Oh My God?

British commercial photographer Peter Rodger took his camera — and a crew to document him using his camera — around the world like a well-connected dilettante, asking people the uselessly vague question ''What is God?'' There's no explanation in Oh My God? of how Rodger selected his interviewees: Why was he on the set of Australia, getting spiritual insights from Hugh Jackman? Or on the doorsteps of any of the random respondents who opine (when they weren't wandering off into unrelated commentary about conflict in the Middle East)? The answers he strings together are babble in this superficial vanity documentary. Nice shots of awesome, God-approved scenery, though.
