Evan Almighty (2007)
7/10
Another Morgan Freeman's master-role

Warning: Spoilers
I can't help it, but Morgan Freeman is my number one choice for (almost) omnipotent characters: His president in Deep Impact, and his "Powers-That-Be" in both chapters of the "Almighty" saga, are so distinguished, so entertaining, so stylish, so awesome.

I liked Evan more than Bruce, because "Bruce" started very funnily as a selfish brat, but ended up being moralistic moron; while Evan (with some luck) avoided this sad end and somehow managed to maintain his panicking face.

True, there are huge quantities of minor details that you can (and probably will) think in the way "Oh my god, the screenplay writer must have been completely dumb", such as when 5 cops and a demolition crane try to destroy a building filled with dangerous animals (such operation would require a lot of tranquilizers, for starters)... but what the heck, we can't judge this kind of movies too strictly, it's meant to be fun.

So, to sum it up, it's well worth the time because of great Morgan Freeman, and there's plenty of fun in it. Enjoy!
