Movie Story
Steve Carell ("The 40-Year-Old Virgin"), reprising his role as the polished, preening newscaster Evan Baxter of "Bruce Almighty," is the next one anointed by God to accomplish a holy mission in the hilarious new comedy "Evan Almighty". Blockbuster comedy director Tom Shadyac ("The Nutty Professor," "Liar Liar," "Bruce Almighty") returns behind the camera for this next episode of divine intervention. This time, however, his cast grows two-by-two.
Newly elected to Congress, Evan leaves Buffalo behind and shepherds his family to suburban northern Virginia. Once there, his life gets turned upside-down when God (Morgan Freeman) appears and mysteriously commands him to build an ark. But his befuddled family just can't decide whether Evan is having an extraordinary mid-life crisis or is truly onto something of Biblical proportions...
Reader's Reviews
I thought the story was amazing and very well thought out. I think if you were looking for something exactly like Bruce almighty you would have been dissapointed , but if you went in with an open mind to the lessons it offered and the off the wall comedy you would definitely be impressed. I have watched it four times and it gets better and better with each viewing.

posted by aSa on Feb 05, 2009a movie that is worth watching...a comedy with serious lessons about family, life, career, purpose. We must all indeed follow the ARK's principle/

in bruce almighty, we're supposed to hate this character, and now we're routing for him? any, other than that thought, this movie was sorta good. i like carrell WAY more than jim carrey, but somehow i still liked bruce almighty WAY more than this. still not bad.
