This movie is the sequel to Bruce Almighty and looks very funny and entertaining. Evan, the news guy that Bruce humiliated, plays the role of Bruce in this movie and has similar powers to what Bruce had in the original movie. I just saw the previews while at theatre today watching Night at the Museum. People were dying laughing while watching the previews. Will you be seeing this movie or do you think it will be a flop? Did you enjoy Bruce Almighty?

That is correct that Jim Carrey is not in this film as the role was passed on to Evan, who also starred in the 40 Year Old Virgin. Morgan Freeman is returning in the same role in this movie.

I will wait till this movie goes to dvd to rent. I am trying not to go to the theaters as much it is just so darn expensive. I really like the actor who plays evan he was really good in little miss sunshine.

You are certainly right about it being way expensive, both day and night movies. I do not go as often now but still go when something I like comes out.

i am addicted to jim carrey's bruce almighty. i have seen it four times and still, i can't stop laughing! i haven't heard yet about evan almight until now. i hope jim carrey's there as well. but nevertheless, i do think it will be a nice sequel to watch as well and see what happens after his life with Bruce.

I believe that Jim will not be in this movie this time but Morgan Freeman is in the movie and playing the role as God again. It still looks funny and will check it out for sure.

I remember this movie-I thought it was extremely funny. I remember the scene where the dog was using the potty in Bruce's bathroom and holding the newspaper with his paws and reading. The look on Bruce's girlfriend, Grace, when she opened the bathroom door was priceless. I will keep a look out for the sequel because I really enjoy funny movies.

I do remember a lot from Bruce Almighty and wonder what kind of funny things Evan will be doing with his powers. It should be interesting to say the least and is supposed to come out in theatres sometime this summer.

I seen Bruce Almighty and really enjoyed it. If Im not mistaken isnt Evan the same guy from "The 40 Year Old Version". If its who Im thinking of it should be funny. I dont tend to like the sequals to movies. It seems like the original is always the best. I havent seen the coming attractions yet but I would most likely wait for it to come out on video before watching it. Best of luck to you!

Yes, Evan is the same guy in the Bruce Almighty film as well as the 40 Year Old Virgin. He is hilarious so this sequel should be funny as well, though maybe not as good as the original with Jim Carrey.

I'm torn in my opinion of this film, first off the history of jim carrey sequals without jim carrey starring, dumb and dumberer, son of the mask etc they have a history of being terrible flops. But on the other hand Steve Carrell (Evan)is a great actor, and has had recent success in Little Miss Sunshine, i think he may have the ability and charisma to move the spotlight away from Carrey, even if his appearance in the first film is forgettable (like brick tamland from anchorman but with less laughs and less lines. I do think it will be a commercial success, and pretty well recieved, i haven't seen the previews yet they aren't in UK cinemas. What did you think to night at the museum? i found it really funny for a PG and ben stiller gives a great performance.

I loved the movie Night at the Museum as it was a very funny movie and will probably go see it again with a friend tomorrow evening. It was better than I thought after seeing the previews. It is hard to have sequels without the main character but Evan should be funny.

I really didnt care for the first one..so I don't think I will watch Evan Almighty.. I respect the personal tastes of others however, and am glad you liked it.

We will probably see this movie. We enjoyed Bruce Almighty very much. You might as well give this film a chance too. There are so many other ones that have flopped and we took the time to watch those, so night as well watch this one too.

I saw the previews for it. I will probably go see it but I doubt it will be as good as Bruce. It looks like they just wanted to squeeze a few more bucks out of us at the box offices. I could be wrong though.

I thought Bruce Almighty was okay. I didn't know that there is going to be a sequel to it though. I think I would have to see the preview before I decided if I am going to watch it.

Steve Carrel (from The Office, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Little Miss Sunshine) is in it! Of course it's going to be a great movie that will do well. Plus Lauren Graham plays his wife :) It does look really funny and it's one that I can't wait to see.

I loved Bruce Almighty and I look forward to seeing Evan Almighty. I'm sure if it will be as good but I think Steve Carrol is a great comedic actor. I do like the overall idea though so I'll at least rent it. I have seen some of the previews and read about it a little and it sounds like there are going to be a couple nice little twists. We'll have to wait and see.

bruce almighty did not thrill me at all. It had moments but it seemed forced. I felt guilty for watching, like it was a mockery to God. I doubt I will watch evan almighty. If I do it will be a rental or when it is HBO or something.

I can understand your point of view as well about the original movie as I am sure others took offense to it as well. Thank you for taking time to respond and hope that you are having a nice day.

I saw the trialer on TV and I think it will be better than "Bruce Almighty". Me and my son were laughing out loud by just wathing the trailer on TV which is shorter than trailer shown in the cinema. Although not as well known as Jim Carrey in comedy, this news guy looks funny enough to make us laugh.

Bruce was great, I guess I'll see Evan at some point. I can't wait for the third, Thomas almighty. A simple clerk who watches two movies about god giving his power to other people actual has it happen to him. Oh the hyjenks that persue and he tries to help people on the mylot discussion group hes a part of. What happens when you stop giving advice and just make it happen?
