Evan Almighty review

Evan Almighty 0 Mighty Mediocre

In this sequel to the Bruce Almight movie, Steve Carell reprises his role as Evan Baxter. With really little build up, Evan Almighty jumps right into the mix of things. Right off the bat we find out that the news anchor Evan Baxter has continued his career into one of political aspirations. Right after he got elected to the US Congress under a slogan painting him the politician that's out to change the world, God (played by Morgan Freeman) comissions Evan Baxter to build an ark right in the midst of one of the worst droughts in the history of the region. In a somehow predictable move the area townspeople antagonize Evan Baxter as he starts constructing the ark. Evan Baxter's reputation is further soiled because his political career is being looked more as a joke when he starts to wear sack cloth on a regular basis, and all kinds of animals are following him everywhere in pairs. Evan Baxter's boss is Congressman Long, who once supported him, Congressman Long becomes the antagonist as everybody turn against Evan Baxter. Evan Baxter is predictable on every turn, and has enough somehow enough humour to satisfy. The animals to their part to provide a really fair share of fecal humour. Morgan Freeman offers us a lot of wisdom in the role of God. Steve Carell does a surprinsingly good job deliverying very humorous dialogue, which in his own style is guaranteed to be adlibbed in great part. The sheer amounts of animals in this movie are overwhelming. Overall the storyline and humour fell really really cliche. Evan Baxter was a mild succes, but just does not offer anything special except few good laughs. If you are a parent with children, than you will get your money worth out of this. For everyone else, though, it is probably a worthwhile rental.
