Nasty Habits

About This Movie

So, Nasty Habits is this quirky little comedy set in a Philadelphia convent. You’ve got two nuns, each vying for the head abbess position, and it’s a hilarious clash of wills. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but that just adds to its offbeat charm. The atmosphere is light-hearted yet filled with some surprisingly sharp wit, and the performances are what really hold it together, especially the comedic timing. There’s a certain boldness in how it tackles themes of ambition and rivalry in such an unconventional setting. It’s distinct for its blend of sacred and secular humor. Definitely a film that tickles your funny bone while making you think a bit about the nature of power, even in a convent.

Nasty Habits has seen a few releases over the years, but availability can be a bit hit-or-miss, which can drive up interest among collectors. It’s not the most mainstream title, so finding it on physical media, especially in good condition, can be a challenge. There’s a niche group of collectors who appreciate its unique blend of comedy and themes, making it a curious item for those who enjoy offbeat films from the '70s.
