Joyful Noise

Synopsis
This light, gentle comedy from director Todd Graff stars Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah in the tale of a small-town choir determined to win a national choral competition. As the choir leaders, G.G. Sparrow and Vi Rose Hill (Parton and Latifah) band together and set out to win at any cost, supported by their eager young participants (Jeremy Jordan, Keke Palmer and others).

Reviews
"Latifah's rendition of the traditional spiritual "Fix Me Jesus," sung when her character's at a low point, is solid....And Palmer's a strong, steadily developing performer." (Los Angeles Times)

"Ms. Latifah's vibrant presence owes everything to her verve and vocal cords..." (Wall Street Journal)
