EVAN ALMIGHTY


We watched Evan Almighty this weekend. I thought it was a pretty decent movie and enjoyed it. Of course, I don't review movies in the same way or as well as Mr. Ginger. But I enjoyed it and especially liked the scene with God (Morgan Freeman) and Evan's wife (Lauren Graham) in the diner. Here's part of it:
God: Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?

And, of course, I got a kick out of the baboons in the movie. They helped Evan build the ark and were quite impressive!!
