	Movies - Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit

Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit is a 1993 movie starring Whoopi Goldberg, directed by Bill Duke, and released by Touchstone Pictures. It is a sequel to the successful 1992 movie Sister Act
. Most of the original cast reprise their roles in the sequel, including Dame Maggie Smith, Kathy Najimy, Wendy Makkena, and Mary Wickes. Like the original, Sister Act 2 contains several musical performances, which are integrated into the main plot.

In this movie Deloris Van Cartier, the singer played by Whoopi, is given the task of being the music teacher at a religious school with rowdy and noisy students. She organizes the music class into a successful gospel choir, and has them enter a competition.

It has historical significance as the first Hollywood blockbuster sequel entrusted to an African-American film director. It was also a breakout role for singer/actress Lauryn Hill. It also features Jennifer Love Hewitt before she became well known for her later roles in movies and television.

The movie is popular for its (often altered) gospel songs and R&B classics, such as "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" (Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell/Diana Ross), Dancing in the Street, "Stop! In the Name of Love" (The Supremes) and soul versions of church hymns such as "Joyful, joyful" and "Oh Happy Day".
