Bruce Almighty - 2003 (#ad)
Release Date: May 23rd, 2003
Directed by Tom Shadyac, Bruce Almighty is a blockbuster Hollywood comedy flick written by Steve Koren, Steve Oedekerk and Mark O’Keefe.
The trio had done an amazing job by creating a story that revolves around a very hypothetical yet interesting theme.
It’s the story of a TV reporter named Bruce, whose life is a roller-coaster.
He gets the supernatural powers from the Almighty and the situation becomes even worse for him.Bruce Nolan the main lead, whose role is played by Jim Carrey, is a television reporter for Eyewitness news on WKBW- TV in Buffalo, NYC.
He desperately wants to become a news anchorman and dreams about it day and night.
Bruce shares a romantic relationship with his girlfriend Grace Connelly, The role of Grace is played by lovely Jennifer Aniston.
He also has an un-quenching crush of his co-worker Susan Ortega (Catherine Bell) who never pays much attention towards him.
Bruce's life is full of unfortunate events and he suffers from constant bad luck. He reaches a point when he fails to get promotion because of his rival Evan Baxter, who steals his spotlight.
Steve Carell plays the part of Evan who embezzles dialogues from Bruce’s segments while accepting the promotion on-air.
This makes Bruce even more furious and he ends up criticizing the station during his live reporting using vulgar language and loses his job eventually.
He gets very depressed and he vents out his frustration on God (Morgan Freeman) and blames him for all his misfortunes.
Later, Bruce receives a message in which he is directed to get to the warehouse where he meets the Almighty God.
God offers his powers to Bruce and tells him the two rules that he need to follow.
The first rule is Bruce is not going to reveal that he owns the almighty powers and secondly he will not use his powers to interfere free wills.
Bruce ignores God..starts abusing his special powers and uses them for his personal gains.
It’s really funny how Bruce tries to potty train his dog and transforms his beat-up car into a brand new Saleen S7 using God’s power.
The situation changes when he begins to hear voices in his head and comes to know that these are the prayers made by people to God.
How will Bruce deal with the prayers? Rent Bruce Almighty on amazon prime videos to watch the fitting finale.
