Deloris Van Cartier is a sassy lounge singer forced to hide out from the mob in the last place they'd expect to look - a quiet religious convent. There, her irreverent behaviour attracts a flock of faithful followers - and before long, she turns the nuns' tone-deaf choir into a soulful chorus of swingin', singing sisters. After earning great reviews, sudden celebrity jeopardises her hidden identity.

| 1:04:09 | Haha, being on TV when you’re supposed to be keeping a low profile. |
| 1:15:28 | “That’s what Diana Ross said!” |

Thoughts
This is another movie that I’ve seen before a long time ago, but I really couldn’t remember anything about it. I thought there was something to do with the choir but perhaps raising money for the convent or something? Of course not, this is all about the delectable Whoopi Goldbergy causing trouble wherever she does but being absolutely adorable at the same time. I love the tension between her and Maggie Smith’s character, these two need more screen time together!
It’s just a good movie, funny in places although not laugh out loud, really, and with some good songs. Although, My Guy being changed to My God is stuck in my head something chronic now. Thanks, choir.
Rating: 4 / 5
