Tampa Bay TimesRick Gershman
Sister Act 2's other saving grace comes from its positive messages of hard work and responsibility, and a thoughtful, though underwritten, subplot about a talented student (Lauryn Hill) and her strict mother (Sheryl Lee Ralph). [10 Dec 1993, p.7]

The Seattle TimesJeff Shannon
Pathetically uninspired. [10 Dec 1993, p.G3]

While the kids may sing a storm when at last they get down to mixing Beethoven, gospel and rap, in the good clean fun department this is monumentally weak and derivative. Read full review

Lacks the charm and buoyancy that made the first "Act" a mass-appeal hit Read full review
