Evan Almighty is a 2007 American comedy film and sequel to Bruce Almighty (2003), directed by Tom Shadyac, and starring Steve Carell, reprising his role as Evan Baxter, with Morgan Freeman also reprising his role as God. The film follows Evan, now a newly elected congressman, as he is tasked by God to build an ark in preparation for a flood.

Upon release, the film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised Carell's performance but criticized the film's plot, direction, and lack of humor compared to its predecessor. The film was also a box office disappointment, grossing $173 million worldwide against a $175 million budget, making it one of the most expensive comedies ever made.

Despite its poor critical and commercial performance, Evan Almighty was nominated for multiple awards, including the ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards and the Kids' Choice Awards. The film's environmental themes and message of faith and family were praised by some critics, while others felt that the film was heavy-handed in its execution. The film has since gained a cult following and is often cited as an example of a big-budget Hollywood comedy that failed to connect with audiences.
