Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit

Whoopi Goldberg is absolutely hilarious in this movie, but
the star of the show is definitely Lauryn Hill (she plays
Rita)At one stage in the movie, she reels off a rap as her
peers look on, it's absolutely fantastic and so is her
singing voice! So maybe at times it's a little corny but
it's definitely worth a watch, especially if you're a
Lauryn Hill fan!

THE BEST MOVIE ON EARTH!!!
I've seriously seen it AT LEAST 10 times! I love Alanna
Ubach as Maria. Lauryn Hill is also great. Since the movie,
I've always wished to go to such a school. Great songs. My
favorite is Joyful Joyful, Oh Happy Day and His Eye Is On
The Sparrow. It's definitely my favorite movie. But can
someone tell me what song the children are chanting in the
first classroom scene? 5 stars!

I found this movie inspiring. I have always wanted to be a
nun. Every one of my friensds think I look like Wendy
Makkena/Mary Robert. I have the bangs and everything.
I have her pictures and pictures from the movie all over my
locker. Im only 14 and that movie is my favorite.

I loved this film i've watched it over and over again. I
like the fact that it shows a typical teenage life with
teenage ralations. It shows affection and confidence. It
shows children willing to follow their dreams and save what
they love most 'school'. It shows alot of talent and
friendship and i'd recomend it to anyone.

I noticed that there is a sister act 3 but, can't find it
and somehow missed the movie. My husband and I love the
first and second movie. We would really like to see and buy
the 3rd one to make our collection complete. Anyone know
where I can find it???

4 STARS?! Not enough! AT LEAST 10**********! Sister Act &
Sister Act: Back In The Habit (2) are completely timeless.
With unforgettable Moments and Universally known
Soundtrack - they're already Legends! Let's hope the
Sisters of St. Katherines come back for one last round!

amber | 9:54 a.m. Dec. 18, 2005

i think it was a great movie, it is like one of those
movies that u have to watch again.

matthew | 6:42 a.m. Jan. 11, 2007

what can i say about sister act 1 and 2 well so good was
the 1st one tha the second took alot of matching,personally
i think it wasn't any where near as good as the original
but
was also a very good film,so that can only mean one
thing...the first one was world class.

johnny williams | 5:01 p.m. April 3, 2007

sister act 1 and 2 are my all time favourites and I'm a big
movie buff but they have so much meaning and great story
lines please please someone get a third sister act on the
go it wouldd make so much money and would be a classic if well
made!

Salome | 11:13 p.m. Aug. 5, 2007

Great films, but just to let all those know who keep
asking:-
THERE IS NO SISTER ACT 3
It is well reported that Whoopie goldberg was not keen to
do Sister Act 2 and it was only with Disney's agreement to
finance one of her other movies did she agree to do Sister
Act 2. Thus it is highly unlikely that sister act 3 will
come into being.
Added to this the actress, Mary Wickes, who plays one of
the main recurring charecters, Sister Mary Lazarus; passed
away in 1995. Her last role being released posthumously
was that of the voice of one of the gargoyles from
Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". Therefore adding to
the unliklyness of a further released.
Sorry guys. I loved both films too, but maybe a gap of 14
years is just too long to make a sequel.

Regards

Sal
