Oh, God! Book II is a 1980 American comedy film, directed by Gilbert Cates from a script co-written by Josh Greenfeld, Hal Goldman, Fred S. Fox, Seaman Jacobs, and Melissa Miller. The movie is a sequel to Oh, God! (1977) (though the only character returning was George Burns' God character), and was the second of three installments in the Oh, God! film series. Starring George Burns, Louanne Sirota, Suzanne Pleshette, and David Birney, the film also featured cameo appearances by Joyce Brothers and Hugh Downs.

Synopsis

In the second film in the Oh, God! series, God (George Burns) asks the help of 11-year-old Tracy Richards (Louanne Sirota) to help Him promote Himself; He feels that people have forgotten about Him. Tracy and her best friend, Shingo (John Louie), create the slogan "Think God"; they soon have everyone spreading the slogan by posters, graffiti, and a multitude of other ways. Tracy's divorcing parents (played by Suzanne Pleshette and David Birney) find out over a Chinese dinner, and are concerned, whereupon they take their daughter Tracy to a psychiatric center for a battery of tests, worried that their young girl might be mentally or neurologically ill. God is the only one that can straighten out the situation.
