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. | | | | Reply | | |      ebrow says @ Saturday - September 22,2007
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. | | | | Reply | | |
