Movie Reviews of Sister Act / Sister Act 2 - Back in the Habit
Movie Review: Heavenly
Summary: 5 Stars
Sister Act- The funniest out of the two. In a day and age where most plots are old hat, this is a bit refreshing (though done in 1992). Like The Blues Brothers (who make an almost impossible to see cameo at the end), this isn't a traditional musical in the sense that the songs advance the plot. Instead, Motown hits of the 60s are redone to be more Gospel-esque. Whoopi Goldberg is hilarious as Deloris, some of my favorite moments with her are the dinner scene, when she's trying to fit into convent life and at the bar. Kathy Najimy has always been one of my favorites ever since I saw her in Hocus Pocus. Like Goldberg and Mary Wickes (I love her deadpan wit), hers are the funnier moments of the film. Her perkiness is what makes the character funny, especially her scenes at the bar and during the montage. Wendy Makkena is good as the young Mary Robert and I used to love that her character really comes into her own voice but then I was disappointed that she was dubbed for her performances. Maggie Smith's Mother Superior is also another character that experiences change. From her hermit, tradition holdings stance at the beginning to actually caring about Deloris to risk her life to save her in the end is touching. Harvey Keitel is pretty much your basic Italian mob boss. Other than that, I really have no problems with this otherwise uplifting funny movie. Can't believe they made a stage show based on this. Oh well, can't be any worse than any of the Disney adaptations. 5 stars.
Sister Act II: Back in the Habit- Though a favorite, it doesn't rank as high as the first. I give it credit for being original but a few things were plot points taken directly from the first, like Mary Clarence teaching a student to sing louder. Sound familiar? At least there is a different ending than the first, though the ending is rather predictable if you've seen "underdog" films. The return cast members still have the same chemistry that made the original memorable. The younger cast is again my problem. There are just too many teen actors. You have the main ones, who are good singers and have on-again, off-again good acting. Look for a very young Jennifer Love Hewitt (in the credits, Love has "" around it). The songs are great, the ones featuring the younger cast are given a hip-hop/rap edge to them. The opening song is one of the longest-medley's I've heard comprising of several recognizable songs (including two from the first). Aretha Franklin's hit song A Deeper Love is featured during the end credits. A worthy follow-up and thankfully (hopefully is probably a better word) there won't be Sister Act III because I don't know how they could pull that off. 4 stars.
