EVAN ALMIGHTY Film Review - 8/9/07

Luckily enough neither Jim Carrey or Jennifer Aniston wished to reprise their roles from the original film "Bruce Almighty" and we can thank god they didn't - Because instead of a shallow revision of the first film - Which was not funny, amusing or likable - We get a whole new film with a far funnier title in the shape of "Evan Almighty". Plus the lead is Steve Carell who was the only good part from the original. Reminiscent of the feel-good factor; of say, "Groundhog Day" with Bill Murray...... We get God (Morgan Freeman) responding to a request from Carell's character of Evan to "change the world" and Evan ends up as a modern day Noah up against scheming Congressman John Goodman. Funny & entertaining if your in the right mood for some light humour and more amusing than Carrey's selfish character from the first film.
