Director: Emile Ardolino
Cast: Whoopi Goldberg, Maggie Smith
Defining moment: Whoopi’s loose-living free spirit has to knuckle down to the rigorous demands of convent life.
White hot from an Oscar win for ‘Ghost’ and anticipating the next 20 years of song and dance-based TV light entertainment, Whoopi Goldberg stars in possibly the funniest nunsploitation soul-review chase comedy since Ken Russell’s ‘The Devils’. Having accidentally witnessed a mob hit, she’s forced to lay low in a San Fran nunnery, where she duly drops a 20-megaton sass bomb all over the place and before you can say, ‘Hey isn’t this all a bit racist and/or sacrilegious?’, she’s got a gaggle of nervy white nuns gospelling their way to the pulpit. An everyday story. David Jenkins
