When it came out earlier in 2003, we thought Bruce Almighty - where Jim Carrey becomes God - was "a smart, surprisingly thought-through blockbuster". But as you see here, a lot of improvisation went into creating the comedy's structure.
Jim Carrey, Unleashed
There's just no getting away from the fact that everything on this DVD revolves around Jim Carrey. So if you're not a fan, don't even think about buying this industrial-sized dose of the rubber faced one. Those of you who do see method in his madness will find plenty to enjoy.
Holding The Leash
Director Tom Shadyac has worked with Jim Carrey before, so his input gives valuable insight into Carrey's working processes. Tom likes to surround Jim with solid actors and then "fish" with him for scenes. Jim may act a scene out in 30 different ways before getting exactly what the two of them want. Sounds simple enough but when you see Jim at work in the outtakes, and in The Process Of Jim featurette, you do appreciate how much effort goes into one laugh, and how much ends up on the cutting room floor.
Deleted Jim
It's a wonder there are only 30 minutes of deleted scenes on this DVD. Shadyac provides an optional commentary for what is often alternate material - built up through Jim riffing away. You have to be a fan to appreciate it, in which case this is a chance to enjoy Carrey going full throttle for big laughs. You'll also find that in The Process Of Jim featurette, where Shadyac dumps Jim in a kitchen filled with oversized implements to see what he'll come up with.
