Evan Almighty (2007)

5 trivia entries

★★★★☆

Starring: Morgan Freeman, John Goodman, Steve Carell, Lauren Graham, Johnny Simmons

Trivia: The book Evan gets his instructions from (Ark Building For Dummies) is an actual book which has been published! Mainly as a joke.

Trivia: There are multiple scenes in the movie showing the ark being built, and standing on land waiting for the flood. All of these shots of the ark before the flood was a real, life-size ark, built for this movie.

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.

Jeff Swanson

Trivia: There are several biblical mentions in this movie if you look (The 40 Year Old Virgin Mary, Eve Adams, etc.).

Jack Kaltenbach

Trivia: 'The 40 Year Old Virgin Mary' is a reference to Steve Carrell's previous role in 'The 40 Year Old Virgin'.

Mistakes

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.

Quotes

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?

Questions

Question: Can anyone tell me where to find a list of ALL the music used in the movie? I'm looking for stuff that's NOT on the soundtrack.

Answer: All the music is listed in the ending credits of the movie.

Answer: When using IMDB, make sure you are using the "full site" and not the mobile version. At the top, above the movie/show title, click "more." Under "did you know?" click "soundtracks" (this list all the recorded songs used in the film, not just the songs on the soundtrack album). However, it often does not include incidental music, which is the background music or song created just for the film to create a mood, tone, or theme. Although often theme music that is later recorded and released will be listed on IMDB's page even though they didn't appear in the original credits, the same way (uncredited) actors are listed on the site.

Answer: You can also find the titles of the songs at IMDB. An online movie database.
