Product 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. desertcart.com Sister Act 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 Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit Whoopi Goldberg returns in a gratuitous, poorly written sequel that contrives a reason to get her character back into Maggie Smith's convent. The "socially conscious" plot finds Goldberg being asked to relate to a bunch of street kids and pull them together into a choir. Since a bad guy is needed, the script grabs that old chestnut about a rich guy (James Coburn) preparing to close down the convent's school, and runs with it. The film is slow and unconvincing from start to finish, although costars Mary Wickes and Kathy Najimy get some good laughs, and the music is pretty spirited. --Tom Keogh Review: For the win - Classic!

THE SISTERS BOOGIE ONTO BLURAY
Sister Act & Sister Act 2 make their impressive Blu Ray debut in this three disc set. The picture and audio quality on Sister Act is wonderful, boasting a very clean and detailed transfer and room filling sound. The picture quality does not disappoint, the ONLY thing I noticed was a bit of crushing in the scene after Whoopi witnesses the killing of her boyfriends limo driver and goes on the run being chased by her boyfriends right hand men. Some really nice extras are also included. Sister Act 2 on the other hand boasts a good tranfer with equally good audio as it's predecessor, but the picture quality is not as good as Sister Act. Generally the picture is not as sharp and there is more crushing present than there is on the original film, but overall the quality is solidly GOOD. This is the best both films have ever looked, and in full 1080, probably the best they will ever look. The only reason I gave this set 4 stars and not five is because the three discs consist of ONE Blu Ray with both films on it and TWO DVDs. I would have much preferred two Blu Rays and one double feature DVD. But all in all, if you are a fan of these films, an upgrade to Blu Ray (especially when you get both on Blu and on DVD) is a no-brainer!

Two of the Best Films for Foster Children (And Adults)!
Personally, I love these films. They're filled with talented, incredibly funny women who are clearly having a good time. Kathy Najimy, Mary Wickes, Maggie Smith...AND Whoopi Goldberg? What an incredibly deep ensemble! It almost seems too good to be true! It just gets better with Sister Act 2, and one of the best parts of that film is that it's easy for a viewer to forget it's a movie and get caught up rooting for the young musicians and their incredible music. These films have power. They touch people spiritually in a deeply positive, loving way. The message is clear and simple: "If you want to be somebody, if you want to go somwhere, you've got to wake up and pay attention!" And, never stop believing in yourself, add a little faith and a whole lot of creative humor! Years ago I watched my temporary foster son, while recovering from incredible abuse, relax and smile while watching these films. Later, he invited several friends over and made them watch too. It was a magical thing that I can't fully explain, but it was about heart. (His other favorite film was Howard the Duck, by the way). Thank you ladies, for the incredible gift of these two films. I'm sure many of us feel eternally grateful!

This set has been out for a while; I had seen both movies but had never purchased it. But they are so delightful, and well worth viewing again! It's great to have both videos in one package, and the price is good! I especially like the clip in video 1 where the choir sings some up-beat selections - people start coming in off the streets, and then when the priest is so excited, they nuns begin acts of kindness and friendship in the streets! I recommend this to anyone who wants not only entertainment but an example of putting faith into action. Sure, more could be said, but hey, this is a movie for general production. And Christians can learn from it!
