Line 3: The sequel to ''[[Bruce Almighty]]'', spoofing the biblical story of The Flood and Noah's ark. Evan Baxter (Bruce's rival from the first film) becomes a congressman and moves to Washington D.C. where God forces him to become the next Noah, presumably to save people (and animals) from the next Flood. This causes people, even his family, to think he's going crazy. {{tropelist}} * [[A Worldwide Punomenon\|Ark]] [[Arc Words\|Words]]: "One '''a'''ct of '''r'''andom '''k'''indness at a time." Line 9 ⟶ 10: * [[Continuity Nod]]: Susan Ortega (Catherine Bell), the sexy co-anchor from the first film turns up briefly in the second (besides God and Evan she is the only returning character). * [[Dolled-Up Installment]]: Was not originally written as a sequel to ''Bruce Almighty''. That would explain why the character Evan Baxter has a different personality, and really isn't the [[Jerkass]] he was in the first film, thought Evan did go through character development at the end. * [[Fridge Horror]] / [[No Endor Holocaust]]: Even if we assume that no one got killed during the initial flood, the huge amount property damage, resulting mould and the fact that sources of clean water would be compromised after such disaster make the fact that Evan became marginally better human being not such a great accomplishment as the movie wants us to think. ~~This Cracked article puts it the best~~[https: //web.archive.org/web/20131026015720/http://www.cracked.com/article/165_6-movie-heroes-who-sucked-at-their-jobs_p2/ This] [[Cracked.com]] article puts it the best. * [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: Production on the flood scene became so big that the film turned out to become the most expensive comedy ever produced, all in the name of a five-minute climactic scene that most critics dismissed as not being that convincing or impressive at all. The budget basically ensured the movie was not going to turn a profit at all, moreso once the critical beatdown and middling box office came in. * [[Incredibly Inconvenient Deity]]: Evan grows a beard all of a sudden, is forced to build an ark, and, well, other VERY annoying stuff. * [[No Party Given]]: Evan drives a Hummer and watches [[MSNBC]].
