Critics Consensus: Sister Act is off-key in this reprise, fatally shifting the spotlight from Whoopi Goldberg to a less compelling ensemble of pupils and trading its predecessor's sharp comedy for unconvincing sentiment.

…music is the one thing this sequel gets right…

A singer's movie for the ages, one with virtually no contemporary rivals. It feels like a film that could have been made only by people who understand on an intuitive level why we sing in the first place.

It gave us a beautiful soundtrack with engaging performances and a story that while admittedly generic is extremely likable and easy cheer for.

Even by sequel standards, a minimal amount of creativity has gone into "Sister Act 2," and not even the talents of its cast, including several likable young people, can compensate for this thrown-together feeling.

The musical sequences are lively enough and Maggie Smith gives her usual sterling support.
