Review of Oh, God!

Oh, God! (1977)
6/10
A Delightful, Little Comedy
29 April 2015
"Jerry Landers" (John Denver) is a mild-mannered assistant manager at a local grocery store who one night gets a typed letter from "God" (George Burns) to meet him for an interview. Thinking it's all a big joke he throws the letter away and goes to sleep. A few hours later he wakes up and finds the letter under his pillow. Slightly puzzled he tears up the letter and once again discards it. As fate would have it though the letter again appears and so he decides to go to the place specified in order to straighten things out in his mind. But rather than solving anything he finds that his life is about to get even more complicated than ever. Now rather than risk spoiling the movie for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this was a delightful, little comedy which is clearly not meant to be taken too seriously. Certainly, having God appear as an old man with glasses and a baseball hat was definitely amusing. Likewise, I thought Teri Garr (as Jerry's wife "Bobbie") was also a good addition as well as she was absolutely gorgeous. In any case, although this wasn't a "roll-in-the-aisle" type of comedy it was good enough for the time spent and I rate it as slightly above average.
