Joyful Noise – An average musical film
Todd Graff’s Joyful Noise is a 2012 musical film which stars Queen Latifah, Dolly Parton, Keke Palmer and Jeremy Jordan. The movie was released on January 13th, 2012 and it is produced by Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove.
The $25 million budgeted movie follows a small town choir who is out to win a national competition regardless of several obstacles. It is a story of faith and determination by the choir leaders and the young talent who give their all to beat the competition
for the grand prize.
Distributed by Warner Bros, Joyful Noise began filming in mid February 2011 in Atlanta, Decatur, Newnan, Dallas, Conyers and Peachtree City. The flick finished filming in early April 2011.
The movie received mixed to negative reviews. Review aggregator, Rotten Tomatoes report that 37 percent of 91 critics gave it positive reviews, with an average rating of 4.7 out of 10. The site’s general consensus states, “Joyful Noise’s musical numbers
are solidly entertaining, and it benefits from Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton’s sizable chemistry; unfortunately, they aren’t enough to make up for the rest of the film.”
Eric D. Snider of the Fil.com gave it a rating of C- and said, “Has the good fortune of being acted with enthusiasm by a very appealing cast, or else it would be completely unbearable instead of just mundane.”
Rolling Stone’s top film critic, Peter Travers, gave it a score of two out of four and declared, “Lots of talented young singers decorate the scenery, notably Jeremy Jordan who has vocal and acting chops that shine even in this bucket of Glee Goes Gospel
cornpone.”
IMDB gave the movie a rating of 4.5 out of 10 based on its 504 users while another review aggregator site, Rotten Tomatoes gave it a score of 44 out of 100.
David Edelstein of the New York magazine was kinder to the movie and he stated, “You’ll find yourself rolling your eyes, but you’ll have more fun if you try to roll them in time with the rollicking numbers.”
Overall, Joyful Noise is a good way to pass time with your friends.
