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. Sister Act 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 Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit Whoopi Goldberg returns in a gratuitous, poorly written sequel that contrives a reason to get her character back into Maggie Smith's convent. The "socially conscious" plot finds Goldberg being asked to relate to a bunch of street kids and pull them together into a choir. Since a bad guy is needed, the script grabs that old chestnut about a rich guy (James Coburn) preparing to close down the convent's school, and runs with it. The film is slow and unconvincing from start to finish, although costars Mary Wickes and Kathy Najimy get some good laughs, and the music is pretty spirited. --Tom Keogh Review: Good service - Arrived ahead of schedule. Cute movies. Review: Sister Act - Received in very good condition. Watched them. They were fantastic.

Two of the Best Films for Foster Children (And Adults)!
Personally, I love these films. They're filled with talented, incredibly funny women who are clearly having a good time. Kathy Najimy, Mary Wickes, Maggie Smith...AND Whoopi Goldberg? What an incredibly deep ensemble! It almost seems too good to be true! It just gets better with Sister Act 2, and one of the best parts of that film is that it's easy for a viewer to forget it's a movie and get caught up rooting for the young musicians and their incredible music. These films have power. They touch people spiritually in a deeply positive, loving way. The message is clear and simple: "If you want to be somebody, if you want to go somwhere, you've got to wake up and pay attention!" And, never stop believing in yourself, add a little faith and a whole lot of creative humor! Years ago I watched my temporary foster son, while recovering from incredible abuse, relax and smile while watching these films. Later, he invited several friends over and made them watch too. It was a magical thing that I can't fully explain, but it was about heart. (His other favorite film was Howard the Duck, by the way). Thank you ladies, for the incredible gift of these two films. I'm sure many of us feel eternally grateful!

The First is Better but the Second has a Good Male Supporting Cast
I originally saw Sister Act in the theater with a friend. I grew up in the Catholic school systems so I could relate/understand more than my friend, well, a lot more. Whoopi's character is Sister Mary Clarence a nun new to this convent. She says she is from a "progressive convent" which gets her into trouble with Mother Superior, Maggie Smith. Dame Maggie Smith can go toe-to-toe with Whoopi and is funny in her own right. Whoopi did her own singing, which surprised a lot of people. She turns a bunch of nuns who carry a tune into a choir that ends up singing for the "Pope." Now, Sister Act 2 Back in the Habit. Trying to capitalize on the first one, they made S.A.2. This time Sister Mary Clarence is a high school music teacher. The original cast returns, including Mary Wickes, plus there are other supporting cast members; they are Michael Jeter, a fun loving math teacher, Barnard Hughes, a priest who is the head of the school, a 14-year old Jennifer Love Hewitt, James Coburn, who works for the diocese and wants the school closed to put in a parking lot because it would be more profitable. Sr. Mary Clarence is an unwelcome addition to the faculty and her students do everything they can to get rid of her. Sister Mary Clarence decides that her class time will be best spent by turning a bunch of teenagers who just want to cruise through the semester into a choir. And so she does! The first song they perform as a choir is Oh Happy Day, which is great and then an upbeat Joyful, Joyful. There are other songs throughout the movie sung by Whoopi and others.

2 – Movie Collection
These films are fun, musical-based, comedies. They are nothing ground-breaking or cutting edge in the genre. But they are a joy to watch if you’re looking for something light and fluffy with some catchy music. The first film is a wonderful situational comedy that places your typical “bad apple” in the last place they’d want to be in – a place that symbolizes truth, honesty, and virtue. The main cast plays well off of each other – the relationships genuine. The film’s plot is pretty simple, but it’s the music that adds a little something different. The second film seemed to be a cash-grab based on the success of the first one. It doesn’t make much sense to go back “under cover” but the new setting and new cast members give this plot some new life. Again, the plot is simple and all too convenient. But the soul-based musical numbers will have you humming along. The five star rating is for the condition of the product. No problems with the case, disc, or shipping of the product.
