Joyful Noise

Powerful Music in an Average Film
mitchellyoung - wrote on 11/08/12

The cookie cutter plot that is made to fit around the film's host of songs is what ultimately keeps the film from reaching greatness. The character relationships aren't quite believable enough or fleshed out enough to make some of the deeper scenes resonate (although the scenes between Queen Latifah and Keke Palmer as mother and daughter are the most powerful. Latifah is easily the film's best actor, going for broke and doing what she can with a lot of the film's hammier material.) The music, of course, is incredible and well orchestrated/choreographed. I would suggest buying the soundtrack, not necessarily the movie.
