This is another one of those dreary retreads about a bunch of kids with no faith in themselves, and about how an inspiring teacher coaches them into the State Finals, where they upset the snobs from the rich school.

It's kind of frightening that it took three writers to come up with this "plot".

Bouncy musical numbers and plenty of social concern, but the star, regrettably, is on autopilot.

It's clear that no one's creative juices were really flowing on this project. Not even trickling.

Sister Act 2: Back In the Habit is merely a rehash of the first film, with less wit and charm.

As for Goldberg herself, there is similarly little for her to do, and she looks bored.
