Whoopi was great in this movie. Loved the inspiration she gave to the nuns and the way she helped them get their groove on. I like movies with good music and talent in it. This was my type of movie. Made me laugh, made me cry, and made me want to get up there on screen with them and sing and dance. I would love to go to Mass with music like that!!...

Whoopi Goldberg is great in Sister Act as lounge singer on the run from the mob who seeks protection as a nun in a convent. While the "fish out of water' aspect of Goldberg's character adjusting to the convent provides plenty of comedy, the music is the star of the movie. The nun choir provides plenty of entertainment as they sing "I Will Follow Him" and other songs. Kathy Najimy is very funny as the perky nun, and Wendy Makkena is adorable as the shy nun. The movie also has a lot of suspense as the mob is on the hunt.

Extras on the DVD include a music video of "If My Sister's in Trouble" by Lady Soul. That is one of the background songs of the movie. There's also an Easter egg which can be found on the Internet. Easter eggs are hidden features on DVDs. Bette Midler was supposed to play the lead role, but Goldberg definitely made the role her own.

ChrisJarmick says "Whoopi and Najimy's funny act -- Family Film" about Sister Act 1992

Sister Act has some funny lines and Whoopi Goldberg's energy and performance makes the film seem far better than it really is.

Whoopi plays a lounge singer in Reno who happens to witness a murder. Her boss Harvey Keitel orders her killed. Whoopi runs to the police and is hidden in a convent by the witness protection program. But before you know it, Whoopi is the leader of the nun's choir and teaching the nuns how to be down and be funky.

There are lots of problems with this movie but thanks to Whoopi and Kathy Najimy as Sister Mary Patrick and the presence of Harvey Keitel, you probably won't care too much...

I say probably because I did see that there could be a much better movie here than what we get. The director doesn't seem to have a flair for comedic timing and almost sabotages Whoopi a few times with his over-long static shots that at times constrain the comedy and can't seem to keep up with Whoopi or Najimy' energy.

There's a few intense moments that might be...
