Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

bbewnylorac Sure, Sister Act is a bit silly and won't win any awards, but I really enjoyed it because it's fun, and its heart is in the right place. What elevates it is the musical numbers. Whoopi Goldberg (Sister Mary Clarence) shines as the sleazy Vegas lounge singer who finds herself rebooting a woeful church choir. She's been sent to the church's convent to be a nun under witness protection, after witnessing a mafia shooting in a nightclub. The casting is excellent - including the strict mother superior, played by Dame Maggie Smith, and a gaggle of very eccentric nuns led by the wonderful Mary Wickes and Kathy Najimy. The Goldberg role was going to be played by Bette Midler, but I think Goldberg is even better in this role - more streetwise and convincing is being a fish out of water. Goldberg injects a manic desperation to her very jaded floozy character, who, it turns out, does have a heart after all. But back to the music. The combination of Motown and revved up church songs works beautifully. Much of the movie's comedy comes from Goldberg's frustrating journey in trying to teach the unruly nuns to sing in tune. When the choir finally gets its act together, it's quite thrilling, and the choreography and cinematography of their performances is perfectly executed. Goldberg's character does go on a journey by finding her talent for directing the choir, and by helping the nuns start to step outside to minister to the local community. In some ways, Sister Act is like an old fashioned Hollywood movie. It is heavy on dialogue in indoor settings, and goes for pithy set-ups and one liners. It's a little corny. It's not that believable but it's just so enjoyable. It will lift your spirits and make you feel good. Which, to me, is a worthwhile achievement for any film.

Predrag This movie is full of laughs, has an entertaining story, action and plenty of good music. You don't have to be a fan of these kind of films to love this movie. Most movies I'm into are horror films but I love Sister Act so that shows how good this movie is if it can win me over like that. Brilliant music, very fine acting and a delight to watch. This is one of the best family comedies I have seen and is a good example of how good and magical films are in the 90's. The cast is brilliant; the hilarious Kathy Najimy stars as the bouncy, always-cheerful Sister Mary Patrick; Wendy Makkena as the awfully shy Sister Mary Robert; Mary Wickes as the spunky, wise-cracking Sister Mary Lazarus, and of course, the legendary Maggie Smith as the ever-stern, yet caring, Reverend Mother. And these aren't the only colorful characters; every nun has their own special personality. As for the plot, in my opinion it's very original and interesting. I have to admit it did slow down a couple of times, but for the most part it was convincing and, to me, very well-written.Overall, this movie is one the entire family can enjoy and watch over and over again. And when it comes to the bare necessities of a picture, there's "nun too many" or "nun too few" here! Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

sme_no_densetsu "Sister Act" is a 'fish out of water' story about a lounge singer (Whoopi Goldberg) who witnesses a murder and is forced to hide out in a convent until the murderer can be brought to trial. As you might expect, she has difficulty fitting in, though the choir presents an opportunity for redemption.While the story may be light and fluffy, the acting talent elevates the movie above most comedies. Whoopi Goldberg was fresh off her Oscar win for "Ghost" and she was ideally suited to the role of the sassy Deloris. Perhaps even better was the always reliable Dame Maggie Smith as the formidable Mother Superior. The supporting players didn't disappoint either, with the likes of Harvey Keitel, Bill Nunn & Kathy Najimy joining lesser known (but no less memorable) Mary Wickes & Wendy Makkena.In terms of production values, the movie is more than satisfactory. Emile Ardolino's unobtrusive direction supports the comedy and also allows the music to be showcased. Focusing mainly on 60's girl group music, the soundtrack has some memorable moments and interpretations.While the plot may simply be too frivolous for some, "Sister Act" is an enjoyable popcorn movie with several memorable performances and songs. It wasn't vying for any Oscars but there's a reason why it was such a big hit back in 1992 and why it still holds up today.

xsophietaylorx Sister Act really is just some harmless fun it's a funny film with a purpose I believe of acceptance it gives a different fun like spin off on the nun life style which is nice to watch! At the end of day who doesn't like a tiny bit of Whoopi. Goldberg really doe steal the show mainly because she is the main character and just has the most spice about her she brings this new look to the nuns and it's brilliant fun to witness how it all turns out. People are giving this film bad reviews but maybe it isn't everyone's cup of tea? I think it is just nice entertainment a light comedy with nothing too thought provoking something to sleep on to light your mood. At the end of the day overall the movie is sweet it's got strangely catchy songs on it that make you want to just dance along to the holy tunes!
