How can anyone NOT love this film?

Sister Act is definitely one of a kind. It's such a funny, heart-warming film with a good mix of action and comedy and some excellent music as well. I don't normally enjoy films that are driven by just one Hollywood star at the helm, but I have a weakness for Whoopi Goldberg and here she is simply divine as Deloris Van Cartier, a club singer thrown into a convent undercover to hide out from her mobster boyfriend who wants her dead. Of course, she doesn't fit in here so much of the comedy is drawn from Deloris finding it difficult to conform to the nun's holy ways. But sure enough, she finds solace with the choir, and turns them from awful to amazing in no time. The scenes with the choir are the high-points of this film, I guarantee you'll be dancing and singing around your living room to them. Whoopi never fails to disappoint, and is fantastic here. Maggie Smith is also very good as the Reverend Mother, and Harvey Keitel plays hard-man Vince just like you'd expect. Kathy Najimy, Wendy Makkena and Mary Wickes are all fabulous, each impress in their own special way, with Najimy's innocent and bubbly manner, Makkena's shy and withdrawing character but also possessing a great voice and Wickes' sarcastic but effective wit. Sister Act is just a great, great film, the sparkle and the magic never fade, no matter how many times you watch it. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and watch it yet again!
