This is a great example of how the secular world would like to picture God, even with concessions to Believers such as, "Yes, God is still alive." Unfortunately, in the name of humor - and it IS funny - they make... Full review

This is a warm, inclusive film. Maybe there's a bit of nostalgia in my comments, but I appreciate this movie's approach to faith. God comes in a form that our modern society seems to enjoy dismissing-- the elderly. It's a delight... Full review

Naturally, Burns plays God and Denver plays the ordinary guy God chooses to spread his Word.
God tells him he chose him because he was average, a little better than most, not as good as others.
has you leaving the film feeling good.

Overall, I still don't think that "Oh, God" is a laugh riot, but it's a likable movie with a nice message and good performances.
This film was a big enough success that it spawned two sequels.
It's a nice message, but a rather simple movie.

Reiner is superb at establishing the right tone for this very difficult material, and the casting of George Burns as God is an inspiration.
Part of the movie's charm is in the way it surprises us by treating its subject matter with affection and respect.
