Oh, God!

Well there’s a supermarket manager who speaks British

George Burns was a wonderful funny-man! This movie is utterly delightful. John Denver is surprisingly quite competent. I remember this movie well and fondly. Well-worth seeing!

How dare you say that about John he did great and so did burns

It's a playful look on how God would interact with man, at times captivating but mostly absurd especially when it comes to big questions, such as "Why is there suffering," and so on. Love George Burns, but can't figure out why John Denver (aka cousin Oliver from the Brady Bunch) was cast with Teri Garr? A great concept for a movie if there was some intelligence behind it, but hey, it's a Carl Reiner film.

Oh, God! is the kind of enjoyable film that doesn't dominate the Top Ten lists, but is a cozy little pleasure you indulge in from time to time. The main attraction here is George Burns, whose affable persona and friendly demeanor makes you wish he really WAS God. The movie itself is similarly inoffensive, raising some affirmative ideas on the nature of man and the divinity while going out of its way to avoid offending anyone. If there is one big flaw in the movie, it's that the first two-thirds of it putters at a very casual pace, focusing a bit too much on John Denver's struggles than anything else. But the reward for your patience comes in the last act, a memorable conclusion which reaffirms the promise that things CAN work out if everyone puts a little faith in each other...

These "Oh God" films were all bad. But John Denver had NO acting ability. And the script was horrible. George Burns was boring.

Great film, but I never understood why Donald Pleasance got such a high billing in the credits since he appears in only a couple of scenes as a rather minor character.

This movie is so warm and heart felt and cute and fun! It provides a comforting message to life. Watch it, you will feel so good. The court room at the end has the best quote. It makes you believe in your dreams and a better way. "No matter how hopeless, helpless, mixed up and scary it all gets... It can work." :)
