I went and saw Evan Almighty since I was wondering if Hollywood could make a decent re-telling of a story even non-believers know. Let me say this, if you are going for sound theology and a "bible tale" this is not it. It really isn't a secret that Hollywood has no clue about biblical theology so give that a rest.
That said, this movie is AWESOME! Steve Carell really knocked it out of the part making the movie both clean and funny. I would like to extend that as a challenge to Hollywood and comics in general; learn to be really funny, don't go for the cheap cussing or politic jokes. Interspersed with the light-hearted humor, and sometimes side-splitting laughter, are a couple of really touching moments. Morgan Freeman plays a wonderful God who does whatever it takes to convince the New York Noah to do as he has been commanded. The story is typical with no surprises or plot twists, just great humor and a good story.
Go See This Film!
