Evan Almighty

This was terrible. There are so many enormous lapses in logic, it’s almost as if the movie was made for the sole purpose of proving just how stupid and implausible the stories in the bible really are. Granted, it’s fiction, it’s fantasy, so I should suspend my disbelief. It’s not meant to be taken literally. But we all know and we can all identify basic human reactions. We know what shock is. Anger. Fear. Glee. When a character, any human being, reacts to something which is UNPRECIDENTED in human history by ignoring, dismissing, and scoffing at it, then we know this is behavior which is only meant to serve the plot. This is not behavior which is even close to the way a human being would react to a thing. It’s not funny. It’s not enlightening. It lacks genuine human emotions and reactions. It’s terrible. Sorry for Steve Carrell, as I’m a fan. Wow. Terrible. Really.
