…music is the one thing this sequel gets right…

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 22, 2023

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.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 4, 2020

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 3, 2020

Considering how terribly resistible (to me, at least) last year's Sister Act was, the sequel seems like a movie miracle.

| Jun 3, 2020

Sister Act 2 works simply because it avoids getting stuck in the same storyline as the original film, which happens with so many sequels.

Why Whoopi took up the habit here is a mystery-unless she's tired of this part and wants to make sure there won't be any more "Sister Acts."

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Jun 3, 2020

Drags by minute by painful minute as Whoopi Goldberg and a strong supporting cast strive in vain to recapture the breezy energy of the original.

Absolutely dreadful.

While the kids may sing a storm when at last they get down to mixing Beethoven, gospel and rap, in the good clean fun department this is monumentally weak and derivative.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 4, 2009

A slapdash affair, with paper-thin plotting and characters more or less redeemed by some winning musical sequences.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 4, 2009

Two trips to the convent is one too many.

I hope what they all got paid made it worth the bother.

Enough already! Nun more, please. And "cute" is not the descriptive word here.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 3, 2007

Bouncy musical numbers and plenty of social concern, but the star, regrettably, is on autopilot.

| Jun 24, 2006

Unwatchable.
