Where to Watch Nuns on the Run
- ርልዪረ6d agoNuns on the run is a classic. A movie that i have only just watched but I can tell how popular it is. Its funny without being overly so and with no swearing needed to get the point across. This movie is about two men named brian hope and charlie mcmanus. Now they work for the mob and are asked to steal money from the triads. As a rusult they steal the money for themselves and try to hide away from them in the one place you would not think, a convent. The two dress as nunds and this is where the real fun begins. Eric idle and the late robbie coltrane do great in their roles and work well as a twosome. Overall nuns on the run is a great but of fun with a very good cast and gags that would make you want to rewatch it again.
