Evan Almighty - the movie

Evan Almighty is a sequel to the 2003 film Bruce Almighty. It stars Steve Carell of the earlier film, and Lauren Graham, with Morgan Freeman reprising his role as God. Jim Carrey and Jennifer Aniston both declined to reprise their roles from Bruce Almighty. (Except for Ace Ventura, Jim Carrey never reprises movie roles…)

Elected to Congress, Evan (Steve Carell) leaves Buffalo behind and moves his family to suburban northern Virginia. Once there, his life gets turned upside-down when God (Morgan Freeman) appears and mysteriously commands him to build an ark because of a flood coming upon the Earth. But his befuddled family just can’t decide whether Evan is having an extraordinary mid-life crisis or is truly onto something of Biblical proportions.
