SISTER ACT 2:

BACK IN THE HABIT

Whoopi Goldberg, Kathy Najimy, James Coburn, Maggie Smith

Touchstone Pictures; Directed by Bill Duke

Rated PG; 106 minutes; 1993

Sequined chanteuse Whoopi Goldberg picks up an old habit for even more "nun–sense" in this hilarious sequel to SISTER ACT. Original stars Maggie Smith, Kathy Najimy, Mary Wickes, and Wendy Makkena return for even more fun as Goldberg dons her habit to go undercover as an inner–city school’s new music teacher. With a lesson plan these undisciplined delinquents will never forget, she is, once again dodging dogma and rockin' religion as she sets out to convert her "class from hell" into a hip–hop choir from heaven.
