Advantages: You'll be laughing all the way through Disadvantages: You'll only want to watch it occassionally
Anything starring Robbie Coltrane and Eric Idle was bound to be funny anyway. But the hilarious timing and excellent jokes add to the stars performances and whoevers idea it was to team the pair up deserves a medal!
Eric and Robbie play a couple of small time criminals who decide one day to rip off some much bigger thugs and nick off with their money from a big job. This forces them to go into hiding..yes you guessed it..in a nunery!
Thus proceeds ... ...escape without the mother superior noticing all while dressed as a nun themselves (although very manly looking nuns!)
They also end up teaching young girls about religion etc and finding some morals along the way themselves.
It gets a bit soppy at points with Idle having a love intrest but this storyline also brings some comedy to the film and helps to beef up the story line a bit.
I personally love the way the film uses visual humour as well ...
