YMMV / Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit

Go To

  • Ass Pull: The Finale. Specifically, the reactions of the Archdiocese at the end of the film don't match their reactions during the musical number by a long shot.
  • Cliché Storm: The sequel's plot is basically the quirky teacher that the strict authority figures don't get her style of teaching, but she helps the troubled inner city students believe in themselves, then proves all the stuck up authority figures wrong, and saves the school from the corrupt corporate executive, by winning a choir contest.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The class chanting 'FUSION, FUSION, FUSION' becomes even funnier when you realise that one of the students is played by Deedee Magno Hall, who would later have a starring role in Steven Universe, where the concept of 'fusion' is a major plot point.
  • Older Than They Think: Mary Wickes (Sister Mary Lazarus) was in a hit film about nuns AND its sequel almost 20 years previously!
  • Retroactive Recognition: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Alanna Ubach and Deedee Magno-Hall all have small roles in this sequel.
  • Values Dissonance: When Deloris introduces herself as the new music teacher, and Frank-ay sarcastically replies with a Yo Mama joke, she turns it around on him — "No, sir. Let's talk about your mama, who's so dumb, she got hit by a parked car." At the time, this was Played for Laughs. Nowadays, a teacher would never get away with making such a joke to a student, no matter how humorous and light-hearted it may be.
