"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Sister Act | 1992 | PG | - 1.2.0
Whoopi Goldberg plays a struggling lounge singer who accidentally walks in on her mobster boyfriend during a murder. Offered police protection, Goldberg must hide out in a convent, and Goldberg ends up with the task of leading the convent's faltering choir.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - No nudity. One sex scene in which it is clear two characters have had sex, but nothing is shown. A few references to sex.
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - One scene in which a man is shot, but no blood is shown. Some shooting and car chases. In one scene, Goldberg slugs two thugs in the groin.
LANGUAGE 0 - None.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - An extra-marital affair, a murder by mobsters, light-hearted fun poked at Catholicism.
MESSAGE - It's made clear that Goldberg may need the convent for more than protection. "God has brought you here," says the Mother Superior. As it turns out, however, the convent needs Goldberg as much as she needs them.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
