larryandveronica-knox It's about doing the right thing even when it's not popular. I know it's been done before, but it's still entertaining. "How do you change the world? One Act of Random Kindness at a time" A R K
stormhawk2018 "Have faith!" says the character protagonist throughout the film, and almost seems to tell the viewers who watch this movie expecting something similar to its precursor.This continuation focuses on the character of Evan Baxter (Steve Carell, the secondary who eclipsed the protagonist of the first installment ... but who was very well like that: as secondary ridiculed in small but powerful doses). Evan gets the call from God (Freeman) who asks him to build an ark like Noah because there is going to be a great flood.Unfortunately the movie, grace, what is said grace does not make much of the truth. And if it carries the weight of being a sequel of which expected at least something to the level of the first (which without being a masterpiece of humor, was much more entertaining, unique and fun at times than this) and is not , only the word deception can be used.The main problem is that this new premise is much less funny than the first film. The tape consists of watching this character soporifically talk to his family and co-workers and building an ark without arriving to convey really funny, tender or interesting moments.The case is that the minutes intent, and the film manages to transmit a state of comfort and optimism with ambiance to Disney (nice and lively). There is also a good display of media and effects that give rise to some other sequence of distracted action and some scene with animals quite remarkable.But all this is not enough to entertain the adult audience within this slow and candid story that has the same childlike, harmless and innocuous it is insubstantial and insipid. Not even Carell (I admit that he is a comedian that I like very much) manages to rescue the affair with a character who has been blurred his extremes of seriousness / comedy (he is no longer that smart bastard with elegant dress that made fun when he was ridiculed). Evan Baxter here is too content with a few occurrences that never make him explode in a funny way (not funny when he becomes a kind of Noah, or when he grows beard, or when dressed in robes...rather, anecdotes very little distracted).In short, it is hardly funny and its story is the most ordinary and candid. At best it will produce a couple of laughs (and hardly) for his gimmicks with the animals and the face of staggered of Carell in those moments.The best: That will please the children by their Disney-esque wrapping and their nonsense with animals. Wanda Sykes, her character and her phrases (every time she made an appearance, she sighed with relief)...the time of the invasion of the animals in the office.The worst: Evan's pathetic "dance" sequence that leaves Johnny Depp's "delusion" of "Alice in Wonderland" as the most hilarious of the universe by comparison. His general lack of grace.
sales-282 The cast was fantastic. The animals superb. The art work, the unparalleled attention to detail, the extraordinary sets. The special effects worked. The story was superb, the film was a rare mixture of story, imagination, great comedy and somehow even this most fantastical of tales worked. It kept you guessing the whole time and the story tied up nicely. Political corruption, greed, avarice, moral bankruptcy.To those who scoff. I say to those cynics, where is your imagination? Why have you chosen to become so cynical? If you can do better, then you try writing such a story, you herd up thousands of the worlds animals and you build an ark. if you do please invite me around. I promise to keep an open mind, not to mock, nor be cynical.A+
cebakker99 If you are looking for Jim Carey type humor, then this is not the movie for you. It is not really a sequel to Bruce Almighty. But if you are looking for a warm, funny family film, then Evan Almighty is a winner. Despite the theme, it is not really religious but rather a movie about family sticking together and having faith. Steve Carrell is outstanding and Morgan Freeman is wonderful, as always. Wanda Sykes is very funny as well. It is rare to find a movie that both kids and adults can enjoy without one party being bored or offended. Don't let the negative reviews sway you - this movie is GREAT for all ages and has a nice message. (Not to mention a pretty funny dance sequence during the credits!)
