It’s been a while since I have seen either of these films, but I’d forgotten just how much I enjoyed them. They are both ‘feel-good’ stories without the slush that other films seem to go in for (‘Under The Tuscan Sun’ please take note). Whoopie Goldberg delivers witty one liners with her usual charm and the music is actually very good. The story is pretty basic, involving a lounge singer (Whoopie) who witnesses a murder by her married lover. The police have to keep her protected and hidden until the trial date. She ends up in a convent and proceeds to cause mayhem among the unworldly sisters as well as training the dreadful choir into something decent. Of course they triumph over evil and everyone is happy.
In the second film Whoopie (Delores) is asked by the nuns to help out a failing school full of wild kids. She begins to teach them about music and singing and they are entered in a competition. They win, the school improves and hey guess what, everyone is happy.
Score Board: 10/10 Nice films with a dash of sisterly humour.
