"Nuns on the Run" is a tremendously fun film from the very beginning. The humour is consistently funny, the fast pace is effortlessly and enthusiastically maintained throughout, and it somehow manages to effectively poke fun at assorted aspects of organised religion without actually angering anyone by being outright insulting. The humour works splendidly and it is often spiced up with some moments of cheeky sauce…
From now on, it's every nun for himself!
Set up by their boss to be knocked off following a final heist, soon-to-retire crooks Brian Hope and Charlie McManus get wind of their impending demise and run off with the spoils of their crime. Fleeing their boss, the drug dealers they robbed, the police, and Brian's angry girlfriend, the duo take refuge in a training convent for nuns. In disguise, they convince Sister Superior that they're nuns, a charade they're forced to maintain as their enemies arrive.
