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: 025192867521 Manufacturer No: 60128675 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:  - As unwatchable as a film can getI love both Lauren Graham (memo to Hollywood: put her in SOMETHING, please!) and Steve Carrell so I figured this movie couldn't be that bad. But it was. I can honestly say that this is a movie completely devoid of wit or intelligence. My friend and I are both fans of Carrell and especially Graham, but just over the halfway point we were in misery. We finally skipped to the final two chapters on the DVD just to see how it ended, but all in all it was a pretty tortorous experience. I'm ... Read More Rating:  - An Almighty Sequel!!!This is a really good sequel. You don't need Jim Carrey this time, you get Steve Carrell who was also in the original. Morgan Freeman is back, who does an awesome job of playing God. God asks Evan Baxter to build an Ark because a flood is coming. No one believes Evan, not even his family. This has a really good stoyline and sets a good message for kids. I'm ready for an Almighty trilogy. If you loved the original, and Steve Carell, you'll love EVAN ALMIGHTY!!! Rating: - Just Not FunnyTom Shadyac, the director of this movie has brought us some excellent comedy movies in the past both as producer and director. Ace Ventura Pet Detective, Nutty Professor 1 & 2, Liar Liar plus others are all great movies, even the prequel to this Bruce Almighty was a mildly amusing and heart breaking movie. Evan Almighty was on the other end of the comedy spectrum when compared to his other triumphs. Steve Carell of The Office fame has fast become one of the most recognisable names in comic acting yet ... Read More Rating: - cosmic clownNot funny. Saw it on TV and was inspired to say this is worse than you might even suspect. If there were a god that reaveled himself to the world like this I wouldn't like him. Well, I guess in the Bible god does do stuff like this and that's why I didn't like him. What a jerk. "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" --From the Amazon review. LOL. That part was funny. Rating:  - It only takes one Act of Random Kindness.I'm not one for blasphemy, but if someone is going to play the creator of the heavens and earth Morgan Freeman is the best choice. In the sequel to the 2003 hit Bruce Almighty we are reunited with local newsman Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) in his new role as congressman. In his political campaign he promises to change the world and the rest of the movie is set in motion. Starting with the strange appearance of the number 614. Of course this is to reference the Book of Genesis 6:14 in which God instructs ... Read More |
