Movie Recommendation: Evan Almighty

On Saturday Pam and I saw the movie "Evan Almighty." The new Die Hard movie was supposed to be out--said so, right there, in the newspaper--but when we got to the Rave, they said it wouldn't open until this coming week. They've done this bait-and-switch scam before.

As we walked away, I told Pam, "You know, that movie 'Evan Almighty' would probably be pretty good." So we turned around, gave the girl our $11.50 (that's nearly four gallons of gas), and settled into the back of a near-empty theater for the 11 am showing.

My goodness, that was a fun movie! Unless you're a hardcore fundamentalist with severe Sense of Humor Deprivation Syndrome, you must admit that the movie included some good religious messages. Steve Carrell plays a new Congressman who is told by God (played by Morgan Freeman) to build an ark. There are a lot of scenes where you go, "I'll bet Noah faced the same situation."

Beyond any religious messages, it was just a fun movie. We laughed a lot. I mean, a lot. And that's never a bad thing. The movie was clean, fun, and ultimately satisfying. I know the critics are stomping on it, but what do they know? I heartily recommend "Evan Almighty."

I can't believe your movie prices! Here in So Cal it is $10.50 per ticket and a matinee is $8.50 each. Kids and Seniors $7.50. That's only TWO gallons of gas.

I should have clarified. That $11.50 was for both Pam and me--$5.75 per ticket for a matinee.
