Evan Almighty

[VRSpock]

Another thread about good movies just reminded me to post about this movie. I saw this movie in the video store a month or so ago and was like "Oh no! They made a sequel?!?!?" I enjoyed Bruce Almighty and it had some really funny parts to it, but it also had a lot of sexual content that was typical of Hollywood and big name movie stars.

However, I had an opportunity to watch Evan Almighty the other week and man...I was very impressed. IMHO, it was much better than Bruce Almighty. No sexual content and no bad language that I can recall, and a storyline that glorifies G-d and impresses the idea that God doesn't give us things on a silver platter. He doesn't give us patience....He gives us the opportunity to have patience. He doesn't give us quality time with our family....but an opportunity to have quality time. What we do with those opportunities are up to us. The storyline also holds true to the original film's depiction of G-d's sense of irony.

I must say well done to whoever wrote the script to this movie and managed to keep it intact as this movie was produced. This one sneaked in under my radar. I would recommend Evan Almighty to anyone looking for family oriented movies.

I have seen it advertised or mentioned somewhere, but didn't take too much notice of it, since I also likened it to Bruce Almighty.

However, since you have recommended it, I will make a point of getting it in time for Christmas.

I also watched the nativity story a couple weeks ago with my husband and I thought it was pretty good!

I thought Evan Almighty was a bit boring....but to each his own!

Hey VR, long time no see. I came in tonight to add a comment on another movie (Golden Compass) and saw you here with this one. I think I remarked one Evan Almighty in another couple of threads, and also used it as a springboard for one of my blogs. If you are up to it VR, I'd like your take on it. It is called "Are we Ignorant". You'll have to scroll a little past half way to get to the part on the movie.

One thing I said it it, was that I had wished I had paid full price to see the movie (I saw it at a $3.00 theater) in order to cast a vote of support to the makers of the movie. I did later, buy the DVD, for that purpose. Drop into chat sometime.

i had a thread going a few weeks ago about evan almighty, after i watched it on cable. i LOVED it. it was 100 times better than bruce almighty was. not that i didn't enjoy the first one, but this one was MUCH more family-oriented, much cleaner, and really seemed to be more glorifying to God.
