When the director of a small-town church choir unexpectedly dies, the job of leading the group is taken over by Vi Rose Hill (Queen Latifah), a no-nonsense single mother of two. But her tried-and-true style of running the choir is tested by the former director's widow, G.G. Sparrow (Dolly Parton), who thinks it's time to shake things up and try something new for the upcoming National Joyful Noise Competition. These two choir members have differing opinions on how to win the national choir competition. To make matters worse, G.G's grandson comes into town only to fall in love with Vi's daughter, a match neither woman is prepared to accept. The choir, which usually sings in harmony, all of a sudden finds itself falling apart at the seams.
PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"Parton’s starched visage leaves her unable to achieve the most basic duty of an actor: expression.
Fortunately, Latifah is able to carry the movie with a characteristic blend of grace and sensibility (...) Rating: ** (out of five)"
(Elizabeth Weitzman: New York Daily News) ----------------------------------------
"Joyful Noise seems tailor-made for an audience of churchgoers and 'Glee' devotee (...) Rating: ** (out of four)" (Claudia Puig: USA Today) ----------------------------------------
"The critic in me can authoritatively declare that the film is crap. The fan in me sent his shirt to the dry cleaners for tear removal" (Richard Corliss: Time) ----------------------------------------
