Of the creative people who brought us Oh God only George Burns returns for the sequel. Larry Gelbart's adopted script which got an Oscar nominations was a very profound statement on the human condition. This one is a nice PG rated kids film with the Deity himself now using a little girl played by Louanne to spread His word with the good advertising training her father David Birney has given her.Starting with her schoolmates she gets them to graffiti the world with 'Think God' and the simple idea spreads. The best ideas are often the most simple ones. Burns puts Louanne in some heavy company with people like Socrates, Gandhi, Lincoln and Martin Luther King. Her sanity is questioned and like John Denver in the original who went before a select group of theologians Louanne's very future at stake.This is a pleasant remake of a real classic. Burns is as droll as ever. Suzanne Pleshette is fine as Louanne's mother. But it's just a pale imitation of the first.

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...

George Burns returns as the joshing Almighty after enjoying a big success with 1977's "Oh, God!", an upbeat fantasy made successful by a sudden need in the 1970s to switch from devil-driven thrillers to comedic redemption (although it made money, the original was more in line with the "Topper" comedies of the '30s than a return to feel-good religious cinema). Here, God appears to a young girl (Louanne, who had earlier starred in a stage production of "Annie") and asks her to spread his Divine Word, causing her nothing but trouble from grown-ups in the process. Peculiar, family-oriented film appears to be warm-hearted enough, and Burns gets to chime in with a nice barrage of wry jibes, but the writing is half-slapstick and half-seriousness. The adults of the piece actually consider locking little Louanne up, all of which makes God seem more like a troublemaker than an elderly friend. Louanne is another problem: a perky kid with wizened little eyes, she is untrained for screen-acting and occasionally seems awkward. The medium-budget production has a gloppy, TV-movie appearance, with few graceful touches. The final scene mimics the climax of the first "Oh, God!" in that it brings a wistful sentiment to the mix, which is welcomed. It's the most subtle moment in the movie. ** from ****

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Just laugh out loud funny. Yeah, right. Although I, myself, am not a christian, I know enough about Christianity to know this film is a mockery of that religion. It's basically about a girl who is told by God to "advertise" him... so that everyone will be Christian... The whole point of christianity is free will and you can choose to be christian if you want to. If God wanted everyone to be Christian, he would make them be Christian. Anyways, the Prinicipal of the girl's school, who is the antagonist, suspends her. I say she should be suspended. She was putting up signs everywhere with the message "Think God." all over the school, and everyone magically became christian, and whenever someone tried to stop the girl because they were of a different faith, they were portrayed as evil crazies. The girl's parents take her to a psychiatrist when she tells them she "sees" God in restraunts and in her bedroom. Apparently the writer knew about as much about Christianity as they did therapy. The psychiatrist puts the girl through catscans, x-rays, blood tests, lie detector tests, and any other thing you can think of... this is ludicrous. Why would they give her physical tests?! They would just talk to her or something! Anyways, they decide to send her to a nut house because she has an imaginary friend. She runs away and God takes her home on a motorcycle. Then he shows up at her insanity hearing or whatever and preforms a few miracles, and everyone say "Oh, wow, well, you can go! No questions asked!" And her seperated parents get backed together and God disappears. It was hilarious in all the wrong places.
