Synopsis
Deloris Van Cartier is again asked to don the nun's habit to help a run-down Catholic school, presided over by Mother Superior. And if trying to reach out to a class full of uninterested students wasn't bad enough, the sisters discover that the school is due to be closed by the unscrupulous chief of a local authority.

Sister Act 2 is pretty much a mess. It takes forever to get on its feet and doesn’t make a lot of sense once it does. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
What's strange about Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit is that it abandons most of what people liked about the first movie and replaces it with a formula as old as the hills. - 40
Empire
While the kids may sing a storm when at last they get down to mixing Beethoven, gospel and rap, in the good clean fun department this is monumentally weak and derivative. - 40
Variety
Lacks the charm and buoyancy that made the first "Act" a mass-appeal hit - 40
TV Guide Magazine
A hastily assembled follow-up to the surprise smash hit of summer 1992, SISTER ACT 2 is a slapdash affair, with paper-thin plotting and characters more or less redeemed by some winning musical sequences. - 40
Los Angeles Times
Even by sequel standards, a minimal amount of creativity has gone into Sister Act 2, and not even the talents of its cast, including several likable young people, can compensate for this thrown-together feeling. - 33
Entertainment Weekly
To say the script is lame is to be charitable, but Whoopi’s irrepressible charm makes the nunsense watchable. Once again Hollywood doesn’t know when to leave well enough alone: Renting this sequel is like advancing a grade and getting last year’s teacher. - 30
The New York Times
The sequel suffers from a lame, saccharine premise and a fatally earnest manner.
