July - Year One a disappointment of biblical proportions

TWO YEARS ago, we had the PG-rated, family-friendly, sort-of-biblical comedy Evan Almighty.

While the movie was not directly based on the Bible, per se, it did take several key elements from the Noah’s Ark story and set them in the present day.
