Nearly 20 years ago, Jim Carrey starred in "Bruce Almighty," the story of a news anchorman who is gifted the powers of God (played by Morgan Freeman) and begins to wreak havoc on Earth. Jennifer Aniston co-stars as Carrey's love interest Grace, and Steve Carell has a standout scene as a fellow news anchor who speaks gibberish.
"Bruce Almighty" came right after Carrey's hot streak during the '90s, where he appeared in everything from "Batman Forever" to "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," "Dumb and Dumber" to "The Truman Show." It was also only a year before his universally acclaimed, heart-breaking performance in the mind-bending romance "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." While "Bruce Almighty" is middling in its critical reviews, it became Carrey's highest-grossing movie ever — and that record still stands (via The Numbers).
You can stream "Bruce Almighty" on Amazon Prime with an AMC+ add-on, Peacock Premium, Sling TV, fuboTV, Philo, and The Roku Channel.
