Nun of That is an action-comedy that follows Sister Kelly Wrath as she transforms from a nun with a simple temper problem to a vengeful killer. After being gunned down in an alley, she ascends to heaven to receive training from some of the great figures of religious mythology (Moses, Gandhi, and Jesus himself). She is then set back to Earth to join the other members of the Order of the Black Habit, a group of supernatural vigilante nuns as they seek revenge against the mob.
Reviews
*Spoiler/plot- Nun of That, 2009. A new nun wants to become a hero and fighter for the Lord's goodness and does just that. She uses any violence or sexual matters to achieve her good goals.*Special Stars- Sara Nicllin, Alexandra Ciploa, Michael Reed, Lloyd Kaufman.*Theme- Religion can be funny when mocked.*Trivia/location/goofs- Philipines, A soft porn send-up of organized religion.*Emotion- An unfunny ridiculous comedy badly made and cliqued jokes about organized religion. Even the ultra violent and porn scenes of this film are hard to watch.
I just saw this movie and while it's low budget, so much so that all the gunshots were added in later; it's very well made. It goes on just long enough, with an ending that BEGS for a sequel. And I laughed so hard my eyes were in tears all throughout. The guys who made this movie, watch out for them. They'll only get better. This movie doesn't really drag, either. And the dance number early in the film blew me away. It's pretty brief, and I wish there had been more. Yes, a B (or even C) movie with a dance number. A tremendous amount of nun jokes and good dialog. Loved the lead nun and her sisters, too. This movie is nun-thing but fun.
Laughed my butt off. this effort by director Richard Griffin has an excellent sense of irony and irreverent humor combined with excellent comic pacing. I recommend seeing it more than once since you will very likely be laughing thru half the jokes the first time around. It's the story of an order of vigilante nuns (The Black Habit) with a special penchant for dealing justice out to evil mobsters. There's some soft-core nudity (always nice) and every conceivable variation of nun jokes and religious humor in general. The violence is over the top bloody without being a gorefest. Normally I'm not one for musical numbers, but this has some real rib ticklers. Where else are you going to laugh when Jesus does a song and dance with a bevy of leather-clad nuns providing backup? What's really tasty is the cast. Sarah Nicklin simmers with sexual attitude, Brand Aponte is perfect as the angry mob avenger and the rest of the cast CAN ACTUALLY ACT! Incredible in a low budget film, I know, but it's true. This is one of the big redeeming factors here where most low budget efforts fall flat. Don't get my wrong, I'm a big fan of badly acted low budget features. But in those instances the bad acting is the reason I laugh. I have a very MST3000 sense of humor. But not so here. Mr. Griffin has managed to corral some real talent and it makes all the difference. One laughs at the jokes, not at the acting. With him, not at him. So do yourself a favor and pick this one up. Unless you're devoutly religious, you'll have a great time. And even if you are and have a sense of humor, you could still find yourself in stitches.
I have to say. I was quite impressed with the film! From the script, cinematography, acting, and editing, it was an overall success! Scorpio Film Releasing never ceases to amaze me. Laughter filled the theater! This movie had me laughing from beginning to end! I was blown away by the film. It is amazing to see an independent film of this scale. BRAVO!!!! to all involved in the film! This film is a curiosity and attention seeker. A movie about vigilante nuns fighting the mob? What more could you ask for! I have strong feelings this film is going to make it and it will become a huge success! Keep on making those crazy films SFR! I'll always buy a ticket!
