tobias_nakat My absolute favorite film. Wanda Sykes as Rita delivers an Oscar worthy performance and the child actors are brilliant. The humour was fantastic and had me rolling in laughter. The story is heartwarming and Joel Coen (No Country For Old Men) writes another Oscar worthy screenplay.Recommend to Christians, movie lovers, and family's in need of a great laugh and a good time.

mitchelltja I've never left a review on IMDb. However, i have just watched Evan Almighty, and I think it's necessary to warn people. This film is terrible. It doesn't work on any level and actually makes no sense. It completely gives up on being a comedy for the end and finishes with a miming dance number. Funny thing is they probably made their money back through promotion... I mean Steve Carrell won a prestigious Teen Choice award for this... this is a great example of how lazy Hollywood is, but who can blame them? Let's make a sequel to an OK film, lose the only funny star, write it in a fortnight and we can all make some cash monies, regardless of the fact that we're spitting in the face of the art of film... It's not bad enough that it becomes good again; it's just bad. I gave it 3 stars because there is a time and a place (severely hung over) and a certain level of stoned (full baked) that would deem this movie a valid way to spend your time.

Wuchak Released in 2007, "Evan Almighty" has Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) from "Bruce Almighty" moving to the Washington DC area as a congressman with his family when God (Morgan Freeman) instructs him to build an ark, like Noah in the Old Testament. Of course his colleagues and family thinks he's off his rocker. Lauren Graham plays Evan's wife and John Goodman an intimidating congressman while Wanda Sykes & Jonah Hill play assistants. This sequel isn't laugh-out-loud funny like much of "Bruce Almighty" was, but it's a fun and amusing flick AS LONG AS you favor the cast and the biblical theme. It's also more family-friendly. Steve's a quality protagonist, Graham looks great in tight jeans, the moral's worthy and the last act delivers the goods. However, with just a little more imagination & effort it could've been so much better. As it is, the second act lags and tempts the viewer to tune out. So I can only give it a mild thumbs up. Incredibly, the movie cost $175 million to make (in 2006 dollars). The film runs 96 minutes and was shot in Virginia and Universal Studios, CA. GRADE: B-

FilmBuff1994 Evan Almighty is a good movie with a very promising storyline that definitely could have been done better,and a good comedic cast.The movie is a spin-off to Bruce Almighty focusing on Steve Carell's character Evan Baxter,although in this the character is a lot more likable than Evan was previously.The script was certainly nothing outstanding and there was nothing extremely funny in this,but Carell did the best he could with this script and certainly improved on it,I also really enjoyed seeing Morgan Freeman reprise his role as God.Its nowhere near as good as Bruce Almighty and Jim Carrey's absence won't go unnoticed but Evan Almighty is still an enjoyable movie with some funny parts and also some surprisingly great special effects,I would recommend it to watch if you ever see it on television and have some time to kill. A congressman looking to change the world for the better is assigned by God to build an ark and gather two of every animal.Best Performance: Steve Carell Worst Performance: John Michael Higgins
