That scene of Bruce taking over Evan and making him speak gibberish may be the hardest I ever laughed in theatres. I will never forget that. No wonder Steve Carrel hit it big after.
@@ComicCrossing Yeah it was great because we didn’t know who this random ‘normal’ actor was, and what he was capable of. It wasn’t just Bruce making him do things, it was the actor having to do all those silly things and nailing it perfectly :)
"Parting your soup is not a miracle, Bruce. It's a magic trick. A single mom who's working two jobs and still finds time to take her kid to soccer practice, that's a miracle. A teenager who says "no" to drugs and "yes" to an education, that's a miracle. People want me to do everything for them. But what they don't realize is THEY have the power. You want to see a miracle, son? Be the miracle."
A single mother isn't a miracle, the nuclear family is a miracle. And with the sh** they teach in schools now, drugs would probably be less damaging to the teenagers. I'm semi-joking about the latter
If only that quote were realistically applicable. There are many people who are ill, have been abused, etc. They certainly do *NOT* have the power, they need a miracle. In reality, only very few people actually have power at all.
@s0urc3c0de7 There's also people that have been ill and miraculously got back to good health. There's also people that have been abused and went on to do great things and help others in life
@@bsmi1361 Sure, but not all of them. It's simply impossible to generalise. That's my point. You can't just go around telling _everyone_ they're responsible for their own miracles because all stories are individual. What kind of hell would we live in if we could not expect good things from others?
@@srccde That is why they ultimately are not forced to be responsible for their own miracles. God can be there and create a miracle when a person is truly open to receive that.
The DVD has an unused scene I wish they would have used. After mopping the floor, God and Bruce watch shots showing more of the problems he caused and then some average people 'being the miracle'.
I remember watching the premiere of this movie in theatres with my buddies (incidentally, it was the day before my sister's wedding), and the sequence where Bruce was controlling Evan's teleprompter and eventually body had the entire theatre dying with laughter. It just wouldn't stop lol. Just when you think the sequence would end, it just keeps going. Couldn't hear any dialogue from the beginning of the next sequence because people were still laughing so hard. Such a good movie-going experience.
Watching a Jim Carey movie and saying he’s dramatic and over the top all the time is like watching a war movie and saying there’s a lot of death, like what do you expect lmao
Mary Jim does an awesome impression of Clint Eastwood. Clint hired Jim for his 1988's The Dead Pool. Jim plays a junkie rockstar, Johnny Squares. During AFI's tribute to Clint Eastwood, Jim does his Clint's impression to Clint. Clint was smiling and laughing at Jim's impression.
This reminds me of a scene from the movie "Hitch" with Will Smith and Kevin James. There is a scene in that movie that says, "Do you know what it is like, to wake up everyday feeling hopeless? To wake up knowing that the love of your life is waking up with the wrong man? But at the same time you still wish that she finds happiness. Even if it is never meant to be with you?"I feel I am stuck in a time loop similar to this. I am nearing my 40th birthday and I have yet to experience a real relationship. So who knows how this will go. I have tried to just be myself and that hasn't worked thus far. Yet regardless of the advise I am given, I still strongly feel that if somebody is to want a relationship with me, they are to like/love me as I am just as I have tried to like/love other for who they are. I may not find the love of my life during my time on this earth, but I am at least content with the positive impact I have had on other during my time on this big ball of dirt. lol
@@jimmywiley605 as I said, the only reason it was made was because Steve Carrell became popular from the first movie, so of course they’re gonna make a sequel with him
Jim Carey is “so dramatic” lol the understatement of the century. Just go ahead and assume that before you watch any Jim Carey movie. It’s kinda his thing.
Awe TY Mary great timing for me to watch this with you today and yeah like you I was reaching for the tissues as well and special shoutout to your kitty to he/she put a smile on my face interacting with your mic. last night I was watching a live Utube stream with a LA news stringer (that is a independent video/photographer that covers a event in LA and sells the footage to news outlets. Anyway, this person hit a cat that was totally not his fault nothing he could do to stop it but seeing your kitty put the smile back on my face and OFC watching this helped to So TY again.
I always have to watch reactions to this movie because it takes in Buffalo, where I was born and raised... And which rarely gets a major Hollywood spotlight shined on it like this. But only a few of the backgrounds were actually shot in Buffalo: The scene where they're walking on the lake, the newsroom background, the building Bruce is on when he declares himself as BRUCE ALMIGHTY! The main action sequences were shot in San Diego. (Buffalo doesn't have any rowhouse designs like Bruce and Grace's apartment.) Shout-outs to the locals are very few, but: WKBW is one of the local TV stations there, and the Buffalo Sabres are reference to the city's real pro hockey team. Despite what you may pick up from this movie, though, the Sabres have never actually won the Stanley Cup and aren't likely to change that anytime soon. Jim Carrey is a native of Toronto, which is only a 90-minute drive from Buffalo by car. He frequently visited Buffalo as a kid and has always talked warmly about the city.
I suggest "The Majestic", a beautiful and sadly underrated gem from Jim Carey's filmography. Though made in to early 2000s, it feels like something Frank Capra would have made.
Such a beautiful funny movie. I don't think I have ever seen a better explanation to why people ultimately prefer "Thy Will Be Done" to "My Will Be Done", and what that means and how come. As fallible imperfect beings only being able to see our own unique angle of the story called life, we are never in a position to ultimately know what is best for us. This movie captures that better than any religious sermons I've ever seen, read, or heard.
“Can you imagine seeing someone like this on the side of the road?” I live in Portland, so no. I can’t imagine only seeing ONE person like this on the side of the road in any given day. In fact Bruce by the water is quite tame. 😂
I bloody love the reference Jim Carrey makes to Dirty Harry with his Clint Eastwood impression. Funny enough Jim is actually in one of the Dirty Harry movies.
What I love about this movie is, that it is so much more than just a comedy (and Catherine Bell) Mary's epilogue puts a strange light on herself: wishing certain people to die and the stalking
One thing I like and respect about the writing of this movie is that actions have consequences and if every prayer was answered yes, it had consequences and effects others negatively
After Alien: Covenant and The Boys S3E1, it's really nice and refreshing to see you watching a movie that's not scary and disturbing for a change. I grew up with Bruce Almighty. Thank you, Mary 😊
Being a Black guy from the South side of Chicago, I always lose it when he says, "I be positive they ain't touches me with no needles." Hood accent on point. 🤣🤣
This is in my top favorite Jim Carrey comfort films. I have that same yellow Polo shirt. I’m far too pale to pull it off, but you wear it well, because you are rocking it, Mary Cherry.
The “slimy & wrong” part was about how Evan made fun of Bruce as well as was clearly rubbing his face in the fact he got promoted over him on live television. I’m not saying he wasn’t over the top or that he wasn’t in the wrong all throughout the movie yet I always felt it was ridiculous that when Bruce was upset Grace had the gall to say he made everything about him only to make everything about her. Essentially saying “So your life is terrible even though you have me?” when someone is upset over losing out on a promotion & being ridiculed comes off as very self-centered. People aren’t thinking rationale when they’re upset and it’s two completely different things.
This movie made me cry several times cause it's just. It's so incomprehensible the things that God takes on without a single complaint , and we ask for so much and we often get irritated when our requests/prayers aren't answered but, we shouldn't . Humans are so selfish
My grandmother’s name was Mary…not sure how that happened , because she was German and teaching me to count in German early on…but I did 5 years there in Frankfurt in the Army…
Bruce making the moon bigger was actually paying homage to a line from It's a Wonderful Life, where James Stewart's character tells his girlfriend that he would lasso the moon for her.
I loved this, Mary! Speaking of films about religion, anti or pro: Religulous (2008), a documentary with Bill Maher by Larry Charles (Borat, Brüno, Seinfeld, Curb, Entourage) Monty Python’s Life of Brian (1979) The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) by Martin Scorsese
Why would it have diversity? it was pre obama. It was a Christian film set in the states. I don't see other reactors complaining about the lack of diversity in bollywood. Even when a film has a black man play God, it is still not enough for some people.

Morgan Freeman as God is the best casting choice. And his speech about miracles is so good.
DanGamingFan2846: Morgan Freeman as God is the best casting choice!

It's good
Cause Morgan Freeman is the God
@@justindenney-hall5875 Not necessarily. He's the king of the acting! I consider him an acting God.
Yes they were right on Casting Morgan Freeman for the part
Haven't seen anyone else give this fact, so I will. Steve Carrel was an unknown for this film and this is what began his big career as a comedy actor.
The Daily Show?

Steve Carell was so unknown at the time that he was credited as Steven Carell.
But he is called Steven 😄
I remember thinking it was a different man lmao
Morgan Freeman’s monologue on miracles is one of the most poignant and heartwarming speeches in cinema and makes me well up tears every single time
Only bested by his monologue on answered prayers in the sequel.
Except its BS in real life.

Bruce Almighty is one of my Jim Carrey favorites. Good choice!
I love this movie! You should also do the sequel Evan almighty
They really missed out by not calling the sequel “Evan-gelical” 😂
No she shouldn’t! Evan Almighty was a terrible movie. The only reason it was made was for the popularity of Steve Carrell for the first movie
@@nsasupporter7557 well I think it was a great movie even in some way better than this one but to each their own
@@jimmywiley605 as I said, the only reason it was made was because Steve Carrell became popular from the first movie, so of course they’re gonna make a sequel with him
Steve Carell's Evan being controlled by Bruce is one of those moments when you witness a career being born.
Loves this movie! And that’s the way the cookie crumbles
Jim Carey is “so dramatic” lol the understatement of the century. Just go ahead and assume that before you watch any Jim Carey movie. It’s kinda his thing.
Atheists don't "hate" God, they just don't think he exists. Like how Christians don't think Vishnu or Zeus exist.
comedy with a life lesson. I liked it, back in the day. Thanks for your reaction & have a nice day, Mary.
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for being you. You brighten up my day.
Such a good cat, came over to check on her when she was crying ❤
"How do you make someone love you without affecting free will"
"You figure that out, you let me know"
I think that line is so deep for a comedy.
I feel the tears. This movie gets me EVERY time, even on reactions 🥺
🥺

When Bruce is making the anchor act crazy....there is a deleted scene and it goes MUCH further. Still really funny but also really dark!
Yeah, Evan needing a hairpiece was pretty dark.
Jenna Ortega? She was 1 year old when this movie was made. lol
That was Catherine Bell from JAG and also The Good Witch series.
Lol she just got mixed up because the character is called Susan Ortega.
Catherine Bell is a miracle.
Watching bruce surrendering made me cry several times
One of the best part of it is Morgan Freeman who gives an amazing performance as God

Great reaction! So glad you finally got to see this movie.
Steve Carrel made that entire jibberish scene. His stoic face while being utterly insane is a talent most cannot pull off.
"How is it slimy and wrong?" She was referring to Evan stealing Bruce's closing speech.

So glad you're back! That was a long dang month.
