Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine - Staff (Not Credited)

It's light, mostly amusing, and better than the second Burns-God film, but not as good as the first. Read full review

The Associated Press - Bob Thomas

An extremely pleasant, supernatural comedy. [12 Nov 1984]

Variety - Staff (Not Credited)

The story didn’t need to get this involved and it winds up constantly trying to pull the picture apart, working against the comedy. Read full review

The New York Times - Janet Maslin

The material is extremely slight, but at least it's benign. Read full review

Miami Herald - Bill Cosford

George Burns gets to play both sides of the cosmic fence in Oh God! You Devil, which is actually Oh God! III, and it's this device alone that saves the film, which might otherwise be unbearably cute. [12 Nov 1984, p.C1]

Washington Post - Paul Attanasio

The movie is full of half-witted Hollywood satire (the Devil's an agent -- get it?), lame wordplay, and easy moralism about family being more important than career blah blah blah. [09 Nov 1984, p.F8]

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Matthew Fraser

Burns does make an appearance as God to give his fiendish lookalike the get-thee-hence treatment, but not even a miracle could save Oh God! You Devil. [10 Nov 1984]
