Oh, God! Book II

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.

i didn't like this movie as much as the first one.i found it too slow.plus,the story was almost a carbon copy of the first one.different characters,and slightly different details,but the general story was the same.so the predictability of it made it tedious.on the plus side,there were some funny moments though.and i've seen many worse movies.i just had higher expectations given that the first movie was as good as it was.if they had just done something different with the concept instead of just copying the first movie,the result would probably have been better.but hey, that's just my opinion.for me,Oh, God! Book II is a 5/10

This is a cutesy little family film with its heart in the right place. Nothing more. If God thinks things on Earth were screwed up in 1980, what would he possibly think now? Are these rising gas prices his way of getting our attention these days? This film is a sequel to film in which God (George Burns) apparently used John Denver to help spread his message. I guess it either didn't work, or so many people were afraid of Denver's singing that they didn't want to tune in and find out. In this film, God picks a young girl named Tracy to come up with a slogan that could get people to think about him once again. Being as her father is in advertising, she would seem to be a good fit. But then why wouldn't God just pick him to do it? Well, you see it's because kids are cuter when they are out spreading a slogan like "Think God". In no time Tracy and her friends have plastered or written the message in chalk all over their L.A. neighborhood. Needless to say, the school board types are not amused. And if any kid tried this today.... sheesh! Who would show up to protest first? Probably the ACLU, followed by Michael Moore. Anyway, Tracy's troubles are just getting started.

God sure doesn't make this easy on her! Not only is it tough to think of a good slogan, but he also talks to her where others can see. Of course they cannot also see God, so they all think Tracy is talking to herself and losing her mind. Also, her school work suffers. God does at least help her with her math, and he admits he made mathematics too hard. I agree. Tracy is eventually expelled from school, picked apart by doctors, and has her life turned inside out. But she is doing God a favor, so I guess its worth it. There is also a small subplot about Tracy's separated parents reconciling after a few jokes about the big breasts of her father's new girlfriend. The acting is good enough. Burns plays essentially himself which is charming as expected. Louanne, who plays Tracy isn't as annoying as most child actors. The parents are good enough. The film delivers about what you'd expect. Its passable family viewing, but atheists should steer clear. 7 of 10 stars.

The Hound.

The long and short of it: This is a soft reboot of 1977's 'Oh, God!' movie, an almost beat for beat remake of a better movie. I suggest you skip this movie and go straight to "Oh, God! You Devil!", despite it being a lower rated movie, at least it has a new spin on an old IP.

Oh God! Book II is not really a sequel to the first film, as you might think. While George Burns returns as God, the events of the first film are not referenced at all. This is more of a remake of the first film....only three years later.....the plot is nearly identical, right down to the climax, but with a little girl taking over John Denver's old role.

While not a turkey, this film is disappointing, compared to the first one which was excellent. There are no new ideas that weren't used the first time, and for a "light-hearted" film, it is difficult to watch the persecution the child endures for standing up for God. Some of the supporting roles are interestingly cast, but these talented actors are given precious little to do.

I can understand George Burns wanting to return to the role of God, since the first one was so successful for him, but he should have held out for a better script.
