A SCOT DOWN UNDER & OUT OF PLACE
Review of The Man Who Sued God (DVD) by
Badger_Boy
Advantages: Funny at times, good dialogue, Billy Connolly
Disadvantages: Predictable plot, no DVD extras
I had never heard of the film and hadn't seen it advertised, I merely stumbled across it on the homepage of Play247.com a couple of weeks ago. The reason I pre-ordered a copy for £13.99 was because the film stars Billy Connolly, one of my favourite comedians of all time.
The plot to The man Who Sued God is basic and the title to the film gives a lot away! Billy Connelly plays a former lawyer, Steve Myers. Rather than stay in the rat race and deal ...

Not His Finest Work!
Review of The Man Who Sued God (DVD) by
herby30
Advantages: Funny and entertaining
Disadvantages: Predictable ending
...Connolly, in fact most of the time I find myself cringing at the fact he portrays us Scot’s to be a bit on the mental side, I don’t go out of my way to watch him but if I do happen to come across him, I do happen to find myself laughing even though I try my best not to.
So when I heard he was starring in a new comedy film “The Man Who Sued God” I didn’t bother about it until a few friends had told me it was worth having ...

God, I Sue Enjoyed This Film
Review of The Man Who Sued God (DVD) by
KRISPY13
Advantages: Billy Connolly and a sterling performance
Disadvantages: Possibly not to everbodys taste
Although the concept of a act of god null and voiding your insurance claim may seem ludicrous to many people, well apparently it can. In 2001 universal studios decided that they would produce a film to outline this strange but true fact. Although I suppose being a rather touchy subject to some they decided it would be a comedy, with a kind of serious undertone of course. I mean think about it, to counteract this claim you would have to prove that ...

Connelly vs God
Review of The Man Who Sued God (DVD) by
princesslaura
Advantages: connelly
Disadvantages: cheesy moments
...[Steve Myers], who has left the rat race, borrowed money from his ex-wife’s partner to buy a boat, and is now fishing for a living.
Myers’ boat is struck by lightning and destroyed during a storm which he witnesses. This leaves Myers with a loan to repay and no way of making a living. When he tries to claim on his insurance they use the Act of God clause to get out of coughing up.
Myers then embarks on a crusade, with the help of journalist Anna ...

Heart-warming film let down by little annoyances
Review of The Man Who Sued God (DVD) by
ianpay
Advantages: Billy Connolly
Disadvantages: Slightly weak, unusual casting
...story by any stretch of the imagination, but it is a rather interesting take on the classic "Act of God" clause that is the curse of so many insurance policies.
The film is a low-budget Australian production, so to say I'm a little confused as to why Billy appears in it would be an understatement. Billy is Scottish. His brother, ex-wife, daughter and every other character in the film is Australian. Equally, Billy is the only really big name to ...

Another side of Billy Connely
Review of The Man Who Sued God (DVD) by
Callahan
Advantages: Billy Connely as an "almost" disciplined actor.
Disadvantages: Not the stand up side splitting laugh you might think.
...purpose other than to challenge the censors to say he could'nt do it. Billy of course did and made himself extremely sucessful into the bargain.
The DVD, "The man who sued God" is almost the perfect platform and story line, for Billy to show that he possesses acting skills well above average and suits his character, allowing him to deride authority and poke fun at institutions that need to be brought down to earth from time to time.
The film ...
