Freshman Congress member Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) finds his new job tougher than expected: On top of his legislative duties, God (Morgan Freeman) wants him to build an ark.
The movie is big on special effects but short on laughs.
A few scenes involving animals are irresistibly cute. But mostly we get gags starring bird droppings -- messages from the sky that are neither divine nor inspired.
Viewers expecting a sequel to Bruce Almighty, or a hilarious Carell romp, will be disappointed; it’s no sequel ,far from “almighty,” Evan is pretty helpless, and Carell prompts chuckles rather than laughs.
