Synopsis
George Burns is back as God, but oops, here he is as Satan, too. A young rock star is ready to sell his soul to Satan, and Satan is all too happy to oblige. Oops! Seems the fellow was watched over by God as a baby, so now the almighty and his nemesis have to duke it out over the soul.

TV Guide Magazine
It's light, mostly amusing, and better than the second Burns-God film, but not as good as the first. - 75
The Associated Press
An extremely pleasant, supernatural comedy. [12 Nov 1984] - 60
Variety
The story didn’t need to get this involved and it winds up constantly trying to pull the picture apart, working against the comedy. - 50
Miami Herald
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] - 50
The New York Times
The material is extremely slight, but at least it's benign. - 40
Washington Post
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] - 38
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
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]
