Oh, God! Book II

And the Lord said: "Let there be another movie." And lo, there was another movie.

God appears before 11-year-old Tracy Richards to ask for her help to spread his word and influence over the world which she suggests the slogan 'Think God.' Naturaly, Tracy's divorced parents think Tracy's crazy, and plot to halt her 'heaven-sent' mission to spread God's word.

_**Cute sequel, but not as good as the original movie**_ God (George Burns) manifests to a little girl in Los Angeles (Louanne) whose well-to-do parents are separated (Suzanne Pleshette & David Birney). It appears the LORD wants to use her for advertising. “Oh, God! Book II” (1980) lacks the novelty of the original 1977 film and is underwhelming, marred by a sitcomy vibe, but it’s also cute and kinda heartwarming. It’s more of a drama with amusing touches than a comedy. In other words, what would REALLY happen if the Creator started appearing to a girl in Los Angeles? ‘God’ does have a few nuggets to share but, to be expected, there’s some political correctness not in keeping with biblical Christianity. The filmmakers naturally wouldn’t want to offend their potential viewers. Meanwhile Suzanne is winsome as usual and Birney is convincing as the likable father. The movie runs 1 hour, 33 minutes and was shot in Los Angeles. GRADE: B-/C+
