Oh, God! Book II

In a sun‑drenched suburb where the ordinary collides with the inexplicable, Tracy Richards is a bright‑eyed teenager whose life is already a mixture of basketball games, schoolyard chatter, and the usual teenage worries. One ordinary afternoon the universe slips a startling invitation into her world, and she finds herself hearing the voice of God—a warm, witty presence that chooses her, an unlikely messenger, to help spread a simple, hopeful idea. The film frames this extraordinary encounter with a breezy, almost comic‑book sensibility, letting the surreal feel as natural as a summer breeze slipping through open windows.

Tracy’s home life is a study in gentle contradictions. Her divorced father, Don, an advertising art director with a pragmatic streak, tries to balance work and parenting while keeping the household grounded. Her mother, Paula, a caring but conventional figure, worries about school grades and the usual milestones of growing up. Their perspectives clash with Tracy’s newfound mission, creating a subtle tonal tension between the adult world’s skepticism and the child’s boundless belief. Meanwhile, her neighbor and confidant Shingo offers the kind of peer support that feels both grounding and encouraging, highlighting the ordinary friendships that anchor her extraordinary undertaking.

The movie’s tone walks a tightrope between lighthearted comedy and earnest coming‑of‑age reflection. It riffs on the absurdity of divine messages delivered in modern settings, peppering the narrative with playful banter, quirky visual jokes, and a soundtrack that feels as bright as a summer afternoon. Yet beneath the humor lies a sincere exploration of faith, imagination, and the struggle to be heard when the world seems intent on dismissing the invisible.

As Tracy navigates school, family expectations, and the weight of a message that feels both personal and universal, the film invites the audience to wonder whether belief can bridge the gap between the mundane and the miraculous. The story promises a journey that is as much about the growth of a young girl discovering her voice as it is about a whimsical partnership that challenges everyone around her to look beyond what they can see.
