Steve Carell as Evan gasping behind the wheel of his car in Evan Almighty
The Steve Carell movie Evan Almighty was at one time the most expensive comedy movie ever, in addition to being an enormous box office bomb. The 2007 movie was a sequel to 2003's Bruce Almighty, which starred Jim Carrey in the title role.
Evan Almighty Had A Colossal Budget Of Around $175 Million The Movie's Break-Even Point Was Impossibly High Close The sequel to the Jim Carrey and Steve Carell collaboration likely seemed like a viable financial prospect because Carell had just scored major hits with The Office and 2005's The 40-Year-Old Virgin. This may have led to the movie getting its $175 million production budget, making it the most expensive comedy ever at the time.
Why Steve Carell’s Evan Almighty Was So Poorly Received The Movie Was Compared Negatively To Bruce Almighty Evan Almighty proved to be a hit with neither critics nor audiences and currently holds Rotten Tomatoes scores of 24% and 52% with both groups respectively. Many reviews agree that the movie is a waste of Carell and the rest of its ensemble cast, hiding unfunny jokes behind an excess of over-the-top special effects.
