Most film reviews have their positives and negatives, and this is certainly one of them.

The above review from Film 4 allows the audience to see what a professional media company thinks about the film "Evan Almighty". Within the article there is a quite a lot of talk about the film's new lead star, Steve Carell. They name him as Hollywood's new "King of Comedy", probably for his notable roles within other comedy films such as "Little Miss Sunshine", "The 40 Year-Old Virgin" and in American sitcoms such as "The Office". The media institution notes that Carell's personality was best suited for the role of Evan Baxter, as he is able to portray his indignant, ass-puckering, nerdiness, and in a way bring the character to life.
The film comes under scrutiny towards the mid-point of the review. Film 4 notes how easy it is to see where the budget of $175 million went in the forms of the digitally-recreated animals, and the recreation of the flood, and questions what the film is trying to portray .i.e. whether it is just a revamped Christian parable about God's love with poop jokes, or if it has any proof whether Hollywood has rediscovered God after "Passion of the Christ".
Talking about the film in a negative way could give the film bad publicity as it is being shown as though the film is just another Biblically-themed comedy flick, with there possibly being a third in store. They say that the film is less ambitious than its predecessor, and more kid-focused, which in a way connotes that the film will bring in more of a younger audience in the form of children rather than an adult audience which its predecessor, "Bruce Almighty" may have done.
However, as an end remark, Film 4 states that the film is sure to leave a smile on the audience's faces due to its undemanding, unremarkable fun.
