The Religious Treehouse

#55 Bruce Almighty: A TRT Movie Review


Listen Later

Who doesn’t love Jim Carey?! This week, Jodie and Matthew look at the 2003 film, Bruce Almighty, and analyze how it presented an American view of religion that parallels Christianity without ever actually using explicitly religious terminology. How does Bruce Almighty depict religion and western depictions of a deity in a way that is appealing to the religious and non-religious alike? Let us know your thoughts on this and how this movie tackles ideas of free will, American religion, and comedy, and whether or not you agree with our hot takes!

Matthew Rating: 3/5 

Jodie Rating: 4/5
