I saw this in the theater when it first came out, and decided it was worth owning a copy. Took me almost 10 years, but I finally picked it up on DVD back around the holidays. Now I have it on Blu-ray too. Not exactly the type of movie that cries out for the high-definition treatment, but it certainly never hurts.
I forgot how funny this movie is, at least to my tastes. Not surprisingly, Jim Carrey's style really sets the tone, although Morgan Freeman strikes a perfect balance between humor and a dignified bearing, and Steve Carell proves he can improvise utter nonsense and make it hilarious. Also, as a big fan of Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, I can clearly see Steve Oedekerk's influence here, although Bruce Almighty was obviously crafted with more mainstream appeal in mind.
And although it's unquestionably a comedy, Bruce Almighty offers a dash of feel-good inspiration via the moral that no matter how bad things get, you can turn it around by looking within yourself, identifying your strengths, and making the most of them. And yes, that's a somewhat trite, clichéd, and often downright unrealistic idea. But by being a comedy, the movie doesn't take itself too seriously, and thus saves itself from coming across as heavy-handed. Just have fun with it.

This will one day be considered a new classic. Lots of humor, a great plot, and some great messages make this not only a good film for adults, but for kids as well. The Blu-Ray Version was top-notch, and the images were all extremely clear and colorful. A+
