Steve Carell reprises his role of TV reporter Evan Baxter from Bruce Almighty. Instead of being a snotty, self centered jerk, here he is genial, ambitious, and loving, not to mention entering politics(go figure!). But his life changes when God(Morgan Freeman)... Full review

This movie was wonderful. I can tell you right now that the reason critics didn't like this movie is because there were no swear words, no blood and know trashy attitudes of the characters. It was a very funny movie with... Full review

My favourite scene is the one when Evan is seated in front of an aquarium;....While Bruce Almighty was an inventive and often hilarious parable about divine intervention, Evan Almighty is mighty short of laughs..... ... Full Review

It is hard to believe Evan would be elected or set up in a two-storey mansion, while John Goodman's 'greed-is-good' Congressman is nothing but a caricature.
The massive size of the visual effects department also gives inkling into where much of budget was spent.

While I can't recommend owning it, Evan Almighty is a passable "family film night" rental.
Setting aside serious theological contradictions of the plot, there are a lot of things not dealt with because the writers didn't care or weren't smart enough to figure them out.

But before he is there a good week to God (Morgan Freeman) appears and he has a mission for Evan.
A cheese fest with awful CGI.

The coloring of "Evan Almighty" is strong, but not quite as vibrant as some other recent Universal titles.
The special effects during the flood sequence didnt quite stack up and there were a few minor moments when the level of detail tailed off, but "Evan Almighty" was generally strong in detail.
