Oh, God! (1977)

Member Rating:  
Adapted by Larry Gelbart from the novel by Avery Corman, the film stars John Denver as Jerry Landers, the assistant manager of a grocery store who is chosen by God (George Burns) to spread the Word to the rest of the world. Not surprisingly, Jerry is soon labelled a basket case: even his loving wife Bobbie (Teri Garr) doubts her husband's sanity. But there's enough evidence on Jerry's side for a panel of prominent clerics to demand that the hapless fellow prove in court that he's the agent of God. Donald Pleasence was supposed to have an extended supporting role in the film, but the first cut ran too long, and Pleasence's dialogue was eliminated -- but not Pleasence himself, who retains his prominent billing and is seen doing precisely nothing in several scenes. Netting $30 million on its first run, Oh God was followed by two lesser sequels, both featuring Burns. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Not bad ! John Denver actually is pretty good in this movie !! Teri Garr is wonderful - but George Burns STEALS this movie. I didn't care for the "new-age God" philosophy that Burns later gives to John Denver...but pretty entertaining.

I remember seeing this at the theater with my mom in 1977 - I was 10 years old. I have very fond memories of this movie as a child. I look forward to seeing it as an adult with my now 10 year old daughter to get the adult perspective.

I found both O, GOD and O, God 2 to be the most prophetic movies I have ever seen! No one could have played the part of God any better than George . This is a movie everyone should watch with their families and listen to what was said in both movies. He gave us everything we need; all we have to do is take care of it and each other!

Entertaining, funny, maybe a little trite, but George Burns is irresistible as God. The message is simple- treat each other better, we are ALL children of God.

I was skeptical at first because I did not want to be offended (especially with George Burns) but I was very touched and moved by this movie. What a powerful message that still holds true today. I would watch this again.

I loved it. I saw it first years ago when it came out. I'd forgotten how poignient it is!!! I don't know why John Dever never did more acting as I think he was wonderful in this film, as was George Burns, of course.

This is a very funny movie with a very nice message. Mature fun that pokes at all religions transcending religious boundaries. It laughs at the face of those pontiffs who claim God as if they own/know every thing about God. And it pretty much shows the simple truth most eastern religions teach. As for those rules in the books, it exposes them for what they are. Very entertaining. Even very good for children.
