Luke L Oct 9, 2018 A classic! I hate to call a movie "cute", but that's what this enjoyable folly is- and that's a good thing. John Denver delivers a surprisingly rock-solid performance in his acting debut, and George burns is just about the best "God" you could cast. I just watched this again with my 13 and 17 year old kids (their first time) and they loved it. Bravo! See more

Draco G Apr 14, 2018 This is a very good comedy that I haven't watched in many years. It's about time I started to watch some Godly humor.

Theodore W Oct 24, 2017 A brilliant adaptation of "what if!". God chooses a rather humdrum person who, once convinced of the authenticity, will not stop in sharing the good news. And the core of that good news is that we have everything we need to make life on earth pleasant and rewarding. Use the resources wisely - and be aware that the free will granted us can destroy this paradise planet if we unwisely choose to ignore God's will. Mr. Burns played the part to near perfection.

Abraham R Feb 28, 2017 You certainly don't need to be a believer to enjoy this charming film; I'm an atheist and always have. John Denver gives a nice performance as the forthright and altruistic groceryman who is called upon by God to deliver His message, and an 81-year-old George Burns is perfect in the role of the Almighty. The film delivers what I think is appropriate criticism of organized religion, distinguishing it from faith, and Paul Sorvino is great (though a little over-the-top) as a southern televangelist. I also liked the Deist position it takes, that God created the world but it's up to mankind to make of it what it will, and that kindness and brotherhood are more important than dogma. The film doesn't try to answer all of the unanswerable questions, but it does take a pretty good crack at a lot of the big ones (Q: 'Why does God allow all the suffering in the world', A: 'I don't permit it, you do. Free will: all the choices are yours.' Q: 'Was Jesus Christ your son?' A: 'Jesus was my son. Buddha was my son. Muhammad, Moses, you, the man who said there was no room at the inn was my son.' Q: 'Which of the world's religions is closest to the divine truth?' A: 'The divine truth is not in a building or a book or a story. Put down the heart is the temple where all truth resides.') This is not a fire and brimstone God, or one bent on vengeance, hell, and eternal agony for sinners and nonbelievers; this is an informal, simple, and gentle God. How refreshing, and how enlightened.

Theodore W Oct 7, 2007 Warm-hearted '70s comic fantasy has positive messages.
