Editorial Review:
Carl Reiner directed this sweet comedy about the Man Upstairs visiting Earth in the form of a funny little guy (George Burns). John Denver is the good man chosen to be God's contact in the modern age--and like an Old Testament prophet, Denver's character pays the price by being ridiculed and faced with criminal charges. Denver is a warm presence, but the film is entirely in Burns's court. Reiner feeds him lines that come out of Burns' mouth like stage patter, and it's no wonder he got a huge career boost from this film in the winter of his life. Except for some courtroom stuff in the third act--where Reiner inadvertently cheapens the movie with editing tricks to suggest "miracles"--Oh, God! is just fine. (It's certainly better than its two perfunctory sequels, Oh God! Book II and Oh God! You Devil.) --Tom Keogh

Rating: - When movies were movies!
This is a great movie. It is a wholesome movie from back when making movies then you got a decent show. 50% of todays movies are garbage...but at least the oldies but goodies still exist.

Rating: - George Burns' higher calling
Looking at this film today, "Oh God" seems pretty dated in appearance, but its messages are universal. George Burns continues his motion picture comeback with this whimsical comedy that has much to say about life in general: religion, the problems in the world, and just plain believing.
John Denver takes a shot at acting as the film's honest, decent everyman who is chosen by the Almighty to be the next messenger. While Denver handles his role competently & sympathetically--and has pleasing ... Read More
