Sister Act 2 - Back In The Habit (DVD)

I bought this film when I replaced my old Sister Act VHS with the DVD and found it was going to cost me £5 to purchase the Sister Act DVD on its own or £6 to purchase it in a pack with Sister Act 2. I'm glad however that I did purchase this film as I really enjoyed watching it and have since watched it a couple more times. This film sees Delores Van Cartier back in the habit once again. This time after her convent friends come to visit her at one of her shows to request her help. The sisters of St Katherine's are now teachers at a school full of rather unruly children. Reluctantly Delores agrees to return to her position as Sister Mary Clarence and promises to ...  Read the complete review

What worries me about this sequel is that it came out so close to the original - only a year after in fact. Well, to me, that's way too soon, and really you can imagine there will be very little new element added to it in that short time. In this film, Whoopi Goldberg continues her role as the undercover FBI informant hiding in the habit, as she is brought back to teach singing to a struggling class. Well, in terms of plot this is a very corny film. It's all very predictable and cheesy as the nun does her bit to turn tough kids around. Not that there is anything particularly wrong with that, but it really is something we've all seen before is it ...  Read the complete review
