This was an okay film, but the story was rather lackluster, and it's way too kid-friendly. And while the big budget effects are nice and the built-on-set ark is quite impressive, it suffers from an attempt to turn Carrell into a kid-friendly comedian, a mistake that he would later make when he played one of the main characters in Horten Hears a Who. It wouldn't be the first time an inappropriate comedian was in a kids movie, though: Will Ferrell in the Curious George movie, Adam Sandler in Bedtime Stories, and George Carlin narrating some episodes of Thomas and Friends. This is mildly funny, but rather bland.
