Sister Act
*Sister Act* is a wonderfully funny film that showcases the acting skills of Whoopi Goldberg, who can pull off comedy solely with her facial expressions. It reminded me of the more recent Pitch Perfect movies, where teenagers compete to be the best a cappella group. Here, it’s a choir of nuns in San Francisco who, until Goldberg arrives, are singing completely out of tune. Whoopi is hiding in the convent because her ex-boyfriend wants to kill her. Now with time on her hands, and after some initial challenges in the convent, she becomes the choir leader with wonderful results. If you enjoy comedy and music, this is a film that will lift your holiday spirits.
