August 27, 2009It made no sense what so ever. Everything in this film was rubbish, I hope Carell, Freeman and Goodman got paid well for this (I'm sure they did) because I have not seen a bigger pile of crap like this for a long time. Everything is stolen from other films, esp. Steve Carell's. T...( read more)

July 18, 2009This is quite a fun comedy, I like Carell and he's good again in this. He's just a very likeable person. the effects are neat apart from the ending sequence and its quite a cool little sequel. Not a straight rip of the first which is good and actually makes you wanna see more bib...( read more)

October 6, 2008With such low ratings by the critics I expected little from this movie but discovered much. I rarely hear an audience of adults laughing out loud repeatedly during a movie -- Evan Almighty did this! How? With impressive computer graphic generated animal sight gags, with near perf...( read more)

September 30, 2008A film that wreaks of desperation. With Steve Carrel having achieved critical and commercial success his secondary character from Bruce Almighty is now the main star. He can certainly hold a film on his own but here his comedic talents just don't show. Literally the entire cast p...( read more)

September 10, 2008Not quite as humourous as Bruce Almighty, but Steve Carrell is certainly a funny guy. Some great shots graphically speaking. Good clean family fun.

October 25, 2009Some nice visual effects towards the end, moderatly funny, very americanized...I guess this is what you would call a solid comedy but I can't help but expect more when I know these movies most have had massive budgets.
Haven't seen it - you're not missing anything out really... -
October 21, 2009It was ok Bruce Almighty was better I think. Jim Carrey always does a great job. Steven Carrol did a good job too.

October 16, 2009More family-friendly than "Bruce," Carell and Freeman are great together and Wanda Sykes' acerbic humor is perfect. Carell's brilliant transformation from a man for whom stray nose hairs are an abomination, to experiencing prophet-like hirsuteness along with all the routines it p...( read more)

Evan Almighty in which Steve Carell is commanded by God (Morgan Freeman) to build an ark, is a movie far less interesting than its premise.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Though far from a disaster of Biblical proportions, Evan Almighty is a mild, sporadically funny comedy in an oversized sentimental frame. full review

Pete Hammond, Maxim
This bright family comedy is a great time at the movies for everyone, thanks in large part to the brilliant Steve Carell. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
The sum effect is mild yet strange, lacking both the zing of smart comedy and the cohesion of sensible plotting. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
For a movie that's supposed to be about reconnecting with God and ourselves, and cherishing the Earth we live on, Evan Almighty is a surprisingly dispassionate picture. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Dressing thy star in vestments of outrageous design and a wig maketh not a joke. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The shamelessly juvenile, pseudo-religious, mock-sincere Evan Almighty is the most expensive Hollywood comedy ever made. Problem? It's not that funny. full review

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
Evan Almighty runs out of comic invention early, and the filmmakers fall back on what real politicians do when they exhaust their small stash of ideas: brainless piety. full review

August 15, 2009I am desperately after a copy of this movie. Even a burnt copy will do. Willing to swap other movies. If you have this movie, please message me.

February 15, 2009i love this movie, almost as much as i love Bruce Almighty, its so poignant & in many ways more meaningful that "Bruce" tho i think "Bruce" just gets my vote as funnier

August 14, 2008It was better than I thought it would be, but I still like Bruce Almighty better. I just don't care for the guy that played Evan Baxster; he's rude off camera. I have seen him in interviews and he thinks his shit doesn't stink and he's rude to everyone. That is why I didn't rate this film higher; I just don't care for the lead actor. The rest of the movie was cute though.
Take care all,
William
