this movie be a failure a a comedy and a film in general . it be a very slow pace movie that seem to be try to convey a message and but the message be a cliché and hopeless mess to begin with . this movie fall on shameless environmental point and even make a self righteous point of destroy an suv and promote animal planet . in sit through this and i couldn not help but notice that steve carell get no more than a single truly funny line . the only thing that could hypothetically mark this a a comedy be the pitiful attempt to give comic relief line to wanda sykes . her character get frequent and cringe worthy line where they absolutely do not fit . far from the brilliance of bruce almighty and evan almighty blow it whole record break budget on special effect plot device that turn out to barely advance the plot . the movie spend the first half build up to the construction of evan ark and but by the end and we learn that the ark be completely meaningless and and the whole plot be a just a vessel for the stupid gag and even stupid message . the movie conclude when we learn that the whole ark and flood and and animal gathering be just a weak political statement by none other than god . yes and god be try to influence politics .
