Oh, God! (1977) starring George Burns, John Denver, Teri Garr, Paul Sorvino. Directed by Carl Reiner, who also appears in a small role. God, in the person of Burns, comes down to Earth to tell grocery store manager Jerry (Denver) to deliver his message to the world. But of course nobody believes Jerry, not even his wife Bobbie (Garr). Nobody believes him, that is, until he appears on the Dinah Shore show. The movie manages to take a light-hearted look at a serious subject, and in some way it's comfort food for the mind. A very young-looking Sorvino has a delicious role as an evangelical preacher. The subtitles are good. Grade: B+
