Plot Summary

Upon realizing that humanity has largely ignored God's previous message, God decides to send His son back to Earth. However, instead of a divine revelation, a young man named Billy Goldberg is chosen for the task. Billy must convince the world that he is indeed the Son of God, facing skepticism and disbelief from religious leaders and the public alike. He finds an unlikely ally in a television executive who helps him spread his message through the media.

The sequel to the popular 'Oh, God!' received a mixed to negative reception from critics and audiences. While George Burns's return as God was often cited as a positive, the film was generally seen as less original and compelling than its predecessor.
