 It's
fun to have God's powers ... and if you don't believe it, just
ask Bruce Nolan (JIM CARREY), because he should know!
Bruce is a local Eyewitness News TV reporter in Buffalo, New
York, best known for doing humorous, homespun, human interest
stories ... which make everyone happy but him! Bruce would much
rather be replacing the soon-to--retire anchorman, or at the
very least, reporting significant news from international hot
spots. Essentially, Bruce is discontented with nearly everything
in his life, and rarely misses an opportunity to complain about
it. He has a loving girlfriend, Grace (JENNIFER ANISTON), who
runs a day care center, is happy with her life, and adores Bruce
in spite of his negativity. While he dreams of becoming a legend
like Walter Cronkite, she tries to help the world one day at
a time.
After being fired from his job and having the worst day of
his life, Bruce rails and rages against the Lord for his rotten
luck...which is followed by a curious series of signs and portents
-- most of which Bruce ignores -- but one of which eventually
leads him to a nondescript old building called Omni. Presents,
Inc. There, Bruce meets an equally nondescript janitor (MORGAN
FREEMAN), who ultimately reveals himself for who He really is
-- yep, He's God! He's heard Bruce's complaints, and now has
an offer for the choleric ex-newscaster...His job. By endowing
Bruce with all of His powers, God challenges him to take on the
big job and see if he can do any better!
And once Bruce convinces himself that he's not dreaming, having
a nightmare or a psychotic episode, he proceeds to utilize the
infinite powers at his disposal, great and small, for his own
amusement, advancement and advantage until finally he stands
at a crossroads: whether or not he will become the biggest and
most powerful jerk in the universe, or find a little bit of humanity
in Bruce Almighty.
