Critics Consensus: Oh, God!'s Biblical playfulness makes for more cute farce than divine comedy, but George Burns' sly performance as the Almighty gives this high concept gravitas.

Dennis Schwartz

The likable George Burns is easy to take in such a ridiculous role.

The picture leaves you feeling good, the way movies used to; and it's less likely to send you running to the nearest church than to make you throw your popcorn box in a trash receptacle instead of leaving it on the floor.

The film's success is due to its sincerity, eschewing the sort of tasteless and cynical jokes that such a project would naturally attract.

...an oddball premise that's employed to watchable yet entirely forgettable effect...
