Newly elected to Congress, Evan Baxter (Steve Carell - The 40-Year-Old Virgin) has his life turned upside-down when God (Morgan Freeman) appears and mysteriously commands him to build an ark. However, his perplexed family can't decide whether Evan is having an extraordinary mid-life crisis or is truly onto something of Biblical proportions. Evan Almighty is a hugely entertaining family comedy from Tom Shadyac, the director of Bruce Almighty and Liar Liar.
