I enjoyed the movie "The Trouble with Angels." The story of 2 trouble-making girls who, after 3 years of attending St. Francis boarding school, are drawn to the religious life. A very nice movie.
So, I thought we should try watching the sequel "Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows." Oi vey! One of the worst movies I have seen in a long time. Set in '69, it was about a new nun at St. Francis who tries her best to convince the sisters to embrace the change that's happening in the world. (The beginning scene is this nun marching at a peace rally.) The main story is the girls traveling to a inter-faith rally. Eventually, the hippie sister convinces even the "old-fashioned" mother superior, and the last scene shows the sisters' new habits which consist of shorter skirts, better-fitting tops, and shorter veils which allow them to reveal their newly dyed red, curly hair. Lovely. The habits looked like something Hillary Clinton might wear.
GAH!
