Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

jfullerton Charming 60's sitcom that is fun for all ages. But especially sweet for kids. I remember it from my childhood and got it for my kids, who are also enjoying it. Set in Peurto Rico - (I did not remember this until viewing it again) - and beautifully photographed. Not having it it in a typical California setting adds to the charm of this show. It obviously draws some of its inspiration from Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music - a huge movie from a few years before the debut of this show. Sally Field is excellent and some how pulls off this truly unbelievable premise. Sally is supported by an able cast. It is definitely a worthwhile program for the whole family.

roghache I grew up with this really cute series from the late 1960's, starring one of my favourite actresses, Sally Field. Back when I was a teenager, every girl's actress heroines were Sally Field, Patty Duke (The Patty Duke Show), and Hayley Mills (The Parent Trap and many other movies).The series portrays the adventures of an airborne nun, Sister Bertrille, at the hilltop Convent San Tanco in Porto Rico. The fresh faced young sister is able to fly due to the combination of her light 90 pound weight, the elaborate, stiffly starched bird wing-like cornette of her habit, and catching whatever breeze chances to be blowing. She's a bubbly, free spirited young novice, whose unusual methods often bring her into conflict with the convent's more traditional & stern Reverend Mother. Other convent sisters also appear in the show, including her sidekick, Sister Jacqueline. The well intended Sister Bertrille endeavours to use her aviation skills to help people in trouble, but more often than not, instead gets HERSELF into trouble. She frequently runs into the charming casino playboy, Carlos Ramirez, disrupting his romantic activities with beautiful women. In fact, quite often Sister Bertrille requires Ramirez, who is the owner of a local disco and also a patron of the convent, to come to her rescue.Sister Bertrille's adventures are many and varied. She has been mistaken for an enemy aircraft, had a pelican fall in love with her, inadvertently landed in the middle of a mobster's meeting, and ascended to the clouds to bring snow for a Norwegian nun's white Christmas. Occasionally she crash lands into a tree or whatever, but simply picks herself up and carries on.True, nuns can't really fly so some complain that this program involves too unbelievable a premise. To them I would respond that the ideas behind other popular comedies of the 1960's aren't exactly realistic either, for example...Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, The Beverly Hillbillies, Gilligan's Island, and Hogan's Heroes, to name but a few.Sally Field is cast in the whimsical role of Sister Bertrille and makes this series fly in more ways than one. This versatile and talented star of Gidget later went on to a brilliant movie career with Oscar winning dramatic roles in Norma Rae & Places of the Heart, also starring in countless others including one of my favourite romantic comedies, Murphy's Romance. Yes, we do indeed really like her, and any success achieved by this series is undoubtedly due to Sally Field's legendary charm and appeal.This show is simply pure whimsical and heartwarming fun. Pity there aren't more mindless but wholesome TV programs like it these days.

Jim-500 I think "The Flying Nun" had one of the best music themes ever. I found it recently on a TV theme website. Whenever I need a lift, I listen to it and it brings a smile to my face. By the way, it had lyrics which were never heard on the show, and the title was "Who Needs Wings to Fly?"

Rosemea D.S. MacPherson I liked the series. Sally Field (Forrest Gump) playing Sister Bertrille (Elsie Ethrington) was about 90 pounds, I was about 110 pounds, when I use to watch the series and felt many times that I was about to fly like her. I remember holding on to dear life to a light pole because of severe wind, that all I could think at the moment was: here comes Sister Bertrille. The only thing I didn't realize is that without that headgear I would not be able to fly. Oh well, I never took physics. Sister Bertrille was a combination of Superman, Peter Pan, and Maria von Trap who "was always late for everything except for every meal." She was somewhat catastrophic, cute and innocent. I don't remember many details about the series, except that every time that there was a big wind I would think of her. I liked the series. Well I liked Sally . . . what can I say. I watched the series outside the U.S. and dubbed
