'Who's this film targeted at?' I mused (it's a film that gives you time to muse). Bible belt families, I think. There's nothing at all subversive about it, Genesis 6:14 with a light comedic dusting. There might have been a veiled message about conservation, and even global warming, but no. The special effects are the whole show.
'Daddy, no one can grow a beard overnight'. It hasn't got that sort of dialogue in it.
To give a clue, there's an incredibly bastardised version of the originally cynical John Lennon / Beatles 'Revolution', which now sounds anodyne and jolly. The film's ending was clearly decided over a particularly thorough lunch.
It's awful, and quite fun for that reason. Steve Carrell, Morgan Freeman (I mean, this is actually offensive to God), Lauren Graham, some elephants, John Goodman, Jonah Hill.
