Description:
Relive all the fun, laughter, and irresistible music of SISTER ACT -- the inspired comedy hit that packed pews everywhere! Whoopi Goldberg stars as a sassy, low-rent lounge singer forced to hide out from the mob in the last place on earth anyone would look for her -- a convent. While she's there, her irreverent behavior attracts a flock of faithful followers and turns the nuns' tone-deaf choir into a soulful chorus of swingin', singin' sisters. But when the group earns rave reviews, her sudden celebrity jeopardizes her hidden identity. Harvey Keitel and Kathy Najimy join a heavenly cast in this habit-forming comedy bursting with '60s Motown hits.

Amazon.com:
Whoopi Goldberg plays a Reno lounge singer who hides out as a nun when her villainous boyfriend (Harvey Keitel) goes gunning for her. Maggie Smith is the mother superior who has to cope with Whoopi's unorthodox behavior, but the cute script turns the tables and shows how the latter energizes the stodgy convent with song and attitude. A real crowd-pleaser and a perfect vehicle for Goldberg, this is a happy experience all around. --Tom Keogh

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent nun comedy!!
I first saw this movie back when my grandmother bought it on VHS in '92. For the first few minutes, I knew I was going to love this movie. It has become one of my favorites since then. Whoopi plays Deloris Van Cartier, who is a Las Vegas lounge singer whose boyfriend is in the local mob. She walks in and sees him killing a previous employer who went to report him to the police. Deloris gets scared immediately, runs away from Vince's (Harvey Keitel) buddies who are told to "take care of it", meaning ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - nuns have more fun :-)
I love "Sister Act" almost as much as I love Whoop! This movie is just tailor-made for Whoop, isn't it! Whoopi is totally perfect, and hilarious in every single scene. This is also a great movie that your entire family will enjoy because it is very wholesome and has a great upbeat message. Whoopi Goldberg gave a very Oscar-worthy performance just as she did in Ghost (another one of her best movies!) Perhaps the reason why she wasn't nominated though was because the role was too perfect, maybe the academy ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awasome movie!
Whoopi in a nun's outfit,!..Whaat?! this movie is a genious comedy, you laugh non stop, Maggie Smith is excellent, I love the 'Las Vegas' show of Delores at the beginning of the movie, is just the best!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - sister act
I am happy with the quality and the service that Amazon has given me since I have joined with them.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Whoopi's Perfect "Act"
It is no secret that Whoopi Goldberg is an amazing actress. "The Color Purple" anyone? But this is a more modern movie, a movie that anyone could appreciate.

Whoopi plays as Deloris Van Carier, a lounge singer who's married ex-boyfriend (and mobster) is trying to have her killed because she witnessed a murder. So when she goes to the police, they place her in a convent, knowing that no one will suspect to look for her there. At first, she is itching to get out. However, she is given the opportunity ...
