Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Great Film overall
It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
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.
Hey, it is the kid critic and now I am reviewing Oh God! Book II. This movie is OK, but, while watching it I kept on forgetting that it is a Oh God! Picture. This one is actually more of a kids movie then Book I. in my opinion. I think that in a way the film could have been called Tracy and God. It is not as fresh as Oh God! but it is OK. It is funny but not as funny as Book I. But it does not deserve all of the bad reviews. I think that the people who went to go see this in 1980 were expecting the 39th anniversary of Citizen Kane or the 8th anniversary of The Godfather or the 6th anniversary of The Godfather Part II. In the trailer, God said that Oh God! Book II has just as many laughs as the first one. It does have some laughs but not as much as the first one. Well check this out. Do not expect The Godfather Part 2(which I have never seen) right before you watch this. Well, good luck. My overall rating is 6 out of 10 angels.
***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.
The movie is about a kid who meets God in a restaurant.He tells her to think of something to make more people want to believe in God and all that junk.Well the kid and her friend think of something and come up with the slogan Think God.The write it all over the place.As soon is this goes out everyone thinks she is crazy.So they suspend her from school.And all she wanted to do was help God.So they plan to but her in a camp for "insane" kids.She needs help from God.She runs away from home.And God comes and brings her back home on a motorcycle. So at the meeting.To decide what to do with her.God shows everybody to have a little faith.That was a good movie like I said for kids and adults.
