What Parents Need to Know
About Bruce Almighty
Parents need to know that this movie has very mature material for a PG-13, including very strong language and crude humor after a thug makes a rhetorical reference to a monkey coming out of his butt. Bruce gives "pleasure" to Grace as they prepare for a sexual encounter. There is an extended joke about a dog who is not house-trained. Characters drink alcohol.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what they would do if they had God's powers. How would they decide the best way to respond to prayers? Most of the prayers in this movie are "petitionary," meaning that they are asking for something, usually love, money, or status-related. What other kinds of prayers are there? Some families will want to discuss their own ideas about God and prayer.

Love It
This is funny, I loved it. So many people hate it because of the "god" stuff. I don't care, I say OH MY GOD! all the time, so I don't care. It's funny, and there is only 1 sex scene, which doesn't matter. It's very funny. This is kind of thing you should buy. The sequal isn't near as good. I ssuggest this to kids 5+ as long as they don't repeat everything they say.
