We went to a movie today at the W in W town. I saw the previews and really wanted to go. J said I wanted to see Steve Carell and hear "Rock the Boat." Well, the song "Rock the Boat," never played. But several other songs did play such as "Waiting on the World to Change," by John Mayer.
Evan Baxter was a newsman, turned congressman who wanted to make a change. The family moved to a suburb in Washington D.C. He had promised his sons that they would do something together, but when he returned home he was assigned to read a huge piece of legislation and his kids were disappointed again. His wife was hoping things would change. So he prayed to God that he could help change the world somehow.
Evan's clock would always go off at 6: 14, even though he had it set for 7 AM. God appeared to Evan and he didn't want to do as God wanted him to do which was to build an ark. So throughout the day the thought of Gen 6:14 would always appear to him. Once God got Evan's attention then he did as God told him to do.
Everyone including his family thought that he was crazy. He actually talked to God and God answered back. Evan's appearance was changing as well. People thought he had gone over the edge.
So this modern day Noah, in the form of Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) built an ark.
It was a very funny movie at the end. It had a good message. Often times, you don't see a movie like this. In my opinion, it was refreshing. I would at least rate it a B plus. It was a good one! :)

That's a great review! *cough - newsletter - cough*. I'd seen a short advertisement for it and wondered if it was "for real" or not. We might just go see it!
It was funny. The critics didn't like it, but don't listen to them. This is a funny movie.
