Deeming the accident an 'act of God,' Steve decides to sue the man at the root of his problem -- namely, God. Anna (Judy Davis), a jaded journalist who took a particular interest in Steve's case, decides to help him out on his quest to collect from the almighty. The movie raises a host of philosophical issues, some of which include who should represent God in court, who pays up should God be convicted, and the status of Steve's eternal soul. The Man Who Sued God also features Vincent Ball and Billie Brown.

This review is from: The Man Who Sued God [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Sweden ] (DVD)

I first saw this film in Australia about 3 years ago,and again in the U.S durring an Australian Film Festival.From start to finish,this film is hilarious and absoloutely brilliant!Billy Connelly is amongst my favorite comedic actors,and he puts just the right ammount of flavor into this film.It couldn't have been done right by anyone else.I dare not give away anythng about this film,you'd hunt me down to sue also.The title itself is well worth watching...it is so proposterous in nature.Just thinking about it gives me the giggles.The bad guys get what they deserve,and even in the end Billy walks away with a clean slate.If I could award this film with six stars or more I would.It is amongst my favorite Australian comedies,you can't go wrong seeing this film,let alone owning it.It's one to keep for years and is family friendly for the most part,as long as you have a sense of humor and aren't terribly offended by God and religion being sued.Come to think of it,it's actually not such a bad idea?
