norman-bloom I just watched this movie here on late night TV. I saw the first OH GOD movie and thought I did like it better. But the second one was quite good with a different cast. There is a message here in these Oh GOd movies.I know it is hard to tell anyone you have spoken to GOD as Tracy did in this movie. George Burns is well played in his roll as GOD and why not, he,s perfect for the part of GOD. He is a legend that goes back way before these actors. The message is to have faith and believe. There has't been a movie like this. Now a days there is too much violence shown with no dialogue like this movie. I did like it and felt sad that GOD left. But their is hope.

AaronCapenBanner Disappointing sequel has George Burns returning as the big G, but not John Denver(much missed here). Instead, it has young actress Louanne playing a little girl who is supposed to spread the word about God, but meets much resistance from disbelieving adults.Pity this film is so predictable and unconvincing, despite Burn's best efforts, the script is weak, providing few laughs, and little insight. This story was covered far more effectively in the original, and this plays less like "Book II/Part II" than it does a failed pilot to a proposed TV series.There was a third film, which I haven't seen("Oh God! You Devil") Don't plan on seeing it either.First film was definitive, and near perfect; the studio should have left well enough alone...

epatters-3 Hey, it is the kid critic and now I am reviewing Oh God! Book II. This movie is OK, but, while watching it I kept on forgetting that it is a Oh God! Picture. This one is actually more of a kids movie then Book I. in my opinion. I think that in a way the film could have been called Tracy and God. It is not as fresh as Oh God! but it is OK. It is funny but not as funny as Book I. But it does not deserve all of the bad reviews. I think that the people who went to go see this in 1980 were expecting the 39th anniversary of Citizen Kane or the 8th anniversary of The Godfather or the 6th anniversary of The Godfather Part II. In the trailer, God said that Oh God! Book II has just as many laughs as the first one. It does have some laughs but not as much as the first one. Well check this out. Do not expect The Godfather Part 2(which I have never seen) right before you watch this. Well, good luck. My overall rating is 6 out of 10 angels.

dtucker86 All throughout history since time immemorial, there has been a conflict between religion and science (or I guess I should say between church and state). People who read the Bible believe in God and accept him and his teachings as a matter of simple Christian Faith. However, the scientists say "We need proof that we can put under our microscopes". I think it took a lot of courage for Hollywood to make the "Oh God" series and I thank them for it. George Burns and John Denver were wonderful in the original. It was one of the first movies that I saw as a kid and I couldn't think of a better one. George took the role of God very seriously, he even consulted with Jimmy Stewart and Orson Welles before he played it can you believe that? He asked them how you would play God (Orson Welles told him "I would play him sitting down"). This is a wonderful sequel. You might ask why God would come down to earth again, well when he did before he made the studio so much money thats why? A young actress with only one screen name Louanne takes John Denver's place in the film and she does a wonderful job. She was such a good little actress that I always wondered what happened to her. I'll bet she and George had a ball making this film, it shows in the finished product and there is wonderful "chemistry" between them. It kind of chilled me when they thought the little girl was crazy for talking to God and wanted to put her in an insane asylum. It chilled me and it also made me very angry at a society that is hostile towards religion and God's word. It is almost as if we live in a world that glorifies evil and condemns good. This is a film that is very rare indeed because it is one with a message that makes you think long after the final credits and it is due to George Burn's wonderful performance. This man was an American treasure. What really amazes me is that he didn't act in the traditional sense until he was almost 80 years old and made The Sunshine Boys. As far as I am concerned, all acting students should watch his work in that film and in the Oh God series. They will see a master at work. This is a rare sequel indeed, it is as fine as the original. It will leave you with a sore belly from laughing, but also with a slight lump in your throat.
