Factual error: In the final scene where Congress is supposedly passing the bill, they are still in the committee room. Bills are not passed there, but in the actual meeting halls of the House and the Senate.
Evan Almighty (2007)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Tom Shadyac
Starring: Morgan Freeman, John Goodman, Steve Carell, Lauren Graham, Johnny Simmons
Evan (Steve Carell) gets all the animals and all the people nearby on the ark when the water from the dam (that Congressman Long (John Goodman) built) ruptures. The ark makes its way to the Capitol building right in the nick of time before the new law on land and property gets passed. Evan stops Congressman Long and he's arrested. Some time later, Evan is with his family on a hike and talks with God (Morgan Freeman). God tells Evan that by building the ark and uniting people, he changed the world. During the end credits, the cast and crew dance to C+C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)"

More mistakes in Evan Almighty
God: Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?
Trivia: The scene where God appears in the backseat of Evan's car and they are both visible in the rear view mirror, is reminiscent of the movie poster for "Driving Miss Daisy", also starring Morgan Freeman, where Freeman and Jessica Tandy were both visible in the rear view mirror.
Question: How come not a single person saw that Evan managed to "change his clothes" instantly? There were people sat behind him looking straight at him. Wouldn't they see him in his suit one second, blink and then see him in the robes? They all laughed and thought he was crazy but surely they all saw him come in wearing the suit and it's not like you could miss someone getting changed.

Answer: God wanted to see what he wanted them to see, to believe in something you can't believe requires faith.
