Description:
Relive all the fun, laughter, and irresistible music of SISTER ACT -- the inspired comedy hit that packed pews everywhere! Whoopi Goldberg stars as a sassy, low-rent lounge singer forced to hide out from the mob in the last place on earth anyone would look for her -- a convent. While she's there, her irreverent behavior attracts a flock of faithful followers and turns the nuns' tone-deaf choir into a soulful chorus of swingin', singin' sisters. But when the group earns rave reviews, her sudden celebrity jeopardizes her hidden identity. Harvey Keitel and Kathy Najimy join a heavenly cast in this habit-forming comedy bursting with '60s Motown hits.

Whoopi Goldberg plays a Reno lounge singer who hides out as a nun when her villainous boyfriend (Harvey Keitel) goes gunning for her. Maggie Smith is the mother superior who has to cope with Whoopi's unorthodox behavior, but the cute script turns the tables and shows how the latter energizes the stodgy convent with song and attitude. A real crowd-pleaser and a perfect vehicle for Goldberg, this is a happy experience all around. --Tom Keogh

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent nun comedy!!
I first saw this movie back when my grandmother bought it on VHS in '92. For the first few minutes, I knew I was going to love this movie. It has become one of my favorites since then. Whoopi plays Deloris Van Cartier, who is a Las Vegas lounge singer whose boyfriend is in the local mob. She walks in and sees him killing a previous employer who went to report him to the police. Deloris gets scared immediately, runs away from Vince's (Harvey Keitel) buddies who are told to "take care of it", meaning kill Deloris. She reports the incident to the police, and the lieutenant gets her into hiding for a short time until Vince goes to trial. Deloris is reluctant, but agrees to go. She is put in a place where Vince wouldn't even think she's at: a convent. She meets with the strict Reverend Mother (played by Maggie Smith), and has to adapt to the simple life of being a nun. She quickly befriends the rest of the sisters, and ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - nuns have more fun :-)
I love "Sister Act" almost as much as I love Whoop! This movie is just tailor-made for Whoop, isn't it! Whoopi is totally perfect, and hilarious in every single scene. This is also a great movie that your entire family will enjoy because it is very wholesome and has a great upbeat message. Whoopi Goldberg gave a very Oscar-worthy performance just as she did in Ghost (another one of her best movies!) Perhaps the reason why she wasn't nominated though was because the role was too perfect, maybe the academy could not see where the character began and where the person ended?

OK if you are one of the 2 people on the face of this planet who still have not seen "Sister Act" allow me to tell you what it's about. Whoopi plays Deloris Van Cartier, a fast-talking singer at a fleabag Reno casino. When she goes back to confront her married lover (Harvey Keitel plays the mobster-with-a-heart, Vince) she eyes a hit! ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awasome movie!
Whoopi in a nun's outfit,!..Whaat?! this movie is a genious comedy, you laugh non stop, Maggie Smith is excellent, I love the 'Las Vegas' show of Delores at the beginning of the movie, is just the best!
