Joyful Noise (2012), 6-

PG-13 | 1h 58min | Comedy, Drama, Music | 13 January 2012
G.G. Sparrow faces off with her choir's newly appointed director, Vi Rose Hill, over the group's direction as they head into a national competition.
Writer/Director: Todd Graff
Stars: Queen Latifah, Dolly Parton, Keke Palmer.
Michele Lynch ... choreographer

Watched online, ok print.

26 songs in the Soundtracks, 3 Written by Dolly Parton.

OK gospel and soul music, but tedious plot; feels like the pilot for a soap opera.

QL and DP are rivals for control of the church choir, which competes with other church choirs. Plus DP's ill-behaved (but great voiced) grandson lusts after QL's daughter. QL has marital problems (husband volunteered to do an extra tour overseas).

Big eyeroll.

Rated 5.8 (7,502)
