Dear God
- Comedy
A judge gives con-man Tom Turner a choice—a jail sentence, or a year of honest work. But when he gets a job in the U.S. Post Office's dead letter office, he starts a Good Samaritan con by answering letters written to God. His seemingly virtuous work inspires his co-workers to do the same, but their good deeds are frowned upon by the postmaster general—and the cops.
Dear God is a 1996 comedy film starring Greg Kinnear as a con artist sentenced to work in the Post Office's dead letter office. When he begins answering letters addressed to God, his scheme to help people spirals into an unexpected morality tale that challenges both his co-workers and the authorities.
