Sister Act 2 - In göttlicher Mission

When the Nun's get sick of the unruly behaviour the kids display during school, and the lack of work that is being done, Mother Superior (Maggie Smith) calls upon Sister Mary Clarence, Deloris Van Cartier for help. So she's goin' back to the convent. She's gettin' back into that uniform, and, she's gettin' back in the habit!

While there, Mary Clarence (Whoopi Goldberg) manages to transform the music class of non-listening, no attention-paying roudy little snots into a magical choir with voices of gold. It is here, that they decide to enter the regional championships for school singing (or something along those lines).

However, one girl in particular, once a drop-out, with an awesome voice (played brilliantly by Fugee's frontwoman Lauryn Hill), is not intially allowed to go. Her mother (played by another R 'N' B singer Sheryl Lee Ralph, also from 'Moesha') will not allow her to. So she forges her signature and they head off to the championships.

Jennifer Love Hewitt stars here, as one of the singing kids from the music class (bearing in mind, that she has since released 3 albums). Wendy Makkena and Kathy Najimy reprise their roles as two of the most-mentioned Nuns.

Once again, Whoopi manages to pull off another great movie, without a great deal of trouble. Lot's of fun, but I enjoyed the first one, just a little bit more. 7./10

The soundtrack is brilliant and performed by some well known names. What let's this movie down is the story. The jokes are terrible (My son says I must have written them) but that's my humour.

It does feel a bit like this was put together as a result of the success of the first film and Sister Act 2 just doesn't hit the same notes, but it is still entertaining and well worth a watch.

The feel good factor comes at the end when the kids are singing 'Joyful, Joyful', the rap of which was written by one of the cast, Ryan Toby. This scene will have you hoping the kids win.

Go on, watch it. You know you want to. Whoopi at her normal chaotic self.

Before you rent this sequel to the 1992 classic, you should be aware that this is not nearly as good nor nearly as funny as the original SISTER ACT film. It's still an entertaining film and it's better the most of the other movies Whoopi Goldberg has been in during the past few years. The cast while not as good as the original is still a great cast. I especially enjoyed James Coburn, Michael Jeter, Lauryn Hill, and Jennifer Love Hewitt as Margaret. The soundtrack is better than the actual movie, but that's true with most movies these days.

As someone who is more into edgy, thriller movies, I would just DIE of embarrassment if anyone I know knew how much I love this film! I don't know why, because it is an eternal cheese-fest, but it is such a feel-good film. I love everything about it from the Whoopi Goldberg and Lauren Hill to the corny storyline. OK, so it's certainly no masterpiece, but it's also no Teenwolf 2 either. I think this is an underrated gem and deserves more than the 4.5 rating it has received. It's worth watching just to hear the amazing voices of some of the individuals involved. I think everyone has a cheesy film they secretly love, and this is definitely mine - just don't tell anyone!!!!

Compared to most sequels, this is in the top 20. But as for comparison to the first, there is almost no relation. The first was a good movie. Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit does not compare to most movies. Some cheap independent films, if well acted, are better. But some commercial movies are worse than this movie. It had no great acting. Some things were funny. But why didn't the nuns sing again? That would seem most logical to do in this film. And kids? Ok, I guess. But the story line could be changed, and then everything re-vamped, without the practically psychotic men from the monastery, and you have a great movie.
