Sister Act (1992)

Simply Perfect

Nice effects though.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Sorry if you love this movie, but I have just been forced to watch it, by the wife, and I found it to be a thick slice of sickly cheese with embarrassing and somewhat patronising dialogue. The kids make you squirm (even before they start to sing) and the actresses playing the nuns look awkward and self-conscious.I know this is a favourite for many, many people, and each to his or her own, but I suppose, when all is said and done, I am the wrong demographic for this type of thing.Ham and cheese often go together, and if you like your plate heaped high you will love it.

Sister Act (1992) is a smart well made comedy with great characters. Whoopi Goldberg really plays her starring role Dolores well, she is touching, delightful, entertaining, and hilarious when she needs to be. Maggie smith is awesome too! She is smart, funny, and fits the role very well. Kathy Najimy is absolutely hilarious here! When she sings so horribly at first, I was in the floor dying laughing, her Comedy just really works in this movie. The writing here is great, it's comedic style just works so well with the actors and their performances. The characters are also just so incredibly lovable, you automatically sympathize with them and pull hard for them. This film really works due to the writing and the performances, that's what lifts it up. Well that and the singing, the fun hip gospel that Whoopi inspires in this convent. This film is just a good time to have, It'll make you laugh and fell heart warmed at the same time. 8/10 for sister act.

I caught a glimpse of this again on TV a few days ago so I decided to throw a review on it.Whoppi Goldberg plays Dolores a nightclub singer who witnesssed a mob murder thanks to her mob boyfriend played by Harvey Kitnel and she has to leave the city. So she ends up telling the cops about it and one of the cops helps her escape by what else go undercover as a nun and hide out in a convent. So Dolores goes under the guise of St Mary Clarence and the convent is ran by Maggie Smith(Downton Abbey,Harry Potter franchise)and at first Smith doesn't take a shine to Goldberg but since the choir isn't doing that great, Goldberg decides to take matters into her own hands and decides to make the choir sing better as well Dolores used to be a nightclub singer. So will the choir improve with their singing which is all over the place?Bottom line this was a great film. I watched it so many times as a kid and it was funny in some parts. Also starring in this movie is Kathy Najmmi from Hocus Pocas and that hilarious flick Rat Race.Check it out and see what you think of it.

Deloris Van Cartier (Whoopi Goldberg) is a singer in a Reno casino lounge act. Her boyfriend Vince LaRocca (Harvey Keitel) won't leave his wife. To her surprise, he's a mob boss and she witnesses him kill somebody. She becomes a witness for the police and they hide her as a nun in a convent run by the Reverend Mother (Maggie Smith). She clashes with convent life. She befriends some of the other nuns and she coaches the choir to some success. She also pushes the nuns to interact and clean up their rundown neighborhood to the dismay of the Reverend Mother. Meanwhile Vince has a large contract out on her life.The characters are likable. Kathy Najimy is fun. Whoopi has a bit of street wise edge that plays well with the other nuns. It's not anything with big laughs but it gives a few smile-worthy moments. It's conventional in its structure and humor.
