Sister Act

Sister Act

A comedy drama film. 100 minutes. Released in 1992. Directed by Emile Ardolino. Starring Whoopi Goldberg. She became a world-wide star in the blockbuster. Her debut work is The Color Purple directed by Steven Spielberg in 1985.

It follows Deloris, a lover of the boss of mafia and a singer in a small club. She witnesses the boss committing a murder, runs away from him, hides herself in a convent at the police's suggestion, becomes the director of the choir which has been poor and causes a sensation with the members in the local area.

Whoopi Goldberg as Deloris was wonderful and charming. Her performance fascinated me especially when she comes to get along with the nuns and confronts the strict Reverend Mother played by Maggie Smith, who is famous as Professor McGonagall in the Harry Potter series. Then Harvey Keitel gave a steady performance as the boss.

Although it was a good movie, yet I could not come to like it that much maybe because I had expected that it would be as entertaining as The Blues Brothers.
