Day 25: Evan Almighty (2007)

History
This is the sequel to Bruce Almighty. Remember that asshole guy that dissed Bruce? It's about that guy.

What's it about?
Steve Carell plays Evan who is asked by God to build an Ark. This is problematic since Evan is a freshman congressman, who has a lot of work to do.

Random Connections
This movie filmed in Crozet, VA, and I tried out to be an extra. Good thing I didn't get a call back!

The director, Tom Shadyac went to UVA.

The fat dude from Knocked Up is in this and he plays a funny intern/assistant to Evan.

Thoughts
This movie wasn't bad for a while, but it just got ridiculous nearer towards the end. John Goodman was pretty cool. Wanda Sykes had some stupid lines that were good too. The worst part of the movie was Molly Shannon being in it.

But the thing that got me was that they made Crozet out to be Norther Virginia. Complete with mountains. Oh yeah and there happens to be a dam next to the Potomac river. Max and I were cracking up at this geographical stuff.

Rating
Oh.
