Joyful Noise

Musical, Drama
2.5 stars
Cute gospel musical, but it wasn’t as joyful as the title promises. Queen Latifah stars as a newly minted church choir director trying to get her choir ready for a national singing competition. I liked the music, but there was a lot of teen angst between her daughter, Keke Palmer and Dolly Parton’s grandson, Broadway star Jeremy Jordan. Unfortunately, Latifah’s character is angry and bitter and I prefer to see her in her usual friendly, comedic roles. It’s cute, the music was fun, but it could have been better.
