Yesterday, I took my kids to see Evan Almighty. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much: a few hours of sitting in a cool place, eating one of my favorite treats...very salty popcorn, and simply being entertained in a very shallow but funny way- is what I expected. What I got instead was one of the most God honoring messages that I've ever seen Hollywood produce.
Honestly, I was moved by this movie. I think it is because it resonates with the passion of my heart to listen to God, do what He says no matter what, and trust Him at all costs with the outcome. There were several times when I wanted a notepad to jot down very profound thoughts and quotes. I'm not kidding! I know the star of this movie jumped into stardom in a role that was less than tasteful... I think the movie was 40 year old virgin. (In all fairness, I never saw that movie and don't know much about it except that I heard it was quite crude in places so I skipped it.) However, I feel certain that everyone that worked on the "Evan Almighty" movie had to be moved by its message somehow.
I would highly recommend this movie as one the whole family should see and then take time to discuss afterwards. Make sure you stay for the very last shots of the crew and the stars from the movie doing what Evan calls, "The Dance." Oh my stars... it is simply hilarious. I can do this dance... no joke... I think I actually look good doing this dance... it embarrasses the stink out of my kids but I just think they are jealous... seriously, I wish I could show you. Maybe one day I'll post a picture...not!
Smiling and thanking God for getting his message out on the Big Screen...
