Evan Almighty Review

What's up with "Evan Almighty"?  Not the laughs, that's for sure. This is one of the LEAST funny comedies I've ever seen, and it's a SERIOUS disappointment coming on the heels of "Bruce Almighty", which was a laugh a minute.

 The story is totally weak. Changing Evan from a dorky newscaster to a groveling congressman really makes no sense and the movie goes from ridiculous on down. Morgan Freeman is totally wasted in this role that gives him no real God powers, and indeed just trivializes his supposed infinite wisdom.

The jokes are flat and the only reason they EVER get a laugh is because they involve animals pooping. If it weren't for poop, there'd be NOTHING funny in the entire movie. That's a pretty sorry state of affairs, no doubt, but then, "Evan Almighty" is a pretty sorry excuse for a movie.

 Lame, lame, lame!
