Description
Suppose God personally chose you to spread His message to all humankind. That's what happens to supermarket manager John Denver in a graceful comedy blessed by George Burns in his best-loved role.
Amazon.com
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

 Wonderful film August 30, 2008
I've always enjoyed this film but never got around to buying it until now. George Burns' performance is excellent - humorous but with a point.
An Oldie But Goodie August 17, 2008
I haven't viewed this yet, although I saw the movie years ago. I'll be sharing this DVD when my grand daughter comes to visit.
A great message.... June 19, 2008
It is a great story. Carl Reiner was truly inspired when he did this film. Seeing it make one feel good about the world and himself, great message.
Choosing a fragile old man to play God was a great idea! The lines in this film deserves to be thought about.
Denver plays the man that was picked by God to deliver His message to mankind today. The great thing is that his character is a very good example of a simple man carrying God's flag. His main concern is the task at hand, to deliver God's message.
The film message is quite current.
