Pros: The animals were really cool to look at
Cons: Doesn't make sense, stupid plot

Evan Almighty starts off as a fairly pleasant family movie. Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) has been elected Congressman and he moves his family to suburbia Virginia from Buffalo to live their new, enriched life. Apparently Evan is doing much better ...

Pros: Lightweight family movie.
Cons: Might have been o.k. made-for-tv fare.

Evan Almighty is a feel-good movie the whole family will enjoy, yet it left me feeling strangely unmoved. It has a fairly decent story, but I felt like a number of things in it were fairly half-baked. Not exactly a plain-vanilla movie, it still ...

Pros: Fun and believable
Cons: Only if you are expecting wall to wall laughs

News anchor Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) has just been elected to Congress. Packing up his wife Joan (Lauren Graham) and three kids, they move to a valley in Virginia. They've got a new car and a just built giant house. Life is good. Things seem to ...

"If you build it, they will come." --Whispery Voice, Field of Dreams "In putting on the suit and entering the sleigh, the wearer waives any and all right to any previous identity, real or implied, and fully accepts the duties and ...

Pros: great cast, inoffensive, good message
Cons: some rather unbelievable plot points, too many bird droppings

Four years ago, I went to see < b>Bruce Almighty on opening night, having been tipped off about it at a Don McLean concert in Buffalo the previous year. My interest was sufficiently piqued, and the movie didn't ...

Pros: Good performances
Cons: Unfocused story and direction

Four years after he earned an anchor desk in Bruce Almighty, Evan Baxter has earned yet another desk. Steve Carell returns as the former anchorman in Evan Almighty, who now is a freshman Congressman who was elected on his pledge to "Change ...

Pros: Lauren Graham is pretty hot...
Cons: But Evan Almighty most certainly is NOT!

I could tell you that Evan Almighty is "the family feel-good movie of the 2007 summer season." But of course that would only be true if your family is the kind that really does feel good about seeing totally UN-funny comedies that are badly ...

Pros: Excellent entertainment. Doesn't fall into pitfalls it could have. Soundtrack. Carell is just great.
Cons: Supporting cast doesn't have much to do. Not a "side splitting" comedy.

When I went to see the midnight openings of the most recent films at our local theatre, Evan Almighty was my second choice, mostly because it's school holidays and despite a city-wide late night curfew for people under the age of eighteen, ...

Pros: Thoroughly winning family comedy, anchored nicely by Steve Carell
Cons: A few minor plot holes, but hey...I forgive them

It really is a miracle. Evan Almighty is the best fantasy-comedy (and family film, for that matter) since The Santa Clause (1994). Let me preface by saying that I wasn't a fan of this movie's prequel, Bruce Almighty. A ...

Pros: Morgan Freeman makes some good speeches
Cons: Ridiculous, over-the-top, silly but never funny

Spoiler Alert! After viewing 1408 last night, I expected some comic relief with “Evan Almighty;” but man, it’s really not very good at all. Fifteen minutes into the film, it’s not hard to see why critics are pounding this movie. This ...

Pros: Carell and Freeman, amusing story

Critics have jumped down Steve Carell's throat, as often these mainstream hypocrites like to on anybody's case after success, by lambasting the pairing of Evan Almighty with Dan in Real Life, which for some reason, critics have no problem dissing as ...

Pros: Morgan Freeman, nothing offensive, and a message sent from above
Cons: For a supposed comedy, it just isn't funny

I read somewhere that Evan Almighty was the most expensive comedy ever made. This is not true. Evan Almighty is the most expensive church service ever made. With millions of dollars and a funny lead actor such as Steve Carrell, you would expect the movie ...

Pros: A great and wholesome family movie with lots of entertainment, comedy and fun.
Cons: Cut down on Wanda Sykes dry, funny lines as some of them weren't.

We loved the first movie called Bruce Almighty and immediately wanted to see the sequel. In the first movie Evan (played by Steve Carell) was a newscaster and one of the funniest parts of the movie, if not the funniest, is when Bruce, played by Jim ...

Pros: Steve Carell and Morgan Freeman.
Cons: Not as funny as the original.

Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) is a man who is going places. When last we saw Evan in “Bruce Almighty”, he was playing the foil to Jim Carrey and having one of the most spectacular on air meltdowns ever recorded. In the new film “Evan Almighty” ...
