I saw this movie last night, and I went into it with very low expectations. I thought Bruce Almighty was WAY overrated, so I had no plans of seeing this, but there I was lol.
Evan was a newscaster who won a seat in Congress. When he gets out there, God(Morgan Freeman) appears. The hilarity ensues.
Morgan Freeman makes a great God. His voice is powerful enough to believe it, but gentle enough also. And he just seems all wise to me lol.
Steve Carrell( spelled wrong I'm sure) was ok as Evan. I can take him in short bursts, don't really care for him in The Office, but loved him on the Daily Show. He was ok, but it was pushing my limits.
His wife was in The Gilmour Girls, and she was serviceable. Very forgettable
John Goodman played another congressman, and he gave his usual good performance. I like the fact that John Goodman is starting to take roles that aren't all good guy roles
The most impressive part of the movie was the animals. Apparantly they filmed scenes with individual animals, for safety sake. So lots of takes, lots of patience. But the animals were incredible.
The downside of the movie was its predictable script, and the casting was average at best.
I was entertained though, so it gets 6 out of 10 Bibles
