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 you watch this film.
I think where it failed was that it should've been marketed more as a family film, which it really is at the core, but since Steve Carell's previous '40-year-old virgin' was chock full of sexual references and f-bombs, it may have drawn out the wrong crowds to see this film, hence the poor reception. I don't believe there's any swearing throughout Evan Almighty.
There was only a few good laughs, but they were quite good, and nearly all from Steve Carrell. He's the only reason I made it thru the film.
The things that annoyed me about this film was the horrible mis-cating of his wife, Lauren Graham. Sorry, when I think of a married woman with 3 kids, she's about as far off the mark as i'd expect. And the scenes when as a family they're building the ark and cheezy music is playing, that was hard to sit thru.
