Evan Almighty (DVD, 2007, Full Frame)

Evan Almighty is a very meaningful and memorable story, yet also hilarious and is a safe movie to watch with young children. There is no bad language or sexual content, it's just a great family comedy. Little ones will love the all the animals! I bought this for my family and loved it so much that I bought another one for my sister's family as a Christmas gift. She has five children from ages 3-17. This is something they can all sit down and watch together and not worry about the movie content.

Great movie. Glad I bought it. My wife and I think Steve Carell is hilarious. This is humor for adults and children. Very good movie. We have watched it numerous times and still laugh everytime.

Evan Almighty is without a doubt the funniest movies I have seen this year, and one of the funniest I have seen in a long time.

Steve Carrel's character, Evan, is elected to the US congress. Despite his family nagging that he needs to spend more time with them, he thinks everything is wonderful and sets out to change the world. Only, the very next morning after moving in, his tightly controlled world begins to fall apart.

God wants him to build an ark and he will not take no for an answer.

Steve Carrel was at his best. His achieved a perfect balance between being off the wall without being outright loony, a balance he has unfortunately lost in The Office TV show. In all fairness, his type of humor naturally wants to go out of control and it is difficult to put things in perspective. Ask Jim Carrey.

Morgan Freeman definitely needs to get more comedic roles. He was certainly inspired by George Burns playing God. He keep the good natured spirit George created and is able to come across as a best friend. Morgan is not just a carbon copy of George, however. Mr. Burns took a laid back and "see what happens" approach while Mr. Freeman is assertive and pro-active in his divine will.

Comedy aside, I enjoyed the movie for the deeper themes.

The most obvious theme was that God apparently decided to renig on his promise not to destroy the world with a flood again. This fact was conveniently omitted from the movie. But fundamentalists will sleep well at night to learn that it was not the world that was destroyed by the flood, but something smaller. This was the core of the movie.

God several times tells us that "arc" stands for "acts of random kindness". It's not the earth shattering miracles that make a difference, its the culmination of little things done day to day that will make the world a better place.

I also found it refreshing to see God pictured as an active participant in human life. One who doesn't make you a different person when you pray to him, but one who gives you opportunities to change yourself. Today, we live in a United States where a small atheist minority is actively taking away symbols of hope that the Christians, Jews and Muslims, who together make an overwhelming majority, revere. It hurts me to see democracy perverted in this manner. Industry and businesses are free from these restrictions. I am glad to see at least some filmmakers have chosen to remind us that God is still with us. The success the movie had in theaters also proves that people still believe despite the public censorship of religion.

All in all, an excellent movie to watch that also has life lessons that everyone should take to heart.

bruce almighty was awsome, but in evan we trust!!!
evan almighty is more of a flick the whole family can see (bruce almighty has some sexual stuff that was inappropriate for younger audiences).
the movie was so funny and touching, in a couple parts i was crying and then started laughing so hard i was greatful no one was sitting in front of me as my snot went flying a couple rows in front of me!!!!! ya i know graphic, but it was done SOOOOOOOOOOOOO well. your heart strings were being pulled one minute and then you were laughing so hard you had to cross your legs the next minute!!! a must see!!!!

thanks for the movie...A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I wanted to see the movie and decided to buy one instead of renting. Thank you for sending it. Haven't seen it yet.

Love the Office and Steve Carell. He's OK here, but overacts to the point of distraction at times. The rest of the cast is full of likeable actors and it's nice to see them on the screen, even if the movie isn't very good.

Great Movie Kids Love It and it sets a Great Example.
Biblical Principals In a Fun Story.
Kids of All Ages will Enjoy This Movie Thoroughly.
Thank You

Evan Almighty isn't really a sequel to Bruce Almighty although they share characters (God played by Morgan Freeman, and Evan Baxter played by Steve Carrell).

Carrell played a competing newscaster to Carrey in Bruce Almighty.

This movie doesn't have as many funny moments as Bruce Almighty but Steve Carrell's humor is also a different style than Jim Carrey (who played Bruce in Bruce Almighty). The script is well suited for Carrell.

This is a great family movie with less crude humor as Bruce Almighty.

It has a good message about family, perseverance, and patience.

This isn't a retelling of the Noah story - it's more of a relation.

Don't let the biblical theme scare you away.

I'd recommend not reading any of the other reviews unless you want some spoilers.

Loved the movie.It was received on time and in great condition would purchase from seller again in the future.

it was good item and reasnoble price... i would buy again from these people...............................................................

I don't often BUY movies, but after seeing this one I immediately went to Ebay to buy it! This is a movie the entire family truly will enjoy. Whether you watch it from beginning to end, or watch snippets here and there, it is entertaining and easy to follow. And WE WILL DO THE DANCE!!!!

I bought this movie because it was recommended to me by a friend, and I am now recommending it to all my friends! A stellar cast, a fabulous plot, and the underlying religious themes make this a movie for all ages. While the movie is of normal length, I was immediately drawn into the storyline, and felt like I was one of the characters. It's been a long time since I've seen a movie this good!

Having never seen it before purchasing, this movie was pretty good. The visual effects were pretty good. The moving was pretty funny too.

Steve Carell and Morgan Freeman star in this comedy. Evan (Steve Carell) is a Junior Congressman whose wish is to change to the world. When God (Morgan Freeman) appears supplying Evan with the tools and supplies to build and ark. I liked this movie because of the story line. However I did not find it very funny. It was a great family movie though and had some moments of where I wanted to laugh. We bought this movie on recommendation from another family member who found it to be hilariously funny.

A great family movie. No violence or foul language. The movie is a great addition for your collection. Great for a movie with the whole family, young and old. The movie contains a funny scenario although with a biblical meaning to it. This movie will make a great gift.

Evan is back, but now he is a congressman. He wants to change the world and God is giving him a clue of how he can start. A real good movie with a message.

Evan Almighty is funny from the very start. The whole family loved it. The phone rang 3 times while the Enan Almighty was on and we did not answer the phone I just muted the ringer.

really like steve carrell's sense of humor! very funny movie! fun for all members of the family - any age or gender!!!!!!!!!!

Good clean family movie for the everyone, completely free of profanity and sexual overtones. A rare family friendly film. This time Hollywood did it right.

This was a great movie. We loved Bruce Almighty so when this came out we definitely wanted to see it. It's so great to see family movies that are good for any ages and especially in today's world have a biblical reference. And all of it circulates around normal life in today's world, so it's great!! Good one for a family movie night or just went you want to relax and laugh.

We like the movie Evan Almighty. It was on a Christmas list for a family member. I found it at a good price for our budget. Really no dislikes to mention. Great movie! Very family friendly!

I was very happy it got here on time we watched it Christmas eve and enjoyed it.
I was very happy with it.
