Evan Almighty
July 20, 2007 | | TrackBacks

I was a fan of Jim Carrey and Bruce Almighty . And I'm a fan of Steve Carell (please watch The Office if you do not). But I am NOT a fan of Evan Almighty. I honestly could write a screen's worth about this movie. What I liked was Steve Carell, Ed Helms (also from The Office. You should watch that show if you don't, you know) and Wanda Sykes. They were really funny. I also liked that the movie wasn't irreverant toward God or the story of Noah and the Ark. Steven Carell can be humorous but take things overboard in some of his stuff (think 40 Year Old Virgin) but this had a positive spin on God and the story. Here comes a BIG "but".


But I'm really disappointed in the plot. It was extremely hard to believe even with all that suspension of disbelief stuff. The way he interacted with his work personnel was just weird. I mean all those birds in the office and how his coworkers in reality seemed to accept his explanation? That just wasn't good. And why the beard and why the outfit? And why would he stuff his outfit into his regular clothes and no one say anything until they were piled up on his desk?? And my biggest pet peeve about the movie were the animals. In the original Noah's Ark, the animals were on there to save them and repopulate the earth. I get that. *spoiler here* But this was a local flood and there were all kinds of animals including polar bears and penguins brought in from all over the earth to get on the ark. And then they take a two minute ride into DC with all the animals and then it's over. Why the animals?? And how come they just flooded the country's capital and no one mentioned it or mentioned ANY after affect of it? OK, I'm on a rant. Needless to say either I don't get something or I'm being too picky. Either way, I'm sorry I can't recommend this one.
