Nuns on the Run

Dir: Jonathan Lynn
Star: Robbie Coltrane, Eric Idle, Camille Coduri, Janet Suzman

[9] TC's continuing quest to bring you the full range of nun-pics brings you a one joke movie (two criminals hide out in a convent) which by some sleight of hand still manages to be an enjoyable piece of mindless entertainment. This is mainly thanks to Coltrane (was he a nun in a previous life?) doing miracles with a script that is rarely less than obvious and never subtle. Idle marks time in comparison, being frequently diverted by a love interest (Coduri), presumably to reassure the audience that he and Coltrane are 'normal' and don't get any pleasure out of cross-dressing.
