Tom Turner is a con man, defrauding people from their money with a variety of two-bit hustles. One night he makes the mistake of attempting to hustle some undercover cops, and finds himself in court faced with the dilemma of either going to jail or getting a real job. Choosing to stay out of jail, he gets a job at the post office working in their Dead Letter Office helping to sort Dead Letters (i.e. mail which, for whatever reason, can't be delivered). Some of the mail he recieves can't be delivered because it's addressed to God, and he accidentally answers (sending them money in the process). This starts the ball rolling as more of his co-workers get in on the idea of helping people by answering "God" mail.
Leave your thoughts about Dear God.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatIn its own light-hearted way makes a good case for the spiritual benefits of service. |
| USA TodaySusan WloszczynaThough aspiring to Capraesque whimsy, Dear God feels and looks like a faded rerun of Marshall's Happy Days. |
| Boston PhoenixChris WrightThe title should be spoken with a grave shake of the head. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksIt is a demonstration that Garry Marshall should retire from directing. |
| CinematterMadeleine WilliamsThis lightweight comedy is so deathly earnest it forgot the humor. |
| Town Talk (Alexandria, LA)Andrew GriffinThis shows Greg Kinnear at his most forced. Director Garry Marshall should've given Kinnear and the other actors more depth before taking it to the silver screen. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliA sickeningly bad pastiche of much better pictures. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt is a limp, lifeless story starring Greg Kinnear as a con man who becomes a do-gooder, and one of its many problems is that he was a lot more entertaining as a con man. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc Savlov[An] embarrassingly heavy-handed descent into the nightmarish maelstrom of feel-good cinema that comes on stronger than a speed-crazed pitbull with its tail on fire. |
| VarietyLeonard KladyIt unfortunately has an unfinished quality, and plays very much like a good first draft for a much better movie than the one on view. |
