First the good.....I really loved the special effects, the premise of the story, the beautiful scenery and the excellent performances!
Prior to watching Evan Almighty, I rented Bruce Almighty again.....just to refresh my memory (I couldn't remember if it was left open for a sequel). Then I watched the "making of" special of EA on HBO. It was very interesting, Tom Shadyac said he had to direct Jim and Steve very differently. He said "Steve is funnier when things are being done to him and Jim is just the opposite".
Because of that I understood why the two movies seemed completely different, however I was disappointed that this one was more "family friendly" (my fault I didn't check the rating first). My tastes lean more towards the adult humor ( I don't have children, so it's not a factor).
Which brings me to my next point, a lot of families were at my particular screening. So this is what didn't make sense....it was rated PG for that reason, however.....a LOT of the jokes went over children's heads. So the ONLY thing the children will appreciate are the animals.
IN my theater I was one of the only ones laughing at Steve's situations and Wanda's excellent zingers! So in closing I give the movie a 7/10 it is a very good movie with excellent special effects and a fun premise.....however don't go expecting a zany, quick-paced comedy like Bruce Almighty and you won't be disappointed. ~Debbie~
