Just now watching this movie some 14 years after it came out..


And I'm laughing pretty good. I pretty much avoided this movie back in the day when it came out because I was burnt out on Jim. I mean I saw little bits here and there over the years but yeah just watching it today and I have lol'd probably half a dozen times. A lot of the movie is pretty bad but it has some definite lol moments, more than I can say when I usually watch a comedy today.

I love when this happens, this actually happened with Cable Guy a couple years ago as well. I walked out on that movie when it came out lol. Love it now.

lol

shouldn't you watch the entire movie before you review it not critique as you go. You could've at least edit the original comment that way you don't need to double post

anyways i found the line that GOD (MORGAN FREEMAN) at the end was stupid

"Parting your soup is not a miracle, Bruce. It's a magic trick. A single mom who's working two jobs and still finds time to take her kid to soccer practice, that's a miracle"

LMFAO you know this is written by some idiot western born person, with their "first world" problems.

NO, a miracle is an african native who fights to stay alive even if they have to sell their kidney that is actually HIV positive because whiteman screwed up their land and people.

" they have to sell their kidney that is actually HIV positive because whiteman"

Who is this 'whiteman'? Do you realize your statement is illogical as it is racistic?

Do you not know that black people have been enslaving black people throughout history? Do you not realize blaming something someone in africa has to suffer on an ENTIRE RACE is incredibly hostile and racistic towards innocent people, who never hurt anyone in their whole lives, and would never do anything bad to that african 'native', as you call him/her..?

A miracle is someone that writes an intelligent, well thought-out post without resorting to racism or insults or exaggerated, silly examples. Africa is a mess, but many africans (or 'natives' as you seem to prefer) cause their own problems. If the continent wasn't so overpopulated (because people have uncontrolled sex - somehow this is the 'whiteman''s fault, of course, right?) and didn't have so many warring tribes and pirates, people wouldn't have to starve so much.

How about the kids in asia that sniff glue because they have nothing better to do, and then fall asleep in the middle of a busy street, where they can be easily run over by cars while they suffocate from all the pollution?

Also, who the heck would buy a HIV-infested kidney? How can you stay alive better by selling your organs? Wouldn't that make you weaker and thus less likely to stay alive?

How long is the IMAGINED african you speak of, going to stay alive anyway? Why is it important that this african 'native' suffers a bad life as long as possible, instead of just dying away and finally be at peace and in joy?

(Not that death even exists, so this 'african native' will be alive even after the body dies)

I agree that the 'miracle'-line is idiotic, but not for the reasons you state. Women are always praised for every little thing they do, although they caused their own problems. Why is the man not in the picture? Why is the mom single?

Single mothers bring up the worst criminals and the most twisted people in the world. They can't bring up kids properly, because both man and woman are needed for a child to grow up balanced.

How about a miracle of a nerdy guy, who was always bullied ever since he was a kid, growing up to a success? And I don't even mean financial success - he could be a success in creativity, spirituality, life goals, harmony, peace of mind, Zen ... being able to be happy even after being bullied all his life - now, that's a miracle.

But no, it's always about these skanks who first go through the 'cóck carousel' phase, and when they hit the wall, they push out a couple of wombturds to get government money (what single mother really works two jobs anyway? Why do they think 'soccer practice' is the best thing for a kid?), and after pushing off 8000 good men, that would've been the best fathers, they put on their 'victim status' uniform and complain to everyone how hard life is, because after all, she's now a single mother.

These 'single mothers' push away good men, and they are the ones initiating the divorces, they're the ones that don't want the perfectly good father in their lives, beacuse 'I am a woman, I deserve better', and then get even God himself to praise these poor, innocent women, selfishly raising more criminals in this overpopulated world, just so they can get the government money so they can booze and eat chocolate all day while watching daytime soaps while gossiping with their single mother friends on the phone about how hard their lives are, while the kids are either in school or taking naps or playing in the other room or in their friends'.

Yeah, REAL MIRACLE right there.

Hey, Benny. Y’know, there’s this thing called “the edit button.” You could have gone into your OP and changed it. Then you would not have looked like a premature-enthusiastic dumb ass for celebrating a crap movie before you’ve finished actually, you know, SEEING IT.

Seems like the thread start only tuned in just to see Bruce goof around with the godly powers, than got bored when reality started to come crashing in on the character of why a person shouldn't have those powers. Oh well. Can't please everybody.

Anyway I give the whole movie a 8 out of 10.

I still love watching it, even over a decade later :D "Evan Almighty" was good too, though it was geared more towards kids than adults.
