    Hilarious

    One of the funniest films I have seen in a long time. I went to see it twice and we all just never stopped laughing even on the way home. It makes me smile to even think about it. I cant wait for the DVD so I can see it again. The animals are amazing the effects at the end gripping. A must for all the family.

    God sent a rainbow as reminder never again to flood his children. If you take the bible literally, God stuck the rainbow there to remind himself!!! The New God, namely Hollywood, decided it might be fun this summer to flood us anyway, to pour laughter from the skies and shower all with fits of the giggles. Didn't take into account that Britain has had enough rain recently thank you very much. Children will get drenched, adults will remain soberly unaffected. This is a daft movie and will go down a storm for the kids it's intended for. Silly animals arriving at inopportune moments, man with recurring instant beard and 'funny' doings transpiring. All is set to a power hungry vs. environment plot. Unfortunately for adults, the laughter is very weak, bordering on repetition. Can't wait for the hilarious 'Battle Of Jericho' to come out. Avoid unless accompanied by child. Here endeth the lesson.

    Evan Almighty

    With Two small children they found this film very funny, actually we ALL had a good

    laugh watching the film on Sunday afternoon, infront of the fire with chocolate

    and sweets, forget the Cinema, overpriced and overated.

    Brilliant

    This film was full of laughs as well as a good story line.

    Whether you are religious or not this is well worth a watch for all ages.

    One of the best films I have seen in a long time.

    Disappointing!

    From the previews it looks really funny, but they are all the funny bits!

    The film is slow and boring in places!!

    Not worth buying!!

    But do rent if there is nothing actually entertaining to watch!!

    Its summer 2007, its Britain, and its a film about a FLOOD !!!

    Having read the script, Jim Carrey decided against reprising his role in Bruce Almighty, and being a known avoider of 'follow on' movies (Son of mask 'no thanks !' , Dumb and Dumberer 'no thanks !), you would guess he knows a thing or three about the dreaded follow on... But you know with Carrey 'out of the picture' as it were, Steve Carrell steps up in his billing from Bruce Almighty, and does a pretty good job of it.

    Ok its not Bruce but it is a really good summer fun family film, and though it is slightly preachy in the American way with its message, it is definately worth a watch, certainly nowhere near as bad as some people make out. Recommended.
