Evan Almighty

So Last night I saw an exclusive screening of Evan Almighty. (Spoilers Ahead) It was really good I thought. There were some parts that were very cheesy and other parts that were trying to relive some of the great moments in Bruce Almighty but over all I thought they did a really good job.

It's pretty neat that Hollywood is realizing the potential for good, solid family movies that don't have cussing, sex and violence. This movie also has a great message. God is shown as a loving and caring God who doesn't want people to perish. He keeps telling Evan that he is doing this "Because I love you." There is a great part that has Evan looking at a book called "Ark Building for Dummies" and in the front cover you see a caption that says 'About the Author' "God - The creator of the world who has over 6, 717, 504, 143 children."

Just little things like that are pretty cool. Over all the movie does a good job of picking up where Bruce left off. Although Evan doesn't get the powers of God he does get to know God better and realizes that with great power comes great responsibility and that the best way to change the world is one Act of Random Kindness at a time. Good stuff.
