    Editorial Reviews

    A sleeper hit that received a lukewarm reception from critics but was a success with audiences, Sister Act (1992) was star Whoopi Golberg's first bona fide smash after her Oscar victory for Ghost (1990). Goldberg stars as Deloris Van Cartier, a Reno lounge singer who accidentally witnesses a brutal murder carried out by her gangster boyfriend Vince (Harvey Keitel). Under the protection of a detective (Bill Nunn) who's trying to bring down Vince's criminal operation, Deloris is placed in protective custody at a San Francisco convent. Masquerading as a nun renamed Sister Mary Clarence, Deloris shakes up the established order of the sisters' lives, particularly enlivening their choral efforts. Although running constantly afoul of the Mother Superior (Maggie Smith), the new, jazzed-up musical act becomes a huge hit in the community, even drawing the attention of the Pope, but also alerting Vince to Deloris' whereabouts. Although credited to the pseudonymous Joseph Howard, Sister Act was actually written by Paul Rudnick and Carrie Fisher. The film was followed by a sequel, Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993).

    November 10, 2006: A great spoofing on Catholicism without crossing the line into bigotry. One has to be Catholic to truly understand what it means. Whoopi Goldberg makes the nunery come alive (literally, in some places) in this racuous comedy.

    This movie is soo amazingly goodby Anonymous

    April 02, 2005: Whoopi was amazing in this movie, playing as a nun helping a choir go from bad to totally fab. If you like Whoopi in other movies, this is going to be one that you'll fall in love with over and over again.
