      How to fit in

      When you are in an unfamiliar environment, don't shrink back, don't blindly refuse, but try to see his highlights, try to integrate into it, you may get unexpected results, this is what I saw in the film .

      Overall, it's a pretty light-hearted comedy. From a singer to a nun, there are bound to be many funny jokes and many psychological contradictions and struggles. However, after Delaunay really integrated into it, she found that the nun was not as rigid as she thought at the...

      light comedy

      Give it 4 and a half stars, it

      's a light comedy film, and the appearance of Kengbaobao is very cute. ^_^ When I

      was in class at New Oriental, a teacher believed in Christianity. He told us that the choir now has various forms of singing praises. Rock, blues and even hiphop.
      I went to Muentang once before and heard the choir sing praises, of course in the traditional way. This new form of singing is not necessarily good, maybe it can lead religion to a climax, maybe it...

      nuns are crazy

      "-"Hi, baby. "
      —"What's the matter, my dear." "
      First imagine such a scene, a group of nuns interspersed back and forth like black butterflies in the crowd of a nightclub, followed by a few murderous mafia chasing after them. At this time, the mafia boss told a nun about the previous The lines. What's even more amazing is that the mammy turned around and asked him the following lines in a serious manner.
      Apart from the lines, the music of this film is also excellent. If I...

      On the Pseudo-Musicality and the Ruined Others of "Nuns Are Crazy"

      "Nuns Are Crazy" (hereinafter referred to as "Nun"), as a blockbuster movie, really showed Whoopi Goldberg's acting skills and comedic talents. We should not forget that her performance in "The Ghost Story" earned her the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. However, returning to this film, as film critics, we cannot but be harsh and cautious.
          Emilie Adorino tells a music-related story, and critics tend to rave about the film's music. And when we take a closer look, in addition to...

      The whole film is dying, I wish the heroine was beaten to death. No matter how this villain sees her, it is also Shi Lezhi, and his subordinates are also silly and cute. Relying on the nun to set off, no wonder the IMDB6.3 score. One star for the fat and thin nun, and one star for the movie 26 years ago! !...

      A film with such a good reputation, I can make a living after watching it, it is not as good as I imagined. There is a single clue, the bold girl went to the monastery to hide from the disaster, and she would rather be quiet. The first three and two are...

      The baby and baby's mother are not at home, and they dominate the TV when they have time to eat. It looked good before. This time, I found the plot to be a little rough, but the music is really...

      The comedy in the early years is still good, and the songs in it are also very good, but Whoopi looks too... Later, her performance in the Oscars also made her known as the beast... The nun seems to be Gryffindor in Harry Potter. the dean...

      Filled with warmth in the farce, Whoopi Goldberg is so suitable for this role, using music to change the dreary atmosphere of the monastery, and activating God's servants with whimsy and vitality. Religious songs were cleverly adapted into pop music, and a group of nuns sang My God, which was impressive. Maggie Smith is so good she doesn't even have to...

    Movie quotes

    • Delores: [after Vince has sent Delores a purple mink coat] Well obviously Mr. LaRocca feels he can win me back by sending me this absolutely *fabulous* coat.

      Michelle: Put it on, put it on!

      Tina: It's beautiful.

      Delores: You see, some girls would fall for this but not me. I think I'll make him wait a while before I let him know that I...

      Michelle: What?

      Delores: [Showing a monogram stitched into the inside of the coat] Connie LaRocca. It's his wife's coat. The man gave me his wife's coat.

      Michelle: I don't believe this.

      Tina: Put it back on! It's yours now, you deserve it.

      Delores: No, I don't *deserve* it, I haven't *earned* it. You don't *earn* other peoples wife's fur coats, okay? I think it's time to just go upstairs, give it back to him and get the hell out of this dump.

    • Delores: [at her first choir rehearsal, the choir sings a chord badly with Mary Patrick singing an octave above everyone else] Okay! Okay! Okay! Very nice!

      [to Mary Patrick]

      Delores: Um, Sister, can you just slide over here, please? That's a powerful instrument you have there!

      Sister Mary Patrick: Thank you.

      Delores: But I think it's probably a good idea if we bring you down out of the rafters, everybody wants to be close to God, I'm just not sure you can do it vocally, so I need you to sing an octave below where you've been singing.

      Sister Mary Patrick: Okey-dokey!

      Delores: And Sister Mary Robert, can you just come, yeah, come on over. I noticed that you're moving your mouth but nothing's coming out so I'd like to hear just you by yourself if you don't mind. Sister Alma, can you give me an A please?

      [pause]

      Delores: ALMA! Check your battery. Can you give me an A please.

      [Mary Robert sings in a whisper]

      Delores: Okay, try this. Close your eyes. Visualize yourself in room full of people, lots of silverware, people talking loud, dropping stuff, drunks, women with trays going 'whadda ya gonna have?'. Your voice has to carry across the din, you have to get up over all of that to be heard in the back of the room where I'm sitting, listening, straining to hear you. Okay? Keep that in your mind while we do this.

    • Delores: You still haven't told me what she said?

      Vince: What who said?

      Delores: What who said. The one with the moustache, the one you're married to.

      Vince: You are so damn hot.

      Delores: And you are so full of it. You didn't tell her, did you? I knew it. I knew you weren't gonna tell her. I knew it.
