Sister Act is a 1992 film about a singer named Deloris Van Carter, directed by Emile Ardolino. While Deloris is in Las Vegas trying to kick off her singing career, she is having an affair with a man named Vince.  One evening, the singer accidentally walks in on a murder taking place with Vince being the one ordering another man to kill another man.  Not knowing what to do, she runs from the room and files a report.  She is put into a witness protection program where she meets and befriends a group of nuns.  After breaking a few of the nuns’ important rules, Deloris is placed into the choir program, where she influences the choir and her own style is accepted and portrayed through performances.  
The Sister Act is entertaining because of the clash of worlds of Deloris Van Carter and the nuns. At first, Deloris sticks out like a sore thumb, providing the audience with many comical and ironic moments where the audience better relates to Deloris.  The movie contains the moral value of loyalty and friendship.  Even though Deloris and the nuns are so different from each other, and even though the situation Deloris is in is life-threatening and dangerous, both parties support the other in the most challenging of situations. Deloris’ being on the run from a mobster from Las Vegas does not change the fact that the nuns have befriended her.  The Sister Act is an inspirational movie that brings two completely opposite worlds together and displays bonds that cannot be broken.
