"It's funny, the little things you end up remembering from your childhood. For example, whenever I would go visit my grandmother, I knew to expect two things: First, there would definitely be Rice Krispies treats waiting for me; and second, she would have two VHS tapes available for me to watch. One was the 1994 live-action film of The Jungle Book; the other was the 1992 musical comedy, . And while both movies were great, Sister Act soon became a tried-and-true favorite"
"When I watched this as a kid, I always harbored a little resentment toward Smith's head nun. From my perspective, she seemed mean, cruel even, to both Sister Mary Clarence and her fellow nuns. What did she have against music? Why couldn't she embrace this fun and exciting change that was helping to engage the community and bring members back to the church?"
A childhood routine included visits to a grandmother who offered Rice Krispies treats and two VHS tapes, one being Sister Act, which became a favorite. Whoopi Goldberg's Deloris transforms a convent choir with unorthodox methods and energetic music, revitalizing the church community and entertaining viewers across ages. A rewatch as an adult shifts perception of Mother Superior from seeming mean to being protective and responsible. Her resistance stems from concern for the nuns and the institution rather than malice, reflecting tensions between innovation and duty, generational perspective, and leadership responsibilities within a community.
