Description:
Evan Almighty is a comedy for all ages that 'you don't want to miss' (Kim Griffis, NBC-TV)!
Everyone's favorite funnyman Steve Carell is at his hilarious best as junior congressman Evan Baxter, whose wish to 'change the world' is heard by none other than God (Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman). When God appears with the perplexing request to build an ark, Evan is sure he is losing it. But soon mysterious deliveries of wood and tools are being dropped on his doorstep, animals of every shape and size are flocking to him two by two, and his self-absorbed life goes from overnight success to almighty mess!It's a great time for everyone!
Amazon.com:
Steve Carell rides the wave of 40-Year-Old Virgin stardom (and a biblical flood) in this bizarre, effects-heavy comedy about a modern-day Noah's ark. The film is nominally a sequel to Bruce Almighty, although it bears little relation to the 2003 Jim Carrey hit--except for the divine intervention of Morgan Freeman, who returns in his role as God. Even Carell's character is much altered from his supporting part in the first film; here, Evan Baxter says goodbye to the news-anchoring business in favor of his job as a naive freshman congressman. When God orders him to build an ark and prepare for an impending inundation, Evan sheepishly takes on the task (it's hard to turn down the job when your hair and beard grow to Old Testament lengths and God wants you to walk around in sackcloth).
Carell gets to do silly dances and mix it up with a variety of animals (real and computer-generated), all of which reminds us of the film's family-friendly tone and the PG rating. The kid stuff works just fine, although the religio-environmental message-mongering makes this a most curious kind of Hollywood blockbuster. When the flood comes, the film shifts into a mammoth-sized CGI extravaganza, recalling the era of overstuffed techno-comedies such as 1941 and Howard the Duck (and not to be nit-picky, but the tsunami-like disaster that overtakes Washington, D.C., looks as though it would snuff out the lives of quite a few citizens). Capable comic support comes from John Michael Higgins, Wanda Sykes, and Jonah Hill, with John Goodman and Lauren Graham filling out stock roles of fatcat politico and loyal wife, respectively. Carell is even better at being sincere than being funny, a talent that comes in handy here and bodes well for his future versatility. --Robert Horton

Rating:  - Cute.Quaint.
Kind of like a three-year-old amusing us all by pouring his breakfast over his head (and haven't we all had three-year-olds who have done just that?), EVAN ALMIGHTY is cute, yet peculiar (in an interesting sort of way, of course).Yes, we have animals, and sight gags, and Steve Carell yucking it up, and John Goodman getting a face full of mammal spit, yet underneath it all there is a vague feeling of vapidity--a twinge of lethargic insipidness.(And those will be the last big words I'll ...

Rating:  - The most preposterous, ridiculous, ENJOYABLE film I've seen in a long time
From a "logical" point of view, the plot of this movie is preposterous.But if you have retained any portion of that "kid" inside you, you can enjoy this film right along with the "real" kids in the family.
Rating:  - As unwatchable as a movie can get
I love both Lauren Graham (memo to Hollywood:put her in SOMETHING, please!) and Steve Carrell so I figured this movie couldn't be that bad.But it was.I can honestly say that this is a movie completely devoid of wit or intelligence.My friend and I are both fans of Carrell and especially Graham, but just over the halfway point we were in misery.We finally skipped to the final two chapters on the DVD just to see how it ended, but all in all it was a pretty tortorous experience.

Rating: - Pure Comedy!
"Evan Almighty" is an entertaining flick in which a U. S. Congressman, played by Steve Carell, who is personally contacted by God, (aren't they all), portrayed by Morgan Freeman, who instructs him to build an Ark.That is the unusual part.John Goodman is excellent in a supporting role as the Committee Chairman who tries to use Evan's vote until Evan finally gets too weird for the Chairman's taste.Laugh your way through the rest of the movie while Evan gradually and reluctantly accepts his fate ...

Rating: - Very entertaining movie
I really enjoyed very much this movie. Is a comedy that the whole family can watch and at the same time is an uplifting movie. It's a pity that the format is 2.35, I really hate those black bars, the only reason which I didn't buy it. But every time I have a chance to watch it on HBO High Definition I do, it looks gorgeous on my 46 inch TV. I really are not in favor of those that predicate that movies should be seen as they were intended to be seen by the director. This a commercial movie and not an ... Read More
