Part of the Oh, God! Collection

Oh, God! is a 1977 comedy film starring George Burns and John Denver. Based on a novel by Avery Corman, the film was directed by Carl Reiner from a screenplay written by Larry Gelbart. The story centers on unassuming supermarket manager Jerry Landers (Denver), chosen by God (Burns) to spread his message despite the skepticism of the media, religious authorities, and Landers' own wife (Teri Garr). The film inspired two sequels, Oh, God! Book II (1980) and Oh, God! You Devil (1984), both of which featured Burns reprising his role, but with no other recurring characters from the original story.

_**Cute sequel, but not as good as the original movie**_

God (George Burns) manifests to a little girl in Los Angeles (Louanne) whose well-to-do parents are separated (Suzanne Pleshette & David Birney). It appears the LORD wants to use her for advertising.

“Oh, God! Book II” (1980) lacks the novelty of the original 1977 film and is underwhelming, marred by a sitcomy vibe, but it’s also cute and kinda heartwarming. It’s more of a drama with amusing touches than a comedy. In other words, what would REALLY happen if the Creator started appearing to a girl in Los Angeles?

‘God’ does have a few nuggets to share but, to be expected, there’s some political correctness not in keeping with biblical Christianity. The filmmakers naturally wouldn’t want to offend their potential viewers. Meanwhile Suzanne is winsome as usual and Birney is convincing as the likable father.

The movie runs 1 hour, 33 minutes and was shot in Los Angeles.
