Heavenly Comic Gem With Whoopi Goldberg In One Of Her Best Roles
I have always thought that for the most part Hollywood has never utilised properly the great comic abilities of Whoopi Goldberg. Apart from a few comic roles such as her richly deserved Oscar winning performance in "Ghost", she generally has appeared in films on the whole unworthy of her talents. The wonderful "Sister Act", casting Whoopi as a second rate Reno lounge singer hiding out dressed as a nun in a convent from her mobster boyfriend was happily one of the few times where the film role matched Ms. Goldberg's formidable talents. It is without a doubt one of my favourite comedies of recent decades and with its wonderful supporting cast offers a rare opportunity from this period for a large group of women to shine at once in a modern film. The combination of nuns, mobsters, great music and some side splitting humour is a combination made in heaven, to excuse the pun, and Whoopi makes the most of the situation. As with alot of great comedies "Sister Act", also contains moments of great warmth and some often insightful observations of the state of modern organised religion. Full of charm, great comedy and memorable characters "Sister Act", is one film you dont want to miss which goes to prove great comedies for the whole family can still be made in these present times.

Never get tired of it
This is one of my favorite movies. Every time I watch it I laugh out loud. Gotta love those rockin' nuns. Gotta love Whoopi!!

The Hippest Church Choir You Will Ever Hear
Talk about a turnabout situation. Any of you who have seen The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie will remember Maggie Smith playing a rather unorthodox teacher in Scotland who angered her superiors by her inordinate method of influencing her young pupils and rebelling against authority. Now, as Mother Superior, her straight-laced character has to deal with a lounge singer disguised as a nun who has the same characteristics Miss Brodie had! I loved Sister Act and Sister Act 2 very much; both left me in good spirits with rollicking music, mad chase scenes, a transformed choir and a head nun with new ideas on how to run a convent.
