Evan Almighty, a review by addicted2dvd

Evan Almighty


My Thoughts:
OK... I am a huge fan of Bruce Almighty... think it is one of Jim Carey's best movies!  So when I first heard that they were doing a sequel with the character Evan I had mixed feelings... was curios and wanted to see it... but bummed there was no Jim Carey. Not that I would know how they could do it with him again... but bummed all the same. Because of this I didn't allow myself to get to hyped about the movie.. but I think that is always a good thing... whenever I am really hyped about a movie I tend to get let down.

So watching this movie I was enjoying it... then I found myself laughing quite a bit. I don't feel it is as good as Bruce Almighty... but do think it was a really good movie. I can now hardly wait till I get in the mood again... and watch it as a double feature along with Bruce Almighty.

Plot:
Hollywood favorites Ben Stiller (Meet the Parents, The Royal Tenenbaums) and Drew Barrymore (Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, Never Been Kissed) lead a star-studded cast in this darkly hilarious comedy where one wrong move turns out to be a monumental mistake! Young and vibrant New Yorkers Alex (Stiller) and Nancy (Barrymore) have just found the perfect place to settle down and share a bright future. But their new home comes with a permanent fixture they didn't expect; an obnoxious elderly tenant who won't move out and refuses to die! Pushed to the edge of insanity as their dream home turns into a nightmare, it's only a matter of time before Alex and Nancy begin to entertain some truly sinister solutions to their problem! Also featuring the ever-popular Harvey Fierstein (Death To Smoochy, Independence Day) written by Larry Doyle and directed by Danny DeVito (The War Of The Roses, Throw Momma From The Train), Duplex is another laugh-packed crowd-pleaser you don't want to miss!

My Thoughts:
This is one of the several movies that was given to me lately. Being a big Drew Barrymore fan I was looking forward to seeing it. And she was good in this movie I found it to be just plain fun. I was expecting a little more laugh out loud moments in it... but it was enjoyable all the same. I liked Ben Stiller in this one as well. Which is a good thing as he has been a little hit and miss for me on the ones I have seen.

Director: Joss Whedon
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), David Boreanaz (Angel), Seth Green (Oz), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Harry Groener (Mayor Richard Wilkins), Alexis Denisof (Wesley Wyndam-Pryce), Emma Caulfield (Anya/Anyanka), Ethan Erickson (Percy), Eliza Dushku (Faith), Armin Shimerman (Principal Snyder), Jason Hall (Devon), Michael Nagy (Alfonse), Andy Umberger (D'Hoffryn), Megan Gray (Sandy), Norma Michaels (Older Woman), Corey Michael Blake (Waiter), Jennifer Nicole (Body-Double Willow)

I love this episode! Always fun to see Vampire Willow.
I really like the scene, where the gang thinks Willow is dead and then their reaction when they find out, Willow is still alive.
And Willow's foreshadowing "I think I am kinda gay!"

Also this episode introduced me to the band "K's Choice". I really like their song "Virgin State of Mind" they are playing in this episode in the Bronze.
