Review of Sister Act (1992) by Clem666 — 04 May 2023
An iconic pop culture feature with a funny cast.
Obviously this is not a movie known for its scenario, its construction and the evolution of characters... I have to agree with Angie Errigo from 'Empire' on this one : the plot is mind-numbing and jerky (as the first chanting part with Sister Mary Clarence already is a triumph of childish naivety), charcters are one-dimensioned, the jokes are just obscene.
Interesting acting skills from Kathy Najimy (Sister Mary Patrick) and Wendy Makkena (Sister Mary Robert) who appear as two sidekicks for a stroy based itslef on a joke. Good performance also for Maggie Smith (Mother Superior) but who could have been more highlighted if she had not played the famous role she will later take on in the saga 'Harry Potter'.
I can't deny the epic ending and the splendour of singing scenes.
There may not be much more to expect than 100 minutes of mindless entertainment.
