Sister Marguerite's Mouth (PG; 145 mins.)
Fox Searchlight Pictures delivers this satisfying though somewhat plodding update of the Sondheim stage classic about a nun (Laura Linney) who's not afraid to take the Lord's name in vain. The profanities fly when she and her Mother Superior (Glenn Close) are forced to drive cross-country together to retrieve the convent's runaway pet cat, but they discover they have more in common than they ever thought possible. Though the two principals shine, the cat is a distracting MacGuffin, with much of the dialogue wasted on pointless debates over the feline's lustrous coat and its propensity to eat tuna.
Brief nudity; strong language.
