When Deloris van Cartier left the convent to return to her life in Las Vegas at the end of “Sister Act,” she thought her days in black and white were over. But in “Sister Act II,” she discovers she was wrong. The nuns from St. Catherine’s have taken teaching positions at St. Francis, a crumbling school in a despairing community. The sisters badly want to help these teenagers find their places in life and to have a chance at success, but all of the kids are world-weary and can’t see a way to accomplish their dreams. They’re running the nuns ragged with their bad behavior, and Sister Mary Clarence is needed to work her miracles yet again.
Deloris is reluctant to take on the job, but Mother Superior exercises a little heavenly guilt tactic, and so Deloris puts the habit back on. Father Maurice, the principal of the school, is told that she is a nun and also a teacher, which are both lies, but she pulled it off before. She can do it again.
The kids in the music class she’ll be teaching are rebellious and don’t want to learn. They try pulling a few tricks on her, but she catches on pretty quick and dishes it right back out. Soon she makes an amazing discovery – there are some kids in her class with remarkable voices, and she decides she’s going to form them into a choir. But the most talented girl in the bunch, Rita, is having issues with her mother, who doesn’t want her to sing.
The choir goes to the All-State Competition in hopes of saving the school. That’s right – the archdiocese has decided to close the school down. But Sister Mary Clarence believes if they can present themselves well at the competition, they can keep the school open. But how will they do it without their soloist?
I really enjoyed this movie. The first “Sister Act” always will be my favorite, but this sequel was a whole lot of fun and it was great to see the cast reassembled.
This film was rated PG for some crude language.
