Ratings by Chuck Vlinch a a a a a by no Vlf to Barnard Hughes James Coburn and whoops Goldberg have a predictable run in in sister act 2 Back in the habit Chuck Vinch staff write Ron Movik Slater act 2 Back in the habit rated pair too must so 00 Worth your time passable entertainment. Coming soon to a video outlet near you and you can wait whoops Goldberg goes Back into the Habyl for this Sappy fol1owup to last years Surprise hit but any moviegoer with an ounce of sense should find this an easy habit to break. Lets Hope so or Well have to suffer through untold numbers of future sequels after sister act 2 Buck in the habit. Goldberg returns As Las vegas showgirl Deloris Van Cartier. In the original three giggly nuns Kathy Najimy Mary Wickes and Wendy Falkena helped her hide out in their Convent to escape from her mobster Boyfriend. The sequel opens with Deloris in skin tight red sequins and goofy hair performing her Headliner show in Las vegas topped off by a Tacky Mother of Alt medleys number that should make All motown cringe. After the show she a greeted by the Good Sisters who have come to visit with solemn news a the High school where they now teach located in a deteriorating san Francisco neighbourhood is in rapid decline. They need Deloris. Well its never really made Clear just Why they need Deloris. But sooner than you can recite a Hail Mary she has Given up her promising career As an entertainer to go Back undercover As the schools new music teacher. Her class is the usual Rainbow assortment of adorable smart Alecks whose Only goats in life seem to be perfecting their raps and trading a a to mama insults. More bad news follows when the schools Board of trustees informs the principal father Maurice Barnard a Hugh Sand school administrator or. Crisp James Coburn that it has decided to close the school at the end of the current semester. What ensues is a papal version of Fame As Deloris uses her supposedly infectious spirit to rally the school from the Depths of despair. Along the Way she also teaches the kids about taking responsibility acting maturely and being your own person not to mention the spiritual Virtues of rap music. Maybe we should Start calling her St. Whoops screenwriters James Orr and Jim Cruikshank who Are also the perpetrators of such Pap As three men and a baby and or. Wonderful can to even bring this script up to the mediocre level of their previous films. There Isnit one memorable line. What few jokes there Are tend to run along the lines of sister Mary Patrick Najimy describing the culinary skills of the schools German chef whose sole specially is sausage a bratwurst live Wurst Bie Wurst a its the worst Quot she giggles. To quote that late great statesman Ralph a Ramdon Quot har it Jehar har Quot on the other hand if you think the idea of a group of nuns grooving to get up offa that thing is witty then maybe this is your film after All. Personally i found that a scary concept. To make matters worse some aspects of the Story Are More confusing than Ross Perot s explanation of the deficit. One subplot seems to have something to do with or. Crisps personal interest in closing the school so he can take Early retirement. This entire plot thread a classic example of director Bill Dukes convoluted style makes no sense at All. Coburn must be dead broke or utterly without shame a or maybe both a to stoop to taking such a role. The film s sole us salvation is the production numbers that unfortunately Don t Start coming until late in the movie. The kids characters Are one dimensional and not terribly interesting but when they get together and perform the film acquires a magic that is sorely lacking in All other respects. Critics described the Surprise Success of the original sister act As  i managed to avoid that one but i can say with certainty that the most fitting word to describe this sluggish Slapdash sequel is  sister act 2 Back in the habit gets one Star solely for the production  12 sunday december 19, 1993
