BRUCE ALMIGHTY Cert. 12A Universal Pictures 2003
Bruce Almighty is about Bruce Nolan, a down-on-his-luck TV reporter in New York who is discontented with almost everything in his life despite his popularity and love of his girlfriend.
After experiencing a day when everything goes against him Bruce reacts by raging at God - and God responds. He appears in human form (Morgan Freeman) and hands Bruce all his divine powers letting Bruce do his job for him.
The most offensive and off-putting thing about this film is undoubtedly its title and the trailers that accompanied it. However, on watching Bruce Almighty I discovered that behind the Hollywood gloss lies a message that is clearly pro-God and poses questions about the character of God and our relationship with him.
