“Playing God” (**1/2 out of four) was an engagingly frothy screwball comedy about two con artists (Hannah Kasulka and Luke Benward) who recruit their mentor (Alan Tudyk) to play God in order to scheme and scam a dying billionaire (Michael McKean) but things do not go as planned. Directed with bounce and flair by Scott Brignac and enhanced by an enthusiastic cast although it starts to run out of tricks after a while and starts to run out of steam. Still overall entertaining and worth checking out. No relation to the 1997 David Duchovny thriller of the same name.
