Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie when Evan and God are talking under a tree in a field, God is holding a wooden staff. As the camera cuts back and forth between Evan and God, God's hand changes position from holding the top of the staff like a cane to holding the staff further down like a walking stick.
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)"

Rita: The way things are going, if he gets any crazier, we might end up in the White House.
Trivia: The book Evan gets his instructions from (Ark Building For Dummies) is an actual book which has been published! Mainly as a joke.
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.
