Whoopi Goldberg stars as a sassy, low-rent lounge singer forced to hide out from the mob in the last place anyone would ever look for her - a convent. While she's there, her irreverent behavior attracts a flock of faithful followers and turns the nuns' tone-deaf choir into a soulful chorus of swingin' singin' sisters. But when the group earns rave reviews, her sudden celebrity jeopardizes her hidden identity.

Eddie Harrison

…the kind of unassuming, crowd-pleasing, light-weight but satisfying film that cinema has completely lost the formula for by 2023…

Whoopi is aware of the goofy premise, refusing to take her situation with any seriousness, even though the rest of the cast attempts a level of sincerity.

Sister Act is outrageous fun and delicious deviltry. The laughs keep coming but, best of all, there's much humanity at work. It's a movie that just, pardon me, makes you feel darn good.

It's all pretty predictable, and if there was time you might get pissed off at the ridiculousness of it all. But things move at such a quickened pace, and the comedic timing of all involved is impressive enough to override the structural flaws.
