Evan Almighty
I wasn't able to catch Evan Almighty in theaters, but always had high expectations in the film considering how enjoyable Bruce Almighty was and Steve Carell's continuing rise to fame. Evan Almighty doesn't stick too closely to the formula found in Bruce -- humor dropped down about half a decade -- but that, and it's alarmingly short running time, should appease those larger families.
Preferably those with small children hoping to watch something with their parentals.
DVD Review: Evan Almighty
Even with the boost in special effects and budget, Evan Almighty falls short of Bruce strictly because of its dampened humor. While this might sway a moviegoer such as myself, expect families to be in line with copies in hand.
The DVD does come tons of bonus material -- which are also family safe -- including your standard array of outtakes and deleted scenes.
Where the DVD does step outside the box is with its featurettes. See what it took to pull off some of the films more-impressive special effects and how Carell fell into the role (and look) of Noah.
People not impressed with Evan in theaters might consider buying the DVD thanks to all the added bonuses. Those who want to watch something with the kids, it's harder to find a better release at the moment.
