Comedy sequel to 'Bruce Almighty' brings another bout of divine intervention. When ex-newscaster Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) is elected to congress, he relocates his family to northern Virginia and prepares for the good life. But his new life is turned upside down when God (Morgan Freeman) tells him that a flood of biblical proportions is on the way, and that he has to build an ark, Noah style. At first sceptical, Evan gradually accepts his appointed task, drawing media attention with his rapidly changing appearance. With a colossal structure taking shape in the back yard, Evan's family don't know whether he's just having a mid-life crisis, or whether it truly is a case of sink or swim.

Most helpful review Evan Almighty

Hilarious

By a customer from Southampton England , 24 Sep 2007

[Highly rated reviewer]

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.

Jolly good fun

By a customer , 09 Apr 2013

A very silly, funny, light hearted film. Great for a Friday night after a long week at work when you want to watch something that's not demanding or angst ridden. Steve Carel is as daft as they come and is very entertaining. The film has a great feel good factor, definitely one for the whole family.

bonkers fun

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

A light hearted amusing film for the whole family - but as my ten year old pointed out - the makers hadn't read the bible as God promised Noah he would never flood the world again - and the rainbow was a symbol of his promise. Rather funny a 'biblical' film ignores this - but it's not to be taken seriously even if it has meaningful slices

Lots of fun.

By LouisandClark (3 reviews) , 18 Oct 2012

A lovely film. Packed with loads of humour for all ages. We watched it as a family and everyone laughed throughout. I was a bit worried it would turn out to be weird, reflecting too much the biblical story of Noah. I was wrong. Wholesome? Yes. But very fun.

One for the whole family

By a customer , 19 Jul 2012

Having really enjoyed Bruce Almighty I dismissed this for ages becuase I didn't think it could be as good. How wrong! I came accross it on tv accidentally and Evan was equally hilarious! We were laughing alongside the kids. Great value.
