When God appears to an assistant grocery manager as a good-natured old man, the Almighty selects him as His messenger to the modern world.
Where to Watch Oh, God!
- A Noel RosadoJune 3, 2026This film is a fond piece of my childhood memories, and revisiting it is always a treat. George Burns is perfectly cast as the Almighty—bringing a sharp, dry wit to the role that is impossible not to love. John Denver balances him out beautifully with an incredibly charming, earnest performance as the straight man. It is a wonderfully simple, lighthearted comedy that holds up remarkably well. I really enjoyed this small gem of a movie.
