How to watch the Bruce Almighty movies in order

Bruce Almighty gave Jim Carrey the powers of God, and its sequel Evan Almighty handed Steve Carell a modern-day ark. Here's how to watch the divine comedy duology in order.
In Bruce Almighty, a frustrated Buffalo TV reporter named Bruce Nolan complains to God, played by Morgan Freeman, who responds by giving Bruce all of his powers. The 2003 hit was one of Jim Carrey's biggest comedies. Steve Carell's Evan Baxter, Bruce's rival anchor, got his own spin-off sequel in 2007, in which God asks the newly elected congressman to build an ark.
π Release Order
Release order is simple, with the spin-off sequel following four years after the original.
- Bruce Almighty (2003)
- Evan Almighty (2007)
Evan Almighty doesn't continue Bruce's story directly, as Jim Carrey doesn't appear. Instead, it follows Evan after he leaves his news job, with Morgan Freeman returning as God.
π Story Chronology
In story order, Bruce Almighty comes first, followed by Evan's adventures after his move to Washington.
- Bruce Almighty (2003)
- Evan Almighty (2007) β Evan Baxter's story
Which Order Should You Choose?
Watch Bruce Almighty first. Evan's memorable news-anchor meltdown in the original sets up his character, which makes the sequel funnier. Evan Almighty is gentler and more family-friendly, so it works as a standalone movie for younger viewers too. Together, the two films make an easy double feature for a cozy movie night, with plenty of laughs and a surprisingly sincere message about kindness and doing good in small ways.
