A delightful twist into established biblical scripture
) 
5 of 8 people found this review helpful.
With Jim Carrey and Jennifer Aniston both declining to reprise their roles for the sequel to Bruce Almighty. Returning Director Tom Shadyac goes in a different direction by paired up Steve Carell (The 40 Year Old Virgin) with Morgan Freeman. (Both Freeman and Carell are reprising their roles from Bruce Almighty).
Evan Almighty put a delightful twist into established biblical scripture. It was also good to see Shadyac remain true to scripture (With God (Freeman) holding true to his promise never to flood the world again) but at the same time, he allows his audience the opportunity to expand their personal views on the concepts of prayer and making a difference in the lives of others.
God (Freeman) mentioned the following:
“If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?”
Lastly, Evan's ARK does play a significant role, other than being the film’s signature vessel. A-R-K is the acronym for a single Act of Random Kindness…which is the first step that one must take in order to make a difference in the lives of others.

Evan Almighty-Good Movie for the entire family!Review created: 01/03/08
by:
) 2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
I have to admit a comment in the movie I Loved. God telling Evan's Wife...“If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?”
Morgan Freeman again Plays his "Character" Well.
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. Good Movie for the entire family!

A fun movie for kids of all ages
) 1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Evan (Steve Carell) is an honest politician going to Washington with a burning desire to make a change. Upon arriving he is recruited by the stereotype professional politician played by John Goodman. God (Morgan Freeman) intervenes and commands Evan to build an ark. Evan changes appearance as the ark is being built and looks as if from biblical days. His looks and actions make him the target of ridicule until...well ..I am sure you read the book! It has action..animals..humor and a hero you want to succeed. A fun movie for all ages...even if you do not believe in an honest politician.

Great Performance By Almost All-Star CastReview created: 09/26/07(updated 11/20/07)
by:
1 of 3 people found this review helpful.
The movie starts off with Evan Baxter the backstabbing character best known from the prequal Bruce Almighty, Baxter is elected into a congressionary position and spends a lot of time and money on improving his outward appearance in the hopes to personify a welcomed image to the public, this methodical daily routine is soon cut short by an act of God starting with subtle signs and reminders only soon to become life altering changes in both his appearance and mental status. The movie is small laughter all the way through the movie and this can be seen as an improvement over the original movie which offered bigger laughs but in much smaller doses. The situational aspects are the heart of this movie as Baxter's plights worsen. The Plot climax is slightly dissapointing but will not offend the die hard catholics that assuredly watched this movie to assumably boycott it's sacriligous properties. John Goodman is more well known as the cuddly American stereotype but he plays the antagonist quite well. All around this movie is very watchable and its comedic staying power will induce it into classic catagory.

Great family film!!Review created: 03/01/09
by:
My family and I love this movie. It was funny and I liked the spin it put on the Noah's Ark story from the scriptures. The only reason I gave this movie a good and not an Excellent is because of some brief crude humor in a couple places. I guess it's all in the eyes of the beholder....kids seem to think that stuff is hillarious.

Evan AlmightyEvan Almighty is a great family movie. It is much better for the family than Bruce Almighty becasue there is not anything sexual or profane. My three year old likes this movie because of the animals in it. It also has a very good moral to the story. Overall a great movie!

Evan AlmightyThis is a great movie for adults and children alike. It tells a great story, and it puts a modern-day twist on Noah's Ark. My six-year-old really enjoyed it when we saw it in the theater, which is why I bought it for him for Christmas.

Not really a sequel to Bruce Almighty / A+ Family movieReview created: 07/24/08
by:
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).
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.

This is a movie which I thoroughly enjoyed. Not only was it funny, it's a movie I do not have to worry about children of any age watching. Happy to add it to the family library. It would be great for any Christian family.
