Evan Almighty: A brief Review
Posted by nathan on 02 Jul 2007 | Tagged as: my life., random., thoughts on god.
This weekend Emily and I went to see Evan Almighty. It was a good movie, and entertaining.
WARNING: SPOILER ALERT–It’s not like you don’t the premise of the movie, but I do talk about the end here, so if you don’t want to know anything, stop reading and come back after you’ve seen it!
At the end of the movie, I particularly enjoyed Evan’s revelation as he is talking to God: You were trying to save me this whole time. If I hadn’t listened to you, my wife and kids, they would have been gone. Evan argued with God, telling him he could not build the arc. he had more important things to do.
The movie had some great spiritual truths in it, and also some biblical embellishments (to port the movie to current time), and it was a great movie.
i do recommend the movie to all!

Thanks for the review, we haven’t seen it but would like to. Just wondering about kids. Could a six year old sit through it?

Tara,
I checked with Emily on that one just to be sure. We both agreed that a six-year old could sit though it just fine.
There is one line, repeated twice, though. It is something like: “Did you know an African Iguana has a penis as long as its body?’
Other than that line, i don’t recall questionable content in there at all.
