Disappointing Sequel
22 July 2008
Warning: Spoilers
I much enjoyed "The Trouble With Angels," however, I found the sequel to be quite disappointing. For one thing, the movie was composed of two main elements: 1) serious conversations between Sister George and Mother Superior that were very boring and 2) silly and stupid episodes of the girls' pranks and misadventures. While similar episodes were quite fun and humorous in "The Trouble With Angels," none of the scenes in this movie are nearly as entertaining, and none of the actresses are as good as the original two. One example is when "Indians" from a movie shoot start attacking their bus, and the girls and sisters throw bags at them and fight them off. Another problem is that the song, "Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows" is played not only at the beginning and end of the movie, but also is the only song played throughout the entire score and the only song the band plays at a dance the St. Francis girls attend. The main problem, however, is that the entire movie revolves around a road trip that Mother Superior, the Sisters, and select St. Francis girls take, to get to a youth rally. Nearly all the conversation in the movie is about the rally, however, we never see them actually get to the rally. The movie ends with a voice-over saying "Yes, we made it to the rally, and it was quite the beneficial experience for all of us," or something along those lines. All in all, Trouble With Angels fans may get a few smiles from this sequel, but do not expect a family classic!
