Evan Almighty  — 

I enjoyed this movie much more than I thought I would!  I did not care for Bruce Almighty very much (as I felt there was inappropriate material for a movie that was supposed to have a "religious" spin to it), but Evan Almighty was not much like a sequel -- other than the fact that it had the Morgan Freeman character (who plays God).  This movie was much more family friendly.  The humor was not inappropriate for children (for the most part), and the fact that it has lots of animals in it makes it fun for children too!  I really enjoyed watching the family in this film interact with each other and see how their love and devotion to one another grew as the story progressed.  I'd say the two most important lessons to learn from watching this movie are the importance of family and following your dreams (having faith in your dreams).  I would definitely recommend this for a fun family movie night!
