Storyline

Brian and Charlie (B & C) work for a gangster. When the boss learns they want to "leave", he sets them up to be killed, after they help rob the local Triads of their drug dealing profits. B & C decide to steal the money for themselves, but when their escape doesn't go to plan, they have to seek refuge in a Nuns' teacher training school. Disguised as nuns, B & C have to avoid their boss, Triads, police and Brian's girlfriend. There's also the problem of them being men disguised as nuns in an all women institution. Written by Rob Hartill

As Good As A Fish Called Wanda
3 June 1999 | by (Vancouver, BC Canada) – See all my reviews

This one didn't have the marketing push that A Fish Called Wanda had. Still it's as good a comedy and worth watching
