    Sequels Don't Suck. Amen.

    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

    Good...For A Sequel

    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.

    The Greatest Sequel Ever Made. W/ Lauryn Hill

    The final musical number of this movie makes me cry every time without fail. The amount of joy that radiates by seeing people who have been told they have no chance their whole lives finally being able to exist authentically is immeasurable. Sister act 2 is a top notch sequel that 100% rivals the original and is a beacon of joy that we need to see again today.

    Love This Movie!!!

    Where do I begin? Lauryn Hill, Whoopi Goldberg, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Tonya Blount, Sheryl Lee Ralph (I wish she sang!!!), and Kathy Najimy. Wonderful cast that played well off each other. Absolutely beautiful harmonies and arrangements. The story was so simple and relatable. The kids were the epitome of 'fresh' at the time, and I was the target demographic for this gem of a movie.

    As a choir kid, this movie reminds me of all the state competitions I attended; how it was so exciting, yet nerve-wracking to be from an inner city school competing with polished, much larger suburban choirs. It hurts my heart to see this movie's rating, as it is a cherished work of nostalgia.

    This movie is a joy to watch for all generations, and it even has a few nuggets of wisdom.

    Quite entertaining

    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.

    • Trivia
      Whoopi Goldberg's daughter, Alex Martin, appears in this movie as one of the classroom children. She says the "Yo Mama" line about Skittles.
    • Goofs
      Deloris's identity should have been well known to Father Maurice and Mr. Crisp, as well as anyone else in San Francisco's Roman Catholic Diocese due to the fame she received during the first film. It's clear at the end of the first movie that Deloris received a lot of press, and thus her identity should have been known.
