Just got back from seeing Evan Almighty. It took me a while to go see Bruce Almighty because I figured it would be sacrilegious. I'm not a big fan of Jim Carey in movies when he acts stupid, but Bruce Almighty was not as bad as I expected. It was an OK movie, but definitely not worth buying as far as I'm concerned.Evan Almighty, on the other hand, will one day be in my video library. I'm not much a movie critic, but here's my review:
Thumbs down for:
- "God" (Morgan Freeman) spouts New Age theology and "waters down" the message of the Genesis flood (no pun intended)
- References to a certain species of duck and it's male anatomy
- A number of good messages
- Good triumphs over evil
- Value of family
- Obeying God even when it is (MAJOR) difficult
- One scene where God laughs when Evan talks about being "too busy" and having too much to do to build the ark
- Having faith in God even when circumstances don't line up with what you heard God say
- No cussing
- I know I have NEVER laughed so hard during a movie
- Even a scene to make you cry if you are prone to that sort of thing as I am
I give it an 8 out of 10, losing a point for "God's" erroneous "theology" and the unnecessary (2) animal anatomy references. Great movie to see on a family vacation. When the movie comes out on DVD, you can borrow it from me.
