Shadyac and Carrey — one magic premise wrung for every laugh
The difference: No cosmic scope — the miracle is being forced honest

The same mix in both: dream logic, then wit
The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

Playful where it counts, romantic underneath
The difference: Sits closer to romance than Bruce Almighty does

An absurd power trip taken to its strangest ends
The difference: Genuinely unsettling art-comedy — laughs come with dread

God's powers loose in ordinary hands, comedy ensuing
The difference: Surreal Belgian satire — wry and strange, not crowd-pleasing

Fantasy built on dream logic, twice over

One man gifted an ability nobody else on Earth has
The difference: A sly jab at religion — cynical where Bruce is reverent

Magic tangled up with love and its consequences
The difference: A witchy romance drama — the comedy is second fiddle

A supernatural fish out of water fumbling the modern world
The difference: Gothic deadpan — Depp's stiffness where Carrey is rubber

A magical shortcut through life that costs more than it gives
The difference: Turns unexpectedly sad — the lesson arrives with tears

Witty comedy, and it commits to that
