DVD Reviews of Evan Almighty (Widescreen Edition)
DVD Review: A movie for the whole family to enjoy
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is so funny and sweet. It's also a great way to start the all important conversation with your family about faith and our readiness to trust and obey God.DVD Review: Evan Almighty
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent family friendly fun movie. It shows how a family can grow closer together by working together and believing in one another. It demonstrates a great lesson on faith and also a lesson on how we shouldn't be so sure of how God's plan will unfold, because we may be wrong but He is always right. A lot of laughs right from the start and in the end good prevails over evil. DVD Review: yeah!!
Summary: 5 Stars
thank you soooo much! This item came quickly and was in perfect condition. Thank you so much. I hope to be doing more business with you again.DVD Review: Catholics Laugh Too..plus a timely mention of Obama
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a good family movie, where "God" is cool and has a sense of humor; strong performances by Morgan Freeman, Steve Carell and John Goodman rolled in make time pass quickly. Our kids caught on early to clues from the book of Genesis but it doesn't get preachy. Our teen thought the movie was mocking the story of Noah, but the turning point came when Morgan Freeman as God talks to Evan Baxter's wife about love. Noah's story is a love story; it's also about valuable stuff that happens inside families, and how sweet relationships grow and take courage to keep sometimes. The story moves forward with skillful and amusing effects; while "God" draws new meaning to the word ARK, and Evan gives new meaning to the word DANCE.
BONUS FEATURES: Animals and their trainers were interesting to watch in the "making of the movie" features. We also had a good laugh at the outtakes forshadowing Obama's victory. Finally, the Director took great efforts to make this movie "green," an impression which was not lost on the next generation sitting next to us. The movie is an act of kindess in itself. It works.
How many movies can you say have been such fun? Everybody DANCE now!
DVD Review: Great Family Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a great movie. I saw it in the theater and liked it so much that I bought it. It was just a fun movie with all the animals and led us to a discussion of Noah in the Bible. Wish there were more movies out there like it.
Description of Evan Almighty (Widescreen Edition)
Evan Almighty is a comedy for all ages that "you don't want to miss" (Kim Griffis, NBC-TV)!Everyone's favorite funnyman Steve Carell is at his hilarious best as junior congressman Evan Baxter, whose wish to "change the world" is heard by none other than God (Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman). When God appears with the perplexing request to build an ark, Evan is sure he is losing it. But soon mysterious deliveries of wood and tools are being dropped on his doorstep, animals of every shape and size are flocking to him two by two, and his self-absorbed life goes from overnight success to almighty mess! It's a great time for everyone!
Steve Carell rides the wave of 40-Year-Old Virgin stardom (and a biblical flood) in this bizarre, effects-heavy comedy about a modern-day Noah's ark. The film is nominally a sequel to Bruce Almighty, although it bears little relation to the 2003 Jim Carrey hit--except for the divine intervention of Morgan Freeman, who returns in his role as God. Even Carell's character is much altered from his supporting part in the first film; here, Evan Baxter says goodbye to the news-anchoring business in favor of his job as a naive freshman congressman. When God orders him to build an ark and prepare for an impending inundation, Evan sheepishly takes on the task (it's hard to turn down the job when your hair and beard grow to Old Testament lengths and God wants you to walk around in sackcloth).
Carell gets to do silly dances and mix it up with a variety of animals (real and computer-generated), all of which reminds us of the film's family-friendly tone and the PG rating. The kid stuff works just fine, although the religio-environmental message-mongering makes this a most curious kind of Hollywood blockbuster. When the flood comes, the film shifts into a mammoth-sized CGI extravaganza, recalling the era of overstuffed techno-comedies such as 1941 and Howard the Duck (and not to be nit-picky, but the tsunami-like disaster that overtakes Washington, D.C., looks as though it would snuff out the lives of quite a few citizens). Capable comic support comes from John Michael Higgins, Wanda Sykes, and Jonah Hill, with John Goodman and Lauren Graham filling out stock roles of fatcat politico and loyal wife, respectively. Carell is even better at being sincere than being funny, a talent that comes in handy here and bodes well for his future versatility. --Robert Horton
