Evan Almighty (2007) PG - 3 Stars

Cute movie about an ex-television newscaster turned Congressman, saving the town by listening to God and building an ark before the damn breaks.

Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) has recently relocated his family to Northern Virginia. When he arrives, God (Morgan Freeman) shows up and speaks to him and commands him to an act of Biblical proportions. His mission, to build an enormous ark for a flood that is coming.

As the ark is being constructed, it attracts a lot of publicity, and the people begin to think the Congressman is loosing it. His family is not sure if he's driven by a mid life crisis or divine intervention until the flood comes and Evan saves the day.
