Newly elected to Congress, Evan Baxter has left Buffalo, New York in pursuit of a greater calling. But that calling isn't serving in the illustrious ranks of America's politics, but being summoned by the Almighty himself, who has handed Evan the task of building a new ark. With time passing by and his family belittled by Evan's newfound realization, Evan will have to do the work that God has given him in what promises to be an unusual adventure for a man who just wanted to serve his country. But, Evan might actually be serving all of humanity instead.

Good Comedy submitted by 0liviap0pp on June 26, 2011, 4:52pm Good comedy movie.

Evan-->Noah submitted by tree64 on August 5, 2011, 9:27am This is a hilarious comedy about how a man named Evan (Steve Carell), slowly turns into Noah from the Bible. God tells Evan that a flood is coming, so Evan builds a giant boat, much to the amusement of his neighbors. This is fun for the family, and I really recommend that you watch it.

Okay submitted by Annabeth4 on July 31, 2019, 11:23am This movie was okay but definitely not one of my favorites.

This was stolen, uncredited, from Robert Bausch's novel, The Almighty Me submitted by Steve Amick on August 28, 2022, 10:18pm Even in the book, God is described as appearing as Morgan Freeman.
He won a private settlement before he died, but they still suck for stealing it and not attaching a credit.
(Some team at Disney had a development deal, then the team broke up, and some of the junior members of the team got jobs at a different studio where they pitched this "original" idea and failed to mention to their producers that it was an actual novel with an expired development deal. One of the biggest rip-offs in HOllywood, ever.
Read the book.
