About this movie

In this boxoffice comedy smash, God (played by the one and only George Burns) comes to Earth to spread the Good Word, but has a hard time convincing his chosen messenger, John Denver, an assistant manager of a supermarket, who He really is. Denver must in turn prove it to his disbelieving family as well as the rest of the world in this wonderfully delightful family classic. Co-starring Academy Award-nominees Teri Garr ("Tootsie," "Young Frankenstein") and Ralph Bellamy ("War & Remembrance"), Paul Sorvino ("GoodFellas"), Donald Pleasance ("Halloween" series) and songstress Dinah Shore. An Oscar nominee for the screenplay by Larry Gelbart ("Tootsie"), directed by Carl Reiner ("The Man with Two Brains"). MPAA Rating: NOTRATED © 1977 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. All Rights Reserved

I sincerely hope that John Denver is still talking to God right now! RIP. (And George Burns as well.. Say Good Night)

This movie made me laugh, then it made me cry. I was just becoming an adult, and questioning my faith. Because of this movie, I had a spiritual journey that led me to the church I belong to now.

This is dated, hammy, & a few other less than highly complimentary adjectives, but it is still a fantastic film & has a great story that is funny as all get out.
