The Two SISTER ACT Films In 1992 & 1993.

The first one was good fun. Didn't like the second one mainly coz of all the annoying teenagers.

Oh wow, I haven't seen them since they came out in those respective years!

I have to agree, the first one is a classic, but the sequel was an utter disappointment. I guess the only redeeming factor for SA2 was seeing a young Jennifer Love Hewitt. She was so adorable back then. Other than that, I have to agree with misstique; the teenagers were annoying as hell, and it bombed at the box office.

I suppose this is why there was no third film to make it a trilogy.

I still have vague recollections of seeing this in the theatre, but have watched it numerous times it’s been on TV (and also had a second-hand VHS copy of it that we got cheap from the video store).

The first movie is still so enjoyable, even today. It’s funny, but there’s also a lot of ‘heart’ to it as well. Whoopi Goldberg is just so much fun as Deloris/Sister Mary Clarence, and Maggie Smith totally sells her character’s change of opinion regarding Deloris towards the end of the film.

I liked the different dynamics Deloris had with the different nuns. I appreciated how Deloris was able to appeal to each Sister and offer constructive criticism without insulting them/putting them down. She was able to convince Sister Mary Patrick to take it down a notch with her “powerful instrument”; she knew how to get on the ‘good’ side of Sister Mary Lazarus (after at first getting on her ‘bad’ side when she thought Deloris was purposely replacing her), and I think my favourite friendship Deloris formed was the one with Sister Mary Robert.

Out of all the songs that the choir performed after Deloris had helped teach them to sing, I liked the first and last songs the best. Everyone’s reactions to the choir’s horrible singing early in the film still amuse me.

I thought Harvey Keitel was a decent enough villain and Bill Nunn was likeable as Eddie Souther.

Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit was definitely disappointing in comparison to the first, though there were a few 'good' moments sprinkled throughout (such as the bit with the chair already mentioned) and I particularly liked Deloris's part in this clip:
