Amazon.co.uk Review
Whoopi Goldberg returns in a gratuitous, poorly written sequel that contrives a reason to get her character back into Maggie Smith's convent. The "socially conscious" plot finds Goldberg being asked to relate to a bunch of street kids and pull them together into a choir. Since a bad guy is needed, the script grabs that old chestnut about a rich guy (James Coburn) preparing to close down the convent's school, and runs with it. The film is slow and unconvincing from start to finish, although co-stars Mary Wickes and Kathy Najimy get some good laughs, and the music is pretty spirited. --Tom Keogh

 The best sequel you're likely to find June 18, 2001

It must be said that this is the best sequel that you're gonna find. With a stunning cast, and Whoopi Goldberg returning in great comedy form, it's hard to go wrong. However unlikely the story may seem, it is very spirited, with a superb soundtrack including the impeccable voice of Lauryn Hill. And, yes, I too am a musician, but anyone can relate to the music, because it is so upbeat, and I most definately sing along as I'm sure everyone will and do.

Like most films starring Whoopi Goldberg this film doesn't dissapoint. Whoopi as Deloris becomes an undercover nun once again - this time in order to rehabilitate an awkward, urban school. I personally think this film has more appeal to young people than the first being quite inspirational, but doesn't quite live up to the first. However, it is still brilliant and I found it really interesting to see such famous faces as Jennifer Love Hewitt and Lauryn Hill (who steals the show) as teenagers. On DVD the film dissapoints with no extras but both the picture quality and sound is excellent. If you liked the first film or believe in hip-hoppy religious music as restorative - buy this now!
 Musical Sensation! January 11, 2005

This film really is very uplifting and pleasanlty simple. With a whitty storyline and colourful characters, Sister Act 2 is a great easy-to watch film. In this sequel, Whoopi Goldberg returns to save the day, pulling a group of troubled youths together through their mutual love for music. It is the musical aspect of this film that makes it shine, with the voice of Lauryn Hill being most poignant. Hill's troubled character's experiences during this film also offer hope for any aspiring singers or actresses, who's dreams are suppressed as a result of their parents or freinds lack of belief in their talents.
Overall this is a great all-round film and definately worth buying!
 A must for anyone that enjoyed the film February 5, 2000

I am a big fan of both the Sister Act films and purchased this CD the moment I saw it.The tunes are fab (such as "The Greatest Medley Ever Told" - the opening part of the film when Whoopi is flying around in a Nun's outfit in a Hotel) but those that I enjoyed most were the gospel songs "Oh Happy Day"; the grand finale "Joyful Joyful" (great if your system has good bass); and the wonderful "His Eye Is On The Sparrow" (with the powerful voice of Lauran Hill). These tracks have become a much loved part of my Gospel music selection.

This film is fab and rounds off the first just nicely (although I much preferred the first one).Although most people wanted a Sister Act 3 to come out, I think it would have spoiled these two so its a good thing they never. How could they have anyway without the essential role of the late Mary Wickes (Sister Mary Lazarus) who sadly passed away in 1995. On the whole - great cast, the greatest medley and one of the greatest actresses - Whoopi Goldberg. May the Sister Act films be remembered forever.
