What happens

Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit is a 1993 American jukebox musical comedy film, directed by Bill Duke, and released by Touchstone Pictures. A sequel to the 1992 film Sister Act, it is loosely based on the life of Crenshaw High School choir instructor Iris Stevenson. The film follows Whoopi Goldberg reprising her role as Deloris Van Cartier, who returns to assist her nun friends in saving their struggling school. Maggie Smith, Kathy Najimy, Wendy Makkena, and Mary Wickes reprise their roles from the original film. While Sister Act 2 was a modest box office success, it was initially panned by critics compared to its predecessor. However, the film gained a devoted following over time, particularly for its energetic musical performances and uplifting themes. It starred Lauryn Hill in her breakout role, alongside Sheryl Lee Ralph, Alanna Ubach, and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Notable members of the film's choir include R&B singer Ryan Toby of City High and The War and Treaty singer Tanya Trotter. Gospel singer Erica Campbell of Mary Mary also appeared in the film as a member of the opposing choir. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
