This film is set after the events of "Bruce Almighty" (2003). Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) isn't working for Buffalo TV anymore, but is now a congressman at Washington D.C. He is contacted by God (Morgan Freeman) who warns him of a flood. He instructs Evan to construct an ark, which after much self debate he decides to do. Once given this task, animals are constantly following him. Many people, as well as news reporters are attracted to the scene as he constructs the ark. The flood doesn't come from a heavy rainfall, but from a cheaply built dam.

The main point of this movie is to educate younger people on the story of Noah's ark. This is done through advertising to younger audiences. The humour also appeals to them by silly things happening, such as the bird's pooing on people, and during the construction scene, injuries and Steve Carell style obscenities (such as the waxing scene in "The 40 Year Old Virgin".

There is also humour for adult audiences. He tries to shaveoff his beard, but it instantly grows back, he refers to this as adult puberty'. He is also instructed to wear a robe, when he doesn't and wears a suit, the suit disappears leaving him naked in the street.

The film isn't all humour, there are a few serious sections between Evan and his wife (Lauren Graham). This addresses how some families can have problems, and may lead to children understanding these problems. These problems are sorted out at the end, and leaves a sense of a family connection. This may also have an effect on children who run riot, not listening to their parents, and make them settle down.

Overall I feel this is a good film which appeals to both younger and older audiences alike. Definitely worth a watch.
