This is like if *A Serious Man* were a comedic Italian short film about a group of girls in a Catholic boarding school over Christmas during wartime.
It's cute and I liked it and I stand by what I said.

There's a part early on in the movie where the main character puts her phone face-up on a somewhat large glass coffee table and then does lines of coke off the screen of her phone.
Girl, you had the whole table.
Oh! Also, the movie isn't good at all.
1.5 stars.

First, Austin B. was fantastic!
Second, Tom H. really looked weird.
Third, I watched this in French with no subtitles, so I got the gist, but not all of it.
Fourth, based on that gist, I think better titles would've been *The Colonel and the King* or *Presley and Parker*, but what do I know - I don't speak French.

I haven't watched either Sister Act in forever, so I ended up watching both of them back-to-back, and this first one...man, it holds up!
It's a ludicrous, fish-out-of-water scenario and everyone's playing their part perfectly.
This is cinema.

I haven't watched either Sister Act in forever, so watching them back-to-back seemed like a good idea. This may have been a slight disservice to Sister Act 2, however; the first Sister Act is so good and the sequel just is not.
