Evan Almighty is the sequel to the box office hit Bruce Almighty, but this time it stars Steve Carrell instead of Jim Carrey. This movie, with its heavy-handed environmentalist themes and overblown production budget, was a box office bomb. ...

Pros: Well done fun film
Cons: Nothing that I can think of worthy to write about

I did not see the movie Bruce Almighty----so I can't compare the part that Jim Carey played in relation to Steve Carells role in Evan Almighty but I certainly did enjoy Carell in this film…I have been a big fan of his since he was a regular on ...

Pros: A few funny moments with Morgan Freeman playing the almighty one.
Cons: Predictable. The tone is all wrong for Carell.

I'm going to go back to a point I made about Steve Carell in my review of "Get Smart." Carell is at his best when he's simply reacting and letting a given punch line sort of cool a bit. So I guess I'm wondering why the director of "Evan Almighty," ...

Animal Scenes

Relational Development (Evan and Family)

Alright, for those of you who grew up in good Christian or Catholic homes, you should be familiar with the story of Noah's Ark. If not, here it is in a nutshell. God tells Noah to build an ark. After it's built, God has two of every animal (one male & ...

Cons: It was over too soon.

Pros: Not mocking but funny
Cons: None

I didn’t see Bruce Almighty because it looked too blasphemous. Although Evan Almighty is by the same people it does seem to be a lot less offensive. It is the story of Noah in modern day time. Evan Baxter has just won a congressional seat and ...
