I don't understand all the negativity towards this movie, I loved it and thought it was just as good as Bruce Almighty (if anything, I think I may prefer it). It's creative, lighthearted, and overall a fun movie that I've watched several times!

This movie turned out to be a little better than I thought. Steve Carroll was funny as usually. The animals were cool too. Some of them were real, but a lot of them were computer generated. I thought the film sent a good message. That spending family time is important and that is what God was trying to teach the Baxter's. I liked the part that Evan couldn't cut his hair or beard and then then the Moses robes added to the effect. I have to take away some praise though with the whole ark floating though Washington DC. That was just plain silly. Wanda Sikes gets some good one liners too.FINAL VERDICT: More geared for kids. It's OK to watch once, but not good enough for more viewings.

After 10 years, I finally saw this-the sequel to Bruce Almighty-a few days ago at a hotel in Washington State on DVD with some relatives. We very much enjoyed it with many references to the Noah and the Ark story in the Bible. Compared to the Jim Carrey one, this one was more family-oriented concerning humor but there were quite many hilarious scenes and lines abounded. And Morgan Freeman is usually good in whatever he's in so that's a definite plus. Steve Carell was fine in his bit part in Bruce Almighty and I also loved him in "The Office" and The 40-Year-Old Virgin he made the previous year so I managed to find him mostly funny enough in this. Oh, and all those animals appearing was definitely a highlight for us as we were watching it! So that's a recommendation for Evan Almighty.
