cute family, but not too funny

I expected a lot more laughs out of this one, because of two reasons: the hilarious concept about a modern-time Noah's ark, and the lead star - Steve Carell, who is usually side-splitting funny in everything he does.

We all know it was a box office mega-bomb, but let's not judge a movie on how much money it makes. You don't see any of that money either way, so put that aside when ... read more

Newly elected Congressman Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) leaves Buffalo with his family for the state of Virginia, where God (Morgan Freeman) requests him to build an Arc and, as Noah did before him, load it full of animals to protect them from an oncoming flood.

Lauren Graham *was* badly cast, I had a hard time imagining her as a married woman with 3 kids too!

"Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each ot... read more

Think of it as a Light-Hearted Religious Epic,

“If you go expecting to see a gut-busting laugh-out-loud comedy like the usual Jim Carrey-Tom Shayac production, you'll be disappointed. (But it also doesn't have the bathroom humor -- a relief to me.)

But INSTEAD I suggest you think back to those great religious epics of the 1950s -- but with many light-hearted moments (instead of the heavy melodrama those movies had). I think then you can just sit back and enjoy this movie.

Steve Carell is a master of subtle comedy -- the comedy of character nuances. He's not a big broad over-the-top comedy actor like Jim Carrey. So it's not really fair to compare him to Jim and the Ace Ventura movies.
