A silly, harmless star vehicle for Whoopi Goldberg--sort of nuns on the run.

Terribly unfunny musical-comedy with nails-on-blackboard performances

Why is this movie so popular? I've always wondered that. It seems like you can find it somewhere on TV at any time of the day. This movie isn't bad, it's just not that good. Goldberg just isn't that funny, and there are a lot of better movies similar to this one anyway.
