Dumb and formulaic comedy in which trashy Whoopi Goldberg and a bunch of nuns teach each other life lessons. It couldn't be more predictable if it tried. |

This is a comedy built around as silly premise, but it carries itself with charm, wit, and energy. The music is also a standout that makes the film worth watching. |
