Sister Act

Sister Act is a 1992 comedy movie starring Whoopi Goldberg. Whoopi plays a Reno lounge singer who witnesses a murder committed by her gangster boyfriend (Harvey Keitel). She is placed in a witness protection program, which for some reason involves her joining a convent, despite the objections of the Mother superior (Maggie Smith). The singer-turned-nun (now known as Sister Mary Clarence) befriends an optimistic nun (Kathy Najimy) and transforms the choir, leading a crowd-pleasing cover of “My Guy” by Motown singer Mary Wells (with the lyrics changed to “My God.”) A massive box office hit, the movie was followed by a sequel subtitled “Back in the Habit.” Sister Act was adapted into a Tony-nominated Broadway musical in 2011 starring Patina Miller (and then Raven-Symoné) in the lead role.
