After
a bad day at work, a man suddenly gets a new job — as the world's new
Heavenly Father — in this comedy. Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey) is a television
reporter working in Buffalo, NY, who has been growing increasingly
dissatisfied with his existence, and after an especially bad day, he flies
into a rage and curses God for making his life miserable. To Bruce's great
surprise, the Supreme Being Himself (Morgan Freeman) appears, and tries to
convince Bruce of the enormity of his task. Bruce, however, isn't buying it,
so God gives him a chance to find out what he's up against; God bestows all
of his powers on Bruce for a week, to see how he'd handle things. At first,
Bruce has a great time bending the world around him to his will, much to the
puzzlement of his girlfriend, Grace (Jennifer Aniston), but after six days
God stops by to remind Bruce he hasn't done much to make the Earth a better
place. Disappointed, God presents Bruce with an ultimatum — he has one day
to improve the world in a concrete way, or God will toss the planet back
into the void. Bruce Almighty was directed by Tom Shadyac, who previously
teamed with Jim Carrey for Liar, Liar and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.| Jim Carrey | Bruce Nolan |
