I can’t believe they made a sequel to Bruce Almighty… That movie was barely funny, in fact, the only funny scene was Steve Carell’s unbelievable “gibberish” scene. That’s what makes this sequel even news-worthy. I think Steve Carell is the funniest guy in Hollywood, hopefully this movie adds to that reputation and doesn’t take away from it. Even if it does, I’ll still watch 40 Year Old Virgin once a month and laugh my ass off… ‘Evan Almighty’ hits theatres June 22, 2007.
Catch the trailer at the movie’s Official Site: http://www.evanalmighty.com
Synopsis: Steve Carell (The 40-Year-Old Virgin), reprising his role as the polished, preening newscaster Evan Baxter of Bruce Almighty, is the next one anointed by God to accomplish a holy mission in the hilarious new comedy Evan Almighty. Blockbuster comedy director Tom Shadyac (The Nutty Professor, Liar Liar, Bruce Almighty) returns behind the camera for this next episode of divine intervention. This time, however, his cast grows two-by-two. Newly elected to Congress, Evan leaves Buffalo behind and shepherds his family to suburban northern Virginia. Once there, his life gets turned upside-down when God (Morgan Freeman) appears and mysteriously commands him to build an ark. But his befuddled family just can’t decide whether Evan is having an extraordinary mid-life crisis or is truly onto something of Biblical proportions…

My family and I saw the movie this past Tuesday and I posted my review and comments here on my blog:

I had some further thoughts about the marketing aspect of the movie, I would like to hear your opinion on that.
