Movie synopsis

On-the-run after witnessing her Las Vegas mobster boyfriend kill someone, a tacky lounge singer (Whoopi Goldberg) enters the Witness Protection Program - as a nun. Now the convent needs protection, from the new Sister Mary Clarence and her Vegas-style ideas on how to run the choir. A charming comedy and one of Goldberg's best movies.

Editorial reviews

"...The choral scenes [are] skillfully done..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (05/29/1992)

"...Sidesplittingly funny....It's a new-style feel-good movie...Goldberg's voice -- a flat, gravelly drone of skepticism -- is a great comic instrument..."
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (05/29/1992)

"...Graced with a clever script, a cast that will make you smile until you ache, and a snappy sense of pace....[It is] one of those rare occasions where everything almost magically falls into place..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (05/29/1992)

This is just good clean fun.

Whoopi is trying to escape her mobster boyfriend after seeing his goons murder a man and is put into a convent for protection until the court hearing. From then on, it is fun and hard work for the "Sister" she becomes.

Well worth watching again and again.

Sister Act

Created: 20/05/09
I know I shouldn't, but I LOVE this movie. Between the feel good music and the cute story - how can anyone not love it? The nuns are endearing, the music is contagious (even if you are feeling bad, after this you will be smiling in spite of yourself). Even my little niece, after watching this, wanted my copy of the movie - which is why I am buying another... [:-)
