    Oh look, Nun's being normal, like normal people....amazing! Feeding off ignorance and stereotype, this is a basic premise and a lazy film.

    I didn't rush to see this when it was first released, but I caught it recently on cable. It may be formulaic, but it's great natured fun. Definitely worth taking a peep at this on a wet evening.
