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!System Requirements:Running Time: 96 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/ANIMALS Rating: PG UPC: 025192867422 Manufacturer No: 60128674 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 Average Rating:
 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 ... Read More Rating: - Very entertaining movieI 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 Rating:  - The Weirdo With A BeardoWord To The Wise: Watch the trailer for the gist and most of the "comedy" then come in the movie when the flood happens. You'll save yourself almost and hour and a half, and wonder what idiot movie exec let the budget for this mess rise above 75 million. First off, this is supposed to be a comedy. The result is a movie where most, if not all, of the humor comes from Steve Carell, but even he can't sugar-coat most of this poorly written dialogue. And while Jonah Hill and JMH provide a few ... Read More Rating: - Family-Friendly Sequel To "Bruce Almighty"I enjoyed "Bruce Almighty" when it was released a few years back. I was hesitant to watch its sequel, "Evan Almighty," for a number of reasons. Firstly, Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) was technically a villain in the first film. Secondly, I wasn't too sure about the PG rating for the film, thinking that a toned-down sequel would lose some of the schtick of the first film. Also, I found it hard to swallow the idea of a modern-day "Noah's Ark" story. I was quite surprised with the end result, however. ...
