Giving Steve Carell a long-overdue leading role in a mainstream Hollywood comedy, Evan Almighty is the sequel to the huge Jim Carrey hit Bruce Almighty. And while Carrey isn't on the cast list this time round, director Tom Shadyac and Morgan Freeman are among the many returnees. The focus of Evan Almighty switches to Carell's Evan Baxter, last seen as a newsreader but now an elected official, who is chosen by God to build a new ark. And this ark needs, as you'd expect, to hold two of each species on the planet. Naturally, all the people around Evan think he's gone mad, and this proves a healthy comedy mine that's well exploited. Evan Almighty isn't without a few problems, though....
