If you remember "Bruce Almighty"
Bruce Nolan is a local Eyewitness News TV reporter in Buffalo, New York, best known for doing human interest stories--which makes everyone happy but him. Bruce would much rather be replacing the soon-to-retire anchorman. Essentially, Bruce is disconnected with everything in his life and rarely misses an opportunity to complain about it. He has a loving girlfriend, Grace, who runs a day care center and adores Bruce in spite of his negativity. Bruce is handed a great opportunity when he's asked to do the 23rd anniversary of Niagra Falls' famed Maid of the Mist boat, which will air live during sweeps. But the mist hits the fan when it's announced on-air--just before Bruce goes live--that the co-anchor position, about to be vacated, is going to Bruce's superficial rival. In front of millions of viewers, Bruce has an on-camera meltdown, punctuated by a four-letter word not yet cleared for network television. On this worst day of Bruce's life, he's fired from the station, beaten up by a gang of toughs, and his car is vandalized. Furious, Bruce rails and rages against the Lord for his rotten luck--which is followed by a curious set of signs, one of which leads him to an old building called Omni Presents, Inc. There, Bruce meets a janitor who reveals himself to be who he really is--God! He's heard Bruce's complaints and now has an offer for the choleric newscaster--his job. By endowing Bruce with all his powers, God challenges him to take on the job and see if he can do any better!
So God gives him a chance to be God and he takes the easy way of doing things, and worse thins happen to people. From all this he leans some important lessons about faith, love, prayers, life, and God.
I think it is a good movie thought it took half the movie to get to the good stuff. And the same guy play's God in both movies.
"Evan Almighty" is a lot better then "Bruce almighty". But has a lot of the same aspects. I went to go see it last night and was very pleased with it. (The previews preceding the movie were for veggie tales, and other Christan movies"
Newly elected to Congress, the polished, preening newscaster, Evan Baxter, is the next one anointed by God to accomplish a holy mission--walking in the footsteps of Bruce Almighty. Evan leaves Buffalo behind and shepherds his family to suburban northern Virginia. Once there, his life gets turned upside-down when God appears and mysteriously commands him to build an ark. 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.
It is very biblical, Bible verses through out, I can't really explain it without giving the plot away, but it was soooo good, 75% better then "Bruce Almighty" (Which did have a good message) They were bolder in the talk of Faith, and believing. In the fist 15 mins they prayed.
You should support this movie, it is getting low ratting, probably is such a good christian witness. I would like to see them do more movies like this in the future. Don't take my word for it, go see it yourself.
Here is the Trailer. (It gives a lot away about the movie, so if your going to see it, don't watch)
