The first Sister Actmovie became a classic by introducing viewers to one of the most iconic scammers in cinema history: Deloris Van Cartier, aka Sister Mary Clarence (Whoopi Goldberg). The personnel change doesn't result in any noticeable change in tone or quality; the high school setting and young street-smart cast distinguish this film from the predecessor that leaned heavily on the contrast between Whoopi Goldberg and monastic living. Her later career is marked by controversies, including her penchant for showing up to live-shows hours late. When they break into spontaneous, synchronized singing, Mary Clarence is inspired to turn them into a choir. It includes behind-the-scenes footage, film clips, and on-set interviews with director Emile Ardolino and actors Mary Wickes, Kathy Najimy, Wendy Makkena, Whoopi Goldberg, Eugene Graytak ("The Pope"), and Bill Nunn (but oddly not Maggie Smith or Harvey Keitel). I am better suited to appreciating this film than first-time viewers because it was one of around five movies that filled up a long play VHS cassette during a Free HBO Weekend sometime around the end of 1994. qacct:"p-caylC79f5NIGI" At the time of Sister Act 2's release in December 1993, Hill had already co-founded the band the Fugees with Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel, and the year after, the band released their first album. //2012-10-25: full-sized Touchstone review, 1990s
