Mudança de Hábito 2: Mais Loucuras no Convento

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 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.

As someone who is more into edgy, thriller movies, I would just DIE of embarrassment if anyone I know knew how much I love this film! I don't know why, because it is an eternal cheese-fest, but it is such a feel-good film. I love everything about it from the Whoopi Goldberg and Lauren Hill to the corny storyline. OK, so it's certainly no masterpiece, but it's also no Teenwolf 2 either. I think this is an underrated gem and deserves more than the 4.5 rating it has received. It's worth watching just to hear the amazing voices of some of the individuals involved. I think everyone has a cheesy film they secretly love, and this is definitely mine - just don't tell anyone!!!!

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.

such a pleasure, albeit a guilty one! The original wasn't good enough to warrant a sequel. Nonetheless, the choirs are so talented; their acts never get tired no matter how many times this piece re-runs on cable. Whatever her other pros and cons, Whoopi plays to the ensemble in this one, never the scene hog. What a pleasure to see an icon like Maggie Smith so thoroughly and obviously enjoying herself---ditto Mary Wickes, after being such a steadfast fixture of a supporting character on screen for nearly 70 years, her penultimate screen appearance.

and really that's the whole point here isn't it? simple enjoyment, by actors and audience, in a meld of plots so familiar and comfortable, especially at holiday time. Among them--- Hey Kids Let's Put on a Show and Save Grandpa's Farm... Fish Out of Water Makes Good... Stick Together and Win the Big Game...
