Yeah, I know you emphasized the "great", I believe you think i may have overlooked it. I'm just simply saying the "but" part shouldn't matter, that's all...

You're the only person I have ever heard of who saw NUNS ON THE RUN.

I really like Nuns on the Run, but I don't remember the part about the singing choir, which is a major plot line in TSA. Delores is not a bad guy hiding, she is being hid. There is very little time spent in TSA with crime elements. The major running time is the plot of Delores having culture shock of becoming a nun and developing a modern choir and bringing this older order into the 21st century. The crime element takes up very little of the plot.

If you ask me, the writers may have gotten their original idea from NotR, but they ended up as two very different films.

To each their own...opinion

Sorry but there's no similarity! Sister Act is a film about a witness who is hidden in a convent, she transforms their lives as much as they transform hers...the end. Nuns on the run is about two thieves trying to keep their cover from being blown...the end.
