Bruce Almighty 2 (USA) (working title), Bruce: The Second Coming (USA) (working title), The Passion of the Ark (USA) (original script title)
Overwiew :Newly elected to Congress, the polished, preening newscaster, Evan Baxter, is the next one anointed by God to accomplish a holy mission--walking in the footsteps of Bruce Almighty. Evan leaves Buffalo behind and shepherds his family to suburban northern Virginia. Once there, his life gets turned upside-down when God appears and mysteriously commands him to build an ark. But his befuddled family just can't decide whether Evan is having an extraordinary mid-life crisis or is truly onto something of Biblical proportions.

good family movie go and watch with families, enjoy the special effects. One thing to say about the inaccurate biblically interpretation which was done very cautiously. Recommending it.
The movie is not that much good as "Bruce Almighty" but it still Evan Almighty is funny and at the same time unexpected, cute and awesome! I loved that part of transformation of Evan.
