This is a hilarious movie. The scene where George Burns shuffles into the courtroom and claims to be God - asked to prove it, he says “pick a card”.
And yes, there are some troubling bits of dialogue, but the concept of the Almighty being portrayed by the 90-something, frail, harmless-looking Burns is just too good. And the overall message - God loves us and wants us to know He is there and doesn’t like false prophets speaking lies in His name - is positive. John Denver as the meek guy chosen to spread the Word is perfect in the role.
The sequels were crap. The original is well worth a watch.
never saw it...thank you for the review
