Summary: A very funny film
Review: Sister Act 2 is a very good film. It's funny, have good actors and is very exciting. The adventures of Deloris are fantastic and the young actors are fantastic: Jenifer Love Hewitt and Lauryn Hill (Fugees) are very good. Buy it. END

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better than the first!
Review: Sister Act 2 is uhh Wow! Its fun...it makes you wanna get up and dance! The music in this movie is much better than the first! Buy it/Rent it/SEE IT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Superb Preformance
Review: Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit is one of the best productions I have seen. Whoopi Goldberg fits her charactor perfectly and Lauryn Hill is super. I especially enjoy the music in this perticular video. This is a story about faith and determanation. I think everyone should see this film.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Re-defines term "Ripp-Off of the Original"!
Review: The first "Sister Act" was a gem compared to this polished rhinestone of a sequal! The lackluster story and inferior acting make this movie almost painful to watch. Whoopi Goldberg returns as the street-wise lounge singer who comes back to the convent that had given her protection from the mob in the first film. This time Whoppi's "loving advice" helps troubled teens bounce back from what could have been a series of wrong turns on the road of life. Cute? It's been done many times, and much better than here! This film is a loser!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: the effort shows here--in a really bad way!
Review: The first Sister Act was great--You're supposed to see the movie, to get into the characters/storyline. I did that w/the first one. Not in this second--all I saw was the effort.

The basic plot is the same as the first ("saving" the kids the way whoopi's character was "saved"; the mafia still chasing after whoopi's character).

zzzzzzz.....

Enjoy the first Sister Act and be happy. (btw--the kids don't sing. They do hiphop and rapping at the end of movie. Rapping, for those who don't know the difference, is not singing. Sorry folks!)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better Singing
Review: The movie is about on par with the original (SA1), but the singing quality is better and certainly more upbeat. We got both, but only kept SA2. Although the story in SA1 is a little more original, we watched it a couple times and that was that. On SA2, though, we will probably keep watching it. Not to mention that we got the soundtrack for SA2 and my wife uses it to practice as a warmup before her solo singing performances.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What it's REALLY about is...
Review: This is a great film, and people who know how to connect with real folks understand that. For people who aren't raising teens or who just don't connect with kids, this movie may at first glance be trite and uninteresting. Take another look, because kids really CAN do this--it isn't just a cool idea for a film. What tugs the heart is watching it happen (plus the music is terrific). A variation on "To Sir With Love" or "Mr. Holland's Opus" or "Finding Forrester" or "October Sky"? Sure, I guess. But WHY do producers and directors keep creating these great films, and WHY do we keep loving them? In a time when the government wants us to hold schools and teachers "accountable" for the demise of our youngsters and our society, these stories show us what MANY real teachers--and students--are doing, and it gives us hope. Watch this movie and let these kids be real to you. Just knowing where your kids are and what they are doing isn't enough. Somebody (you?) will have to be there for them. THEN something good can happen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Definatly Better than the prequel!
Review: This is a wonderful movie filled with great singing, and many, many laughs. Lauryn Hill and Ryan Toby are wonderful singers and light this movie up. Whoopi Goldberg as always, is a scream. A definate must see.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must See!!!
Review: This is an absolutely great movie! I don't know which is better, the music or the movie, but the music alone would make just about any movie worth it. Even if you hated Sister Act 1 (which I loved), you should at least rent this one for the music parts. I actually saw this one first - it got me hooked and I went back and watched the first one. I'm going to get the soundtrack as soon as I get some money. :) (I'm a college student = I'm broke)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Critics are HATERS!
Review: This is one of the greatest movies ever! The critics just don't understand it. This is a classic kids movie, and you still like it when you get older. So what if it doesn't make any shocking statements? It's FUN!!! (ducktape...HELLO) The music is great and so is the acting. Lauryn Hill is in it; you can't go wrong with that! Not only that, but remember the scene where the kid sings "When Jesus Washed" and he gets all high? of course you do! Everyone does. How many movies can you name that have a scene that EVERYONE knows?

Yes, the movie is far-fetched, but that's true of all movies. Bottom line, the movie is enjoyable if you take it for what it is: fun, mindless, HARMless entertainment.
