Plot: Eric Idle and Robbie Coltrane team up for this bad boy comic burlesque, directed by Jonathan Lynn. Idle and Coltrane play Brian Hope and Charlie McManus, a pair of two-bit hoods who want to go straight, repulsed by the increasing reliance on guns and violence in their line of work. In thrall to vicious gangster Case Casey (Robert Patterson), the duo determine that their next job will be their last. When a large amount of money is extracted from a gang of Hong Kong drug dealers and it falls into the laps of Brian and Charlie, the two take off with the loot, with the Chinese Triad and Casey in relentless pursuit. When their car runs out of gas in front of a convent, Brian and Charlie run inside and disguise themselves as two of the ugliest nuns imaginable. Inside the convent, Brian and Charlie pass themselves off as nuns from a different order, assigned to the convent before leaving the country on missionary work. As the two men enjoy their undercover work with a collection of nubile nuns and coeds, the bad guys close in on their trail. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Would Have Been Nice If We Could Have Actually Watched It

A friend of mine bought this for me as a gift. She said it's absolutely hilarious. But here's the problem. She bought it used, from an Amazon reseller, and when I went to play it I got an error message saying "Wrong Region." What does THAT mean???? I live in Arizona, and it came from an Amazon seller in New Jersey.

Needless to say I am EXTREMELY disappointed. I like Eric Idol, and I've heard this is a very funny movie. But if you live in Arizona I guess you're just out of luck. All I got was a DVD that I can't play. :-(

great comedy

I know this movie may offend some people but I thought it was really great. I saw it twice on TV and just bought the DVD. Eric Idle has become one of my favorite comedy actors - Suddenly Susan with Brooke Shields, Splitting Heirs with Rick Moranis, and Monty Python to name a few.

Nuns on the Run Lots of Laughs!

Hey, it's Eric Idle with nuns and slapstick humor and sort of a crazy Billy Wilder type plot. It's sort of predictable but I've watched it probably a dozen times and it's always good for putting you in a good mood.

Nuns on the Run

Nuns on the Run is nonstop fun, I enjoyed it the first time I saw it, and now again. The story has some quirks, Camille Coduri as the shortsighted
girlfriend is hilarious and Eric Idle is at his best, I like him ever since I saw him in the Life of Brian.
Everybody who doesn't take Religion too seriously, will enjoy this film.

We have been fans of Nuns on the Run since way back in the tape days. It is great to have the DVD version.
