[@davidthaler7018]

I saw her do it only one other time. She was in The Netherlands talking about her role as Guinan on Star Trek: The Next Generation. FYI, Guinan is mostly “a watcher, not a do-er” but steps up when required, and doesn’t have a lot of close friends. An audience member stepped up during Q&A and identified himself as having autism. He told her how that character inspired/empowered him to break out of his introspective shell (including the very acts of just attending the event and saying it to her). Whoopi was genuinely moved and offered the man a hug and her thanks. It was a revelation for her.

[@harveysdtr]

I was an extra in this movie. It is as they say, Whoopi was/ is so kind... she smiled and waved and I was not a main character in the movie. The days I was there filming, I hangout with a few of the main characters and met Lauren... they were so kind, fun, and friendly. As I watched this I cried... and danced and then balled with the rest of them ❤

My heart is full. I am crying so hard watching this. Sister Act 2 made me want to study and sing in choirs in the US. It gave a young Japanese girl a dream. It sure led me to the US as an exchange student in a high school, and I joined the concert choir there. Long story short, I ended up pursuing degrees in classical vocal performance in the States. I just made my real professional debut as an opera singer singing a huge lead role, and I am about to earn the highest degree for this discipline. My story started from watching Sister Act 2, and still continues!! I am so grateful for this film and all the encounters. This means everything to me.

There are plenty of movies for Christian people to watch. They just don't go mainstream. What made this relatable and fun to watch was the semi realistic story of Rita and her mother and how a teacher can change students. It really was just an updated To Sir with Love.

[@shantbe]

@@minilea144 It also has elements of the play, "Mama, I Want to Sing." It has Rita and her mom who doesn't except her singing. Then you have Tanya Blount's character who is allowed to sing, but can only do so in the church, though the movie never really expands on this. Every black sitcom has used this premise at one point or another. Even Quantum Leap had an episode with this premise.

I was 15 years old, three decades ago when I saw Sister Act 2 movie, and I said "I WANT TO BE IN THAT CHOIR !!" Those cool kids who can sing and dance and full of dreams and aspirations. This movie has seriously made a positive impact to our generation. Thank you The View for bringing us back to 90's memory lane when we were young, full of dreams and aspirations.

[@timetraveler3733]

I was in High School during this Time as well, and I was in the choir when this movie came out. After the movie was over, the entire audience stood and applauded. What Drum line did for Band Culture around the World, Sister Act 2 did for the culture of Choir Singing. I can't tell you how many times we replayed those scenes, both during school and after school hours. Our student choir director use to play His eye is on the sparrow from the piano, and try to mimic the characters version in the movie. I think I even had the soundtrack at one time. That same student director went on to become A top 5 American Idol contestant on season 3, the best season!🕎🕎🕐🕐🤴🤴⚜⚜⚓⚓🔱🔱🌊🌊🚀🚀🌌🌌

Whoopi crying 😭. She never cries. No matter how many years has passed, this scene will forever go down as impactful and legendary. I don’t think they knew this scene they did would still be this powerful for decades to come.

You couldn't tell me I wasn't in that choir 30 years ago, and you can't tell me I was in it last night, either! I still remember the choreography 😂💜

I remember rewinding my Sister Act 2 VHS over and over again so I could learn this choreography as a child. It’s amazing how fast it all came back as I danced along to this reunion performance. Why it made me cry is a mystery. I still love this movie so much. Thanks The View for bringing this back in our lives!!
