What was the film "Bruce Almighty" rated?

The story behind the answer

“What was the film ‘Bruce Almighty’ rated?” — It was rated PG-13. The 2003 comedy received that rating from the Motion Picture Association for language, sexual content, and crude humor.

Directed by Tom Shadyac, the film stars Jim Carrey as Bruce Nolan, a frustrated television reporter who temporarily receives God’s powers from Morgan Freeman’s character. Jennifer Aniston plays Bruce’s girlfriend, Grace, while Steve Carell appears as Bruce’s rival news anchor.

The PG-13 rating places the movie above family-oriented PG fare but below an R rating. Its humor includes suggestive situations, profanity, and broad slapstick, while the supernatural premise centers on prayer, free will, and the consequences of trying to control other people’s lives.

A common mix-up is confusing the film’s rating with its genre or age guidance in other countries. International classifications differ, but the U.S. Motion Picture Association rating is PG-13.
