	Author	Review
United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"Divine Carrey propels 'Bruce Almighty' (...) He is so gifted a physical comedian that even mediocre material shines in his talented hands"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Aniston, as a sweet kindergarten teacher and fiancee, shows again (after 'The Good Girl') that she really will have a movie career (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"[It] manages the clever trick of not sounding dogmatic while playing cannily into a cultural climate in which the will of God is invoked with increasing frequency and fervor."	POS
United States	Patrick Goldstein Los Angeles Times	"Its comic portrait of a man’s spiritual rebirth strikes a resonant chord with the average moviegoer"	POS
United States	Robert Koehler Variety	"[It] won’t exactly rock anyone’s world. There’s remarkably little done with a premise snatched from high-concept heaven"	NEG
United Kingdom	Simon Braund Empire	"With Carrey on top form and some highly inventive sight gags, it's the proverbial laugh riot (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"A perfectly respectable Jim Carrey comedy that makes you feel as if you’re right back in 1997, watching 'Liar Liar'"	POS
United Kingdom	Rob Mackie The Guardian	"Shadyac is a regular Carrey accomplice, but this is a lot better than their previous collaborations (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
