The sisters come back to Deloris' (Whoopi Goldberg's) show to get her back as Sister Mary Clarence to teach music to a group of students in their parochial school, which is doomed for closure. One of the girls, Rita Watson (Lauryn Hill), who is the most talented of the bunch, is forbidden to sing by her mother, Florence Watson (Sheryl Lee Ralph), although the choir has made it to the state championship. A group of monks tries to stop them.Written by

Jenifer Lewis (Vegas Backup Singer #1) appeared in Sister Act (1992) as Michelle, one of Deloris' back-up singers in their Reno, Nevada lounge act "The Ronelles". As she briefly displays the same annoyance with her fellow singers during the Las Vegas act, as she did as a member of the Ronelles, it's safe to assume she's playing Michelle, despite her character not receiving a name in the credits.

Delores Van Cartier performs the final show of her engagement in Las Vegas in the evening, and afterwards while she and the nuns are relaxing, Sr Mary Lazarus lets her know that they have to be on the road tonight back to San Francisco, as it is a school day tomorrow, saying she must come with them. The footage of the journey shows the school bus and Delores' vehicle in broad daylight over the Golden Gate Bridge, and when they arrive at St Francis school. See more »

Alternate Versions
In most TV broadcasts, the ending sequence of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" is chopped off in order to keep the movie in its two hour time slot. See more »
Compared to most sequels, this is in the top 20. But as for comparison to the first, there is almost no relation. The first was a good movie. Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit does not compare to most movies. Some cheap independent films, if well acted, are better. But some commercial movies are worse than this movie. It had no great acting. Some things were funny. But why didn't the nuns sing again? That would seem most logical to do in this film. And kids? Ok, I guess. But the story line could be changed, and then everything re-vamped, without the practically psychotic men from the monastery, and you have a great movie.
