This trash is so bad and the jokes aren't even funny!
This is just a waste of money and time!

Needless offensive language and flippant sexual context makes this a not-bvery-funny film for parents with children. The use of the F-word is entirely unnecessary. The pictures of the dog urinating is hardly humorous, and the repetitive self-centeredness of Carrey's character is barely redeemed in a toss-off final scene in which God, swell fellow that he is, makes it right just in time for a simplistic ending. This is hardly a film from which children will learn anything about God's interventions in human affairs. It is a waste of time for parents and kids.

Not for kids
There were some funny moments, and seeing Morgan Freeman's role is nice, but ultimately this movie was just...meh.

Hillarious, good for teens, but humor might not be appreciated by everyone
The story was very funny and I loved Jim Carrey

I laughed soooo hard I cried during a couple of scenes. Jim Carey and his news-cast rival are a good comedy group. It has a good message about doing what is right and not doing what you want but thinking about others first.

This garbage is just a waste of people's time and money!
This movie is trash. No good morals, nothing. I suggest never seeing this movie unless you want to see a stupid movie with ugly jokes and too much sexuality...

There is a great message in this movie.
The two main characters used the Lord's name in vain several times. Jim Carrey's character was very disrespectful to God. And, Jim Carrey and Jennifer Aniiston lived together without being married. That is what is going on all over the world by unsaved, as well as saved, people. So why do I say this movie has a great message? Because what we don't often see in movies are characters who are so blatanly anti-God turning to God by the end of the show. Jim Carrey did an excellent job playing a man who was angry with God for how his life is going. Jennifer Aniston did a spectacular job of not preaching at her boyfriend as he fell into an abyss of his own making, and she maintained her sense of peace and good boundaries as he was doing so. I believe the message that came through loud and clear is that God is real, we should pray for His will, and that He answers those prayers. There were some moments of obvious Jim Carrey humor, such as a monkey coming from someone's rear end and a breast scene (clothed), but all in all, I believe older kids and adults should be able to watch this and take away a message of what a relationship with God entails and the peace that comes with such a relationship.

Entertaining and thought provoking
It was a geat movie, one that I will buy. It is not for children. Definitely an adult film. I am very picky about the movies I choose to watch and this one was worth my money and my time.

A great movie.
Imagine being God.... That's the point of the movie. Nothing really made me think this movie was inappropriate, except Jim Carrey used the finger twice (that's all). It is a harsh thing to think you have to be 14 to see the movie (I am older, but still). I would say ages 7+ would like it (if your kids would get the movie, that is).

This movie is funny. It does have language and very mild sexual material but thats it. If you want a funny comedy then rent Bruce Almighty.

Charming Comedy with Some Good Morals...
BRUCE ALMIGHTY has become, in the years since it was released, a classic comedy that has spawned a sequel, the unshakeable image of Morgan Freeman as God, and heightened Jim Carey's career immeasurably. It is a fun movie for teens and their parents, but it's not for kids. Bruce uses his God powers to enlarge his girlfriend's breasts (nothing shown, although she comments on their size), and arouse her before a sexual encounter. He creates a romantic atmosphere (moon, stars, candles, etc.) and then strips to his briefs while she gets ready in the bathroom. While she's in there, he arouses her while saying words like "anticipation" and "pleasure". She comes out of the bathroom with her hair frizzed up, and she jumps on him. The scene ends there, and it is played for laughs rather than eroticism. Also, there is some language: one "f**k", and some "s**t"s, "a*s"s, and "h**l"s. Much of the profanity is portrayed as humorous. Other crude jokes include Bruce making a monkey emerge from a gangster's anus (and having it return), and Bruce's dog urinating all over the house. Though the lead character acts in selfish ways at first, the film carries positive messages about forgiveness, faith, and selflessness.

Great movie and perfect for teens but should be ok for 10-12 as long as you fast forward through sex scenes.
