Tom Turner, a con artist, works at a dead letter office and begins to answer the letters from people addressed to God.
Dear God received generally negative reviews from critics. Siskel & Ebert gave the film two thumbs down upon its release.James Berardinelli gave the film one star and explained, "At least after seeing this movie, I understand where the title came from – starting about thirty minutes into this interminable, unfunny feature, I began looking at my watch every few minutes and thinking, 'Dear God, is this ever going to end?' A sickeningly bad pastiche of much better pictures – It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, and (believe it or not) Spartacus all leap to mind – Dear God is the worst excuse for a holiday film since Nora Ephron's hideous Mixed Nuts." As of August 2010, film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes had issued a 12% rating based on reviews from 33 critics.
