Okay, when Grace donates blood for Bruce, the packet say AB Positive, and she says that earlier in the film too. But, AB Positive is the Universal Receptor, O Negative is the universal donor, so its a goof.-- Kevin mills ( talk) 19:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Something should be mentioned about how people in Buffalo were angry over the fact that it did not depict Buffalo accuratly and was not filmed in Buffalo.
Michigan? I haven't seen the movie (I detest Jim Carrey), but the news articles that discussed the 555 phone fiasco said that the producers had said that they used the phone number they used because the exchange doesn't exist in Buffalo, New York, where the movie takes place. -- Zoe
Is it really a moonshine rendezvous or actually a moonlight rendezvous?
Hi. I removed a part of the article that seemed rather... wrong. If you disagree with this, you're welcome to discuss the changes here.
"The universe in Bruce Almighty seems to be entirely centered around planet Earth, as is vividly illustrated by a scene where Bruce adds a few stars to the sky and removes some others -- not suns, but merely decorations for his moonlight rendezvous."
The existence of God is taken for granted in the entire movie, even before God contacts the protagonist and removes all doubt.
Okay, so there are a lot of praying people as well . Not exactly a suitable sample of the entire population, though.
Supernatural events, on the other hand, appear to leave little impression on the population of Bruce's world.
I was just thinking it seems weird, this whole thing with God not being able to mess with free will seems weird, I mean shouldn't he be able to circumvent this?
And another thing, it is stated that he only controls bufallo yet he manipulated the moon, and that is technically not a part of Bufallo.

Well, it only ever says the prayers he hears are from Buffalo. But as having all of God's powers, he should have control over the Moon.

Was it not mentioned in the movie that he infact did not have omnipotence nor omniscience though? Though, I may be wrong
XSpaceyx 08:50, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Well I'm not sure about that, but I do remember God saying outright: "You have all of my powers".
[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]], February 20, 2006.
Yeah I understand that, but really studying the movie he does not appear to have omniscience in any part of it, and the fact that he can't override the free mind, would really interfere with the general theory around omnipotence

When God gives him the powers he says that he has all his powers. Yet the prays are just in Bufallo.
Also God cant mess with free will. In the early parts of the bible its mentioned (vagely when Adam and Eve are being kicked out of the Garden of Eden)
God in the form of a human being giving a regular person powers seems very similar to the 1977 movie starring George Burns (except for the fact that he never gives the main character, John Denver). The plot is very different, for another reason, as God is not spreading any kind of message, as it did in Oh, God!, but all the same it shows God in human form in Bruce Almighty. So is there any kind of influence Oh, God! had with Bruce Almighty?

I haven't seen Bruce Almighty, but I've seen Oh, God!, and I suspect this would come up in any movie that portrays a truly anthropomorphisized God figure. If there is influence, I suspect it is at a very basic level. Perhaps it should only be mentioned briefly for some similarity in concept. WikiZipo 10:27, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
In my memory, there was telephone number controversy because, in the original version, real phone number used. So the crew changed into fictional number. However, this article explains incorrectly-- 59.5.188.72 06:11, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Is that section entirely nessecary? I think it's quite silly to explain all or most the jokes that are based on what happened or is said in The Bible. I think the movie clearly assumes that viewers understand the connections and references to the bible, and I think most of the viewers do understand the references, so I don't see it nessecary to explain the jokes here. Rather the article could say something like "the movie draws some of it's humour by referencing Biblical miracles and phrases in new context, for example instead of using his powers to spilt a sea, Bruce splits his tomato soup."

Several bullets in the trivia section seem to be a bit more ulterior than they should be, notably: "The film is also extremely similar to Robert Bausch's 1991 novel Almighty Me, which had been circulating in Hollywood during the mid-Nineties. Bausch contends that his novel is the source material for the film, and has never received credit for his contribution." I'm not making any accusations, but it sounds a lot like an advertisement or cry for attention. Neither Robert Bausch nor "Almighty Me" have a Wikipedia page at the time of posting, so it seems highly suspect that there is any solid proof behind this accusation, especially since no accredited or valid publication states that there are similarities between the two. I'll wait five days, and if no changes are made, then I'm deleting that part of the Trivia section. Icetitan17 17:30, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
This movie appears to be loosely based on the 1977 Bollywood movie Yehi Hai Zindagi.
