Little Delores: John, Paul, George... and Ringo!

Trivia
When the marquee for the Moonlight Lounge is first shown at the beginning of the movie, the featured band name is the "Ronelles." In the scene where the nuns are going to rescue Sister Mary Clarence, the featured name of the band (with Deloris gone) is the "Leerons" (Ronelles rearranged and minus one L). See more »Goofs
When Sister Mary Clarence/Dolores is escaping from Joey and Willy, towards the end of the film, she is shot at. We hear the shot but, although the pistol is on screen at the same time, we don't see it being fired. See more »Quotes

This movie is very entertaining, even if you know what is going to happen the entire time. The singing is glorious and the cast is up for anything. Whoopi is terrific and funny - so is Kathy Nijimy. It's definately worth seeing, at least once.
