We went to see the movie, "Evan Almighty" last evening. It is a modern day parody of the Noah's Ark story. It has been promoted as a family film even adults will enjoy and we did. Steve Carrell is a busy father/husband who is visited by God in the form of Morgan Freeman. If you saw the movie, "Oh, God" with John Denver and George Burns years ago, it is similar to that. The dogma is not perfect but it gets across a sweet story.
Part way into the movie we got the giggles. I try to observe movie etiquette and not talk during films, but I couldn't resist leaning over to say something to Jon. God has called all the animals two by two to follow the main character. Steve Carrell is sitting on a couch with an aquarium behind him and all the tropical fish move with his movements to follow him. Animal magnetism you could call it. I wanted to whisper to Jon, "Like you with the cows", but he beat me to it and said, " Yeah, I know. The cows." Then we both giggled. Dr. Jon Doolittle lives, or maybe . Jon of Ark. Cute movie.
