Movie Reviews of Oh, God!
Movie Review: God in Plain Clothes
Summary: 5 Stars
Great flick - the definition of charming. Denver is unassuming, down-to-earth and excellent in the role of Jerry Landers. And Burns is great, of course, with many memorable lines. I love it when he's answering questions (in the hotel room) that the religious council has written out for John Denver to ask him - their task of 'proof' - all the questions are written in ancient Ayrmaic (or however it's spelt). Burns (as God in plain clothes) reads:
"Which of the world's religions is the closest to the divine truth?"
He answers himself (as Denver writes): "The divine truth is not in a building or a book or a story. Put down that the heart is the temple wherein all truth resides."
He goes on to answer other questions such as "What is the meaning of man's existence?" I'm not giving the answer away ;) but later he says,
"No, I better not go for laughs. You know Voltaire may have had me pegged right? He said I was a comedian playing to an audience who's afraid to laugh."
During the commentary with Terri Garr, Screen writer Larry Gelbart, and Director Carl Reiner one of the speakers says "In real truth, I wish we had asked God some tougher questions. I think we let Him off kind of easy (capital H of course)."
It's fun to listen to the insightful and entertaining commentary afterwards ("Maybe there IS a George Burns.."). The movie is not likely to answer all your spiritual questions, though it'll likely raise a few. All in a spirit of good fun though. Denver and Burns are fantastic.
"Your Honor, I would like to call to the stand.. the Lord God."
Summary of Oh, God!
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.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
