Sister Act

Trailer

Why watch this film?

One of the great classics of afternoon TV! With lots of sweetness, humor and heart, the movie features a witness (Whoopi Goldberg in one of her most famous roles) who hides in a convent - and, in the process, leads the choir of the institution. Light-hearted, it's one of those movies to watch in agreement (and, if possible, sing along to the big hits like 'My Guy', 'Rescue Me' and 'Oh Happy Day').

Plot summary

Whoopi Goldberg stars as a sassy, low-rent lounge singer forced to hide out from the mob in the last place anyone would ever 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 60's Motown hits.
