I did not like Sister Act (Back in the Habit) at all. The kids in it were so mean and so rebellious at the first, gluing Sister Mary Clarence to her chair, that I could not forgive them. Even though they won the singing championship, I did not feel they deserved it. I really thought the group that when they sang, the St. Francis girls said, “They’re good, they’re really, really good,” should have won first place.
I loved Whoopi and the nuns, and I really took a liking to Father Thomas and Ignacious. My favorite part of the movie was where Father Thomas was driving the bus, and he really should not have been. It was pretty funny.
However, I’m only rating this movie two stars because I felt the kids in it did not need to behave the way they did. I have no respect for children who do whatever the heck they want to do, even when their parent objects, and then gets a sweet little slap on the back for doing it. I feel Rita’s mother should have been a little angrier at being disobeyed, even though I felt the mother, too, was wrong in thinking you couldn’t put food on the table with singing. I happen to love singing, I sing at church. And if singing couldn’t put food on the table, then what about all those Christian singers like Sandi Patti and Michael W. Smith who do just fine eating and singing?
I feel this movie could have been a lot better planned than it was, and if there is ever a Sister Act 3, I hope it is more like the first one.
Rating: 2 / 5
The first Sister Act was great–You’re supposed to see the movie, to get into the characters/storyline. I did that w/the first one. Not in this second–all I saw was the effort.
The basic plot is the same as the first (“saving” the kids the way whoopi’s character was “saved”; the mafia still chasing after whoopi’s character).
zzzzzzz…..
Enjoy the first Sister Act and be happy. (btw–the kids don’t sing. They do hiphop and rapping at the end of movie. Rapping, for those who don’t know the difference, is not singing. Sorry folks!)
Rating: 1 / 5
While the content of this movie may indeed by harmless, it is also hopelessly predictable and boring. I don’t think it would have been possible for the producers to have stuffed one more tired-out cliche into this movie. The only reason I kept watching after the first 1/2 hour was to hear the singing, and in the end I’m sorry I did. Save two hours of your life and don’t bother with this mind-numbing film.
Rating: 1 / 5
For the few of you who actually enjoyed Sister Act 1, you will be sadly disappointed that there are none of the mad cap fun, zany antics, or wacky hijinks. Although there is some lesbian tension that you KNOW is there. The hottie from the Fugees is in here and in full effizect. I highly recommend buying the first one if you like this “stuff”.

This is a wonderful movie filled with great singing, and many, many laughs. Lauryn Hill and Ryan Toby are wonderful singers and light this movie up. Whoopi Goldberg as always, is a scream. A definate must see.
