This is not the best movie of all times. But it is one of my very favourite ones. Every time I see this movie, I want to join that convent. And I'm not even a christian. Okay, so the plot is not too credible. And neither are the characters. So the story is predictable. So what? This does what a feel-good movie is supposed to do: it makes you feel good. It makes you believe that everything will turn out fine, that true friendship conquers all and that we'll all end up as rejoicing seraphim. Of course, it also has two of my favourite actresses: Whoopi Goldberg and Maggie Smith, on opposite sides of the table. Whatever they touch turns to gold. Or at least, gold-plated. This film is just a lot of fun, no higher aspirations, no deeper meaning. Just an enjoyable afternoon, which will leave little of its story-line in your head, but most of its songs. Which is also a good thing.
