Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Sorry, this movie sucks

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

I love God, the Devil & Bob (GD&B)! I rewatch episodes a couple times a year, and still laugh at some of the jokes. And, occasionally, shed a tear or two.It's a miraculous thing, really, apparently written by a chimeric beast; part divinity student, part Broadway showboater. Although perhaps too bad they skimped a little in the animation visuals department, the visuals nonetheless reasonably hold up their part of the bargain.Special shout-out to the voice work: Everyone does a slam-bang job, but gotta pay tribute to James Garner, RIP. I also have a special place in my heart for Jeff Doucette's Smeck.Check it out! But only IFF those jackanapes who fancy themselves "the elect" haven't yet made off with your sense of humor!

This is a wonderful concept and to be honest whose interest couldn't be picked by such a cracking title as "God the Devil and Bob." Sadly, the most remarkable thing about this programme is the utter sense of disappointment and anticlimax it inspires.There are a number of glimmering gems of ideas buried in this programme but so deeply disguised and poorly done that you can't help feel it was a disaster they tried to do them at all. It would have been better if they'd just left it for someone else to do well.Some of the dialogue itself seems good but is so poorly delivered and with such bad timing they don't even register as amusing. There's not even one point in the whole thing that really cracks a genuine smile. The characters are flat, the music annoying the sentiment painful.The only vaguely redeeming feature of this programme is Alan Cumming as the Devil. His vulnerable, do-you-really-love-me tone of voice during some of his conversations with God is wonderful.I expected this to be the snappy, quirky, satirical programme it looked to be. If you are expecting the same thing save yourself the disappointment and don't watch. Sad to say, it's really not worth it.

Somebody brought up the Simpson's in this context. It's true: the same narrow minds that fought the Simpsons for Bart's "rebellious attitude" fought this one too. How stupid can you get. While not the greatest show in the world, this was clever, fun, and quite wise on a theological level. In fact, I can't really figure out why a religious person would be against this, unless they are simply looking for something to be offended by, because it makes them happy to get in a paroxysm of moral outrage, regardless of the matter before them.I'll tell you the difference between the Simpson's and this quick cancellation: we've had a great increase in power, over the last 15 years, of the narrow-minded and censorious. This trend must be fought, or we won't have much culture left.

Well, I was truly amazed. I was expecting another boring mid-season replacement, but I was wrong. The show was absolutely amazing. The writing is straight to the point and just hilarious. Alan Cumming, (the devil), is the best! He brings the show to life and this is the perfect role for him. I hope others like it too, I'd be crushed to see it canceled.
