Evan Almighty (2007)

While theologically this is closer to the mark than Bruce Almighty was, it's far less funny. The movie reminded me far more of The Santa Clause (also pretty unfunny) than anything else. There are a few good moments, and I still like Morgan Freeman's portrayal of God, but the ending is cheesy and the few moments aren't quite enough to make up for all the jokes that fall flat. 3 stars.

Oh man. This movie was just painful to me. (spoilers ahead) So, in the end, God decided to ruin Evan's life and flood DC to... prevent a bill from being passed? I mean, really? It just made no sense.
