Trivia:
The Reno police station shown is actually the main post office in downtown Reno, with some (real) patrol cars parked outside for set dressing. The patrol cars were driven by officers working security on the set. The real police station in Reno didn't look as much like a police station to the film's director.

Quotes:
[first lines]
[in a classroom in 1968]
Nun: Who can name all the apostles? Yes, Deloris?
Little Delores: John, Paul, George... and Ringo!
[the children laugh]
Nun: Deloris Wilson, you are the most unruly, disobedient girl in this school! Now, I want you to march right up to that blackboard and write the names of all the apostles alphabetically.
[Little Deloris walks up to the blackboard and writes "John, Paul, Peter" and "Elvis" in big letters, underlined. The children laugh again]
Nun: This is enough! You are hopeless, and I wash my hands of you. Mark my words, Deloris. If you continue on this disruptive track, it will lead straight to the devil. Have you any idea what girls like you become?

If you ask me, SISTER ACT is an excellent comedy about the power of friendship. It really made me feel good and smile, especially when the nuns were performing and the bad guys were shown. Also, the soundtrack is really good, too. The best thing about it, if you ask me, is the nun's songs. My favorite one is "I Will Follow Him." The casino scenes were fun, too. If you want to know what made them great, it was all the bright lights, machines, and people, especially the people at the roulette wheel. Now, in conclusion, if you like Whoopi Goldberg films, I highly recommend this movie. You're in for a good time and lots of laughs, so see this movie today.
