Bruce Almighty/Fridge

Fridge Horror

 * When Bruce makes the night sky look more romantic, he does things like clear away clouds, and pull the Moon closer. He also puts several more stars in the right spots, and extinguishes others. Without even thinking about it, he just wiped several stars out of existence. Those stars probably had systems of planets around them, some of which may have had life on them...
 * The moon part at least gets used for a Brick Joke, when one character is flipping through channels and sees a story about "bizarre lunar activity" causing massive changes in the tides in many countries.
 * You just have to have faith that God would not let entire inhabited planets die for the sake of proving a point to one foolish human.
 * Was I the only one that noticed the star he wiped out was one he had just created himself? And knowing Bruce's simplistic grasp of the situation, he probably DID just make little dots in the sky, rather than gigantic balls of nuclear fire untold light years away.
 * God takes a vacation in the Middle Ages, a time well-known for brutally executing non-Christians.
 * Also, if that was what happened the last time God took a vacation, what would've happened if God's current one lasted any longer?
 * Who said he actually took a vacation?
 * Nietzsche?
 * Bruce replied "YES" to every prayer, resulting in stuff like the Sabres winning the Stanley Cup and hundreds of thousands of people winning the lottery. What would happen if someone else asked for God-like powers? Or wish for an entire race of humans to be wiped out? Bruce's laziness may have wiped out an entire nation of people.
 * That was probably the point of the film: showing that being God can't be easy.
 * People really want this movie to be a lot darker than it is. The actual God was obviously running interference on Bruce's actions to make sure that stuff didn't get too out-of-hand.

Fridge Logic

 * Apparently no-one prayed for anything but to win the lottery that week. The entire city should have been rocked by things like everyone with any disease or deformity being cured as soon as they prayed, and that's just one minor result. Seems like people would have picked up on the whole "yes to all prayers" thing pretty quickly, especially full-time clergy.
 * Not fridge logic, a nitpick.
