Critics Consensus

Big on special effects but short on laughs, Evan Almighty underutilizes a star-studded cast that includes Steve Carell and Morgan Freeman.

Tim Grierson Screen International Evan Almighty is an ungainly melding of religious paean, big-budget studio comedy, feel-good family niceties and summer-blockbuster spectacle. Jul 23, 2008 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald For long after the waters have subsided, there remains a very wide gap between havoc and hilarity. Rated: 2/4 Sep 21, 2007 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard Should have been a lot more amusing than it turns out. Aug 3, 2007 Full Review CJ Sheu Review Film Review But most of these faults are due to the film’s commitment to the philosophical bit. Also, they named the Noah-character’s wife “Joan” (Lauren Graham) because her husband is building an ark. Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies What Evan Almighty shows is that one act of random kindness can indeed make a difference. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 30, 2022 Full Review Brandy McDonnell The Oklahoman With "Evan Almighty," director Tom Shadyac and writer Steve Oedekerk again manage to balance humor with spiritual insight. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 15, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member It ruined what was no longer good. Average movies always have totally bad sequels. Why do good actors get into these things? 1/10 Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Bernadette Y Bloody Awesome watched it many times x Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Hargie M As the story unfolded, I found myself struggling to connect with the premise. Carell brings his trademark comedic timing and affable demeanor to the film. His portrayal of a man thrust into an unexpected and fantastical situation is engaging, but I couldn't shake the feeling that the story lacked the depth and nuance of its predecessor. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review Brooke M I don't know why this movie has bad reviews. It's one of my favorite family films of all time. It's so funny and wholesome, it's good for everyone in the family from the parents to the teens to the little kids. Some of the quotes from this movie have stuck with me for years. Great cast, interesting plot, well rounded conclusion with lots of good hearted fun throughout. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/22/24 Full Review Ruger Evan Almighty is a great fun family piece. At certain times you will be connected to family and comedy. Great movie. Also if you love the office Micheal Scott as Moses is amazing! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review hailee M Such a good movie Steve Carrell did such an amazing job playing Evan. The way the movie was thought I think was brilliant and just all those freaking animals got the whole zoo and building ship Noah ark great in the backyard of his house LOL Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
