Evan Almighty - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Is anyone going to see the sequel to "Bruce Almighty"?

To be honest, I'm not so sure if it will do well, but I prefer to keep my own criticism to myself until I see it when it comes out.

Until this moment I didn't know there was a sequel coming out. Any idea who's playing Evan?

Steve Carell. I'll see it on DVD.

He's reprising his role as Evan Baxter, except he's now a congressman.

The idea behind it is basically God (Morgan freeman returns thankfully) pops up and tells Evan that he is to build a modern day ark. Evan is like Frankie Fan said a congress man and doesn't really want to build a big ass boat full of animals.

So god gives him a little "push" by making the animals enter his life rather forcefully, and giving him a full blown Noah style beard. Think Tim Allen's Santa transformation in "The Santa Clause". Not sure when it will be out though.

To be honest, I don't have high hopes for this movie. Carrell's on screen magic is undeniable, but the fact this movie is a PG film says to me alot of his gags will be toned down and half the crazy, hilarious stuff in the first "Almighty" movie will probably be left out.

I can't see Carrell as a family movie guy, I just don't see his brand of humor working for the kids. Or maybe I just don't want to see him becoming a family film guy. If nothing big is coming out it's opening weekend, I'll probably give "Evan Almighty" a look.

In the meantime though, I'm more hyped up for films like "Transformers" "Grind house" and "TMNT".

Steve did the voice of Hammy in 'Over the Hedge'. Really PG, that's sorta sucky.

I liked that movie actually but what I meant was his facial humor and that. Sides, that was a toon movie and this is a live one. Don't forget alot of the jokes in "Bruce" were hardly what I would call kids stuff.

It just seems kinda backwards to totally change a movie's rating into a kiddie friendlier image when the movie's prequel wasn't a kid's movie to begin with. Why bother making this for kids if kids aren't gonna even be allowed to see the first one?

Yeah, especally since PG is becoming the new G.
