Musical comedy that's Sister Act,betting in the formula that two different person can lives together...that's the main point when you bring a sinner singer running for the mob could be cover in a Covent managed for a strong moral code....clash between Deloris and Mother Superior, meanwhile the chemistry for both powerful actress Goldberg and Smith gave to the movie what it needs....ending up to get strong when the musical acts finally build another atmosphere for the whole story... enjoyable movie even today. It was released on DVD in Brazil without dubbing it's a crying shame...so l'd to watch it on Netflix that has a dubbed version.Resume:First Watch: 1996 / How many: 4 / Source: TV-Netflix / Rating: 7.5

This movie is full of laughs, has an entertaining story, action and plenty of good music. You don't have to be a fan of these kind of films to love this movie. Most movies I'm into are horror films but I love Sister Act so that shows how good this movie is if it can win me over like that. Brilliant music, very fine acting and a delight to watch. This is one of the best family comedies I have seen and is a good example of how good and magical films are in the 90's. The cast is brilliant; the hilarious Kathy Najimy stars as the bouncy, always-cheerful Sister Mary Patrick; Wendy Makkena as the awfully shy Sister Mary Robert; Mary Wickes as the spunky, wise-cracking Sister Mary Lazarus, and of course, the legendary Maggie Smith as the ever-stern, yet caring, Reverend Mother. And these aren't the only colorful characters; every nun has their own special personality. As for the plot, in my opinion it's very original and interesting. I have to admit it did slow down a couple of times, but for the most part it was convincing and, to me, very well-written.Overall, this movie is one the entire family can enjoy and watch over and over again. And when it comes to the bare necessities of a picture, there's "nun too many" or "nun too few" here! Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

"Sister Act" is a 'fish out of water' story about a lounge singer (Whoopi Goldberg) who witnesses a murder and is forced to hide out in a convent until the murderer can be brought to trial. As you might expect, she has difficulty fitting in, though the choir presents an opportunity for redemption.While the story may be light and fluffy, the acting talent elevates the movie above most comedies. Whoopi Goldberg was fresh off her Oscar win for "Ghost" and she was ideally suited to the role of the sassy Deloris. Perhaps even better was the always reliable Dame Maggie Smith as the formidable Mother Superior. The supporting players didn't disappoint either, with the likes of Harvey Keitel, Bill Nunn & Kathy Najimy joining lesser known (but no less memorable) Mary Wickes & Wendy Makkena.In terms of production values, the movie is more than satisfactory. Emile Ardolino's unobtrusive direction supports the comedy and also allows the music to be showcased. Focusing mainly on 60's girl group music, the soundtrack has some memorable moments and interpretations.While the plot may simply be too frivolous for some, "Sister Act" is an enjoyable popcorn movie with several memorable performances and songs. It wasn't vying for any Oscars but there's a reason why it was such a big hit back in 1992 and why it still holds up today.

I caught a glimpse of this again on TV a few days ago so I decided to throw a review on it.Whoppi Goldberg plays Dolores a nightclub singer who witnesssed a mob murder thanks to her mob boyfriend played by Harvey Kitnel and she has to leave the city. So she ends up telling the cops about it and one of the cops helps her escape by what else go undercover as a nun and hide out in a convent. So Dolores goes under the guise of St Mary Clarence and the convent is ran by Maggie Smith(Downton Abbey,Harry Potter franchise)and at first Smith doesn't take a shine to Goldberg but since the choir isn't doing that great, Goldberg decides to take matters into her own hands and decides to make the choir sing better as well Dolores used to be a nightclub singer. So will the choir improve with their singing which is all over the place?Bottom line this was a great film. I watched it so many times as a kid and it was funny in some parts. Also starring in this movie is Kathy Najmmi from Hocus Pocas and that hilarious flick Rat Race.Check it out and see what you think of it.
