We went seeking greatness in movies, and were most often disappointed. We waited for a movie like the one we wanted to make, and secretly wanted to live. -Roger Ebert paraphrasing a quote from Masculin Feminin

Evan Almighty
Remember that movie a while back starring that no talent hack, Jim Carrey who gets the power of god and then realizes how tough it is to be god and learns a sappy religious lesson? It had a small role for Steve Carrell as a jack ass who gets his just desserts from Jim. Well now the jackass is a likable guy who has just been elected to congress, so God asks him to build an ark and now we are subjected to an even sappier religious lesson. This was a nauseating unfunny film. It barely even makes sense. Run from Evan Almighty as if it were one of the fabled ten plagues from the bible (I suspect it actually is).
