Trivia:
Stanley Tucci was cast to play the Biblical character Noah. But due to the box-office failure of Evan Almighty (2007) the scenes featuring Noah were not filmed. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Zed is given his speech to Sodom after it starts to rain, he appears completely wet. Then he turns around to talk to Oh and looks completely dry. When he turns back around, he is wet again. Also, Oh and Eema are completely dry throughout that whole time. moreQuotes:
[from trailer][Zed has eaten an apple from the 'Tree of Knowledge']
Zed: I might know everything. Ask me something?
Oh: Where does the sun go at night?
Zed: Pass. Next question.
Oh: Where do babies come from?
Zed: Pass. Next question.
Oh: [noticing a snake] There's a snake on my foot.
Zed: In the form of a question.
Oh: [scared] There's a snake on my foot?

This movie was not quite terrible, but not really funny either. The first half of the movie was not funny, and when it finally did get funny the movie was almost over.
Jack Black is sometimes painful to watch, but Michael Cera makes it bearable. The other characters are minor, and do not in anyway, help move the plot or laughs along.
All of the funny parts are in the trailer for the movie. So, if you're looking for something as funny as Superbad, Knocked Up, The Hangover etc., do not waste your money seeing this in the movie theatre; just rent it when it comes out.
