It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I watch this movie every so often to put a big smile on my face. Outwitting It's fun...sometimes slapstick...and the music is terrific...upbeat, with some positive rapping. It makes me so happy. Maggie Smith...Lauryn Hill (her song is so moving)...James Coburn (appropriately villainous)...Sheryl Lee Ralph ... enjoyable performances...family fun.

Did the original Sister Act need a sequel? Probably not but the success of the first one meant that the inevitable sequel was made in 1993.And to the credit of everyone involved it's not that bad and proves and enjoyable way to spend 90 minutes. While the story isn't really that strong and the first 30 minutes are a little manic as the director tries to re-establish the characters, the story and the reason for Goldberg going back in disguise (because, let's face it, that's what audiences want to see.And so begins a film that has some good moments of comedy and music. It's not as good as the first but then again most sequels aren't. The main thing is that this film doesn't tarnish the reputation of the first and shows again that nuns can be funny.

Films are like food. And obviously, people have their tastes and expectations. I watched Sister Act One and it was great, and was funny as much as it kept you at the edge of your sit. However, Sister Act 2 is a different kettle of fish, in spite of the return of a few known characters. I can seriously relate to it, and so can people working with kinds, teens and 'tweens' , in schools, inner city urban situations. I like a movie where people of no hope end up with hope. Found myself wipe off a few tears at the end. And in life almost imitating art. I was asked to help out as choir director for a bunch of kids and teens that were being taken care off by our local Salvation Army. They, you guess it decided to form a choir. They were kids from different,sometimes dysfunctional and even broken homes, with a few suffering from ADHD ! Not to bore you, the same group has become much sought after, sung in festivals, won an award, been a TV a couple of times and will be traveling outside the country in a few month's time! That's why I love to watch this movie. Fun and hope.

In this movie, the characters seem more relaxed around each other than they did in the first movie, probably because Deloras wasn't in any danger and they were all familiar with each other by now. Like SISTER ACT before it, this movie is funny and uplifting at the same time. You cheered every time those kids accomplished something, just as you did when the St. Catherine's Choir of the original movie became successful. A great inspiring movie about people tapping into their own potential and realize they have more to offer than they think. Both movies did a good job of getting this message across. Sister Mary Clarence didn't seem like a fish out of water like she did in the last movie, either, and that's probably why a lot of folks think this movie isn't as good as the original. Okay, so she's more familiar with her surroundings, but it's still uplifting and funny. A movie that inspires people to be the best they can be. So...WAKE UP AND PAY ATTENTION!!!!!
