Joyful Noise

Dream a whole lot louder.


Joyful Noise
Set in a small Southern USA town, a racially-mixed church has an major problem when their choir director dies. Two women, one white and one black, both want the job, and when the 'wrong' one gets it, the scene is set for a vicious catfight, which remains mostly verbal. Complicating matters is the blooming romance between the daughter of one of women, and the nephew of the other. The critics were generally underwhelmed.

What the Critics say

Die Burger
Amanda de Lange quote iconVoorspelbare gelukkige einde.
10
Cape Times
Todd McCarthy quote iconCornball comedy is devoid of subtlety.
10
Box Office
Kate Erbland quote iconA well-meaning production that consistently fails to deliver on even the most basic of cinematic expectations, all while covering up stunning ineptitude with bloated song-and-dance numbers.
3
Chicago Sunday Times
Roger Ebert quote iconJoyful Noise is an ungainly assembly of parts that don't fit, and the strange thing is that it makes no particular effort to please its target audience, which would seem to be lovers of gospel choirs.

Tomatometer quote iconJoyful 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.
