Evan Almighty

Cast: Steve Carell, Morgan Freeman, Lauren Graham and John Goodman
Release date: June 22
Why you should see it: Carell reprises his role as Evan Baxter -- the straight and narrow newscaster in Jim Carrey's Bruce Almighty -- who finds himself the next one summoned by God (Freeman). Newly elected to Congress, Evan moves his family to suburban northern Virginia, where his life gets turned upside down when God appears and mysteriously commands him to build an ark. His wife and kids can't decide whether Evan is losing his mind or on the path to some divine intervention.
Box office bottom line: Carell picks up where Carrey left off, without missing a beat. He's a comedic master -- and might even make Evan Almighty a religious experience.
Premiere party pics: Our Hollywood Life reporter was on the green carpet for the premiere of Evan Almighty. She reports on the fashion, baby bumps and, of course, seeing the lovable Steve Carell.
