Evan Almighty

Movie Available now

Steve Carell stars as former newscaster Evan, who wins a seat in congress—and then receives an even higher calling. God (Morgan Freeman) chooses him to become a modern-day Noah and build an ark (the long hair, beard, and flowing robes are just a few perks of his new gig). Gilmore Girls’ Lauren Graham is along for the ride as Evan’s wife, who has to take her own leap of faith with him.

Wish I Was Here

Life comes at struggling actor Aidan Bloom (Zach Braff) fast when his financial situation changes and he must home-school his two kids. Years of relying on his father to pay for their pricey education, while Aidan’s wife Sarah (Kate Hudson) works, has left him unprepared for 24/7 family time. Of course, he’s about to get a lesson of his own and learn what really matters.

But their real mission is to save the two women (June Diane Raphael and Juno Temple) they love.
