WHOOPI GOLDBERG IS ICONIC!

Aaron Alexander, John Humphrey, and Tara Erickson react to Sister Act (1992), the smash-hit musical comedy that turned a convent choir into a Motown-inspired sensation. Directed by Emile Ardolino (Dirty Dancing) and produced by Touchstone Pictures, Sister Act became one of the highest-grossing comedies of its year and solidified its place as a comfort-movie classic. The film stars Whoopi Goldberg (Ghost, The Color Purple, The View) as Deloris Van Cartier, a Reno lounge singer who witnesses her mobster boyfriend Vince LaRocca (Harvey Keitel – Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs) commit murder. Placed in witness protection inside a struggling San Francisco convent, Deloris is forced to pose as “Sister Mary Clarence.” Under the watchful eye of Mother Superior, played by Maggie Smith (Harry Potter series, Downton Abbey), Deloris shakes up the rigid traditions of the church — especially when she takes over the hopelessly off-key choir. What follows are some of the most iconic musical-comedy moments of the decade, including the gospel-infused renditions of “Hail Holy Queen,” “My Guy (My God),” and the show-stopping finale performance of “I Will Follow Him.” The transformation of the choir, the culture clash between Deloris and Mother Superior, and the mob closing in on the convent create a perfect blend of heart, comedy, and high-energy musical numbers. The film also features standout performances from Kathy Najimy (Hocus Pocus, King of the Hill) as the shy but lovable Sister Mary Patrick and Wendy Makkena (A League of Their Own) as the soft-spoken Sister Mary Robert, whose vocal glow-up becomes one of the movie’s most uplifting arcs. We break down Whoopi Goldberg’s star power, Maggie Smith’s comedic timing, the cultural impact of the soundtrack, and whether Sister Act still hits as one of the most rewatchable ’90s comedies. Does it hold up as a timeless crowd-pleaser — or is it pure nostalgia? #SisterAct #WhoopiGoldberg #90sMovies #MovieReaction #MusicalComedy #MaggieSmith #ClassicMovies #ChoirScene #FeelGoodMovie #TaraErickson #JohnHumphrey #AaronAlexander #Reaction #ReactTo #MovieReview Think Like a Man Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/2xaLGFWmRHQ Diary of a Mad Black Woman Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/eTmGaRnZVBA CARS 3 Reaction: https://youtu.be/1MyoQy0kgIs Follow *Aaron Alexander* https://www.instagram.com/therealaaronalexander/?hl=en Follow *Tara Erickson:* https://www.youtube.com/@TaraErickson https://www.instagram.com/taraerickson/ https://twitter.com/thetaraerickson 0:00 Checking In! 1:41 Sister Act Reaction 37:00 HUEL 39:08 Sister Act Movie Reaction 1:07:59 Sister Act Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/prapermedia Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG Follow GREG On INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thegregalba PLAYLISTS: Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8

That is Whoopie really singing. Jenifer Lewis (who is right next to her on stage, in the casino) was her singing coach.

Sister Mary Robert's singing voice was done by Andrea Robinson, the rest of the nuns sing themselves.

There are several stages into becoming a nun. I'm guessing Mary Robert is either a postulant or a novice.

I’m so glad John was in on this reaction. He’s having a blast. They all are; but I just knew John would.
