The likable George Burns is easy to take in such a ridiculous role.

| Original Score: C | Aug 9, 2024

The picture leaves you feeling good, the way movies used to; and it's less likely to send you running to the nearest church than to make you throw your popcorn box in a trash receptacle instead of leaving it on the floor.

The film's success is due to its sincerity, eschewing the sort of tasteless and cynical jokes that such a project would naturally attract.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 17, 2021

...an oddball premise that's employed to watchable yet entirely forgettable effect...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 10, 2021

Warm-hearted '70s comic fantasy has positive messages.

Reiner does one of his best directing jobs and never resorts to some of the silliness he's demonstrated in other films. Denver is very affable and could have had a good movie career given the right material.

The result plays like an over-extended version of the Reiner/Mel Brooks 2000-Year-Old Man sketches.

Burns is the Lord, Denver is a store clerk. Yet it all works, thank God.

An uneasy amalgam or inconsistent attitudes, without enough humor or zaniness to divert attention from its questionable premise.

Carl Reiner's Oh, God! is a treasure of a movie: A sly, civilized, quietly funny speculation on what might happen if God endeavored to present himself in the flesh yet once again to forgetful Man.

This wonderful comedy salutes human responsibility for making the world a better place and takes justifiable pot-shots at holier-than-thou hotshots.

Somewhere deep down, I think we all hope that God turns out to be like George Burns.
