Joyful Noise (+UltraViolet Digital Copy) [Blu-ray] by Warner Home Video

The larger-than-life personalities of Oscar nominees Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah lend a hand to buoy Joyful Noise, a light-weight comedy-musical about two strong-minded women who conflict over the direction of a small-town church choir. The friction is about in motion by way of a surprisingly callous bit of business, by which Parton is informed through her pastor (Courtney B. Vance) that the church board has planned to deny her the place of church choir director, not too lengthy ago vacated by way of the demise of her husband (Kris Kristofferson), in want of Latifah. Never thoughts that the announcement is made at Kristofferson's funeral carrier, where one might suppose that even a girl with such inordinate spunk as Parton may neatly be in a state of grief; it can be certainly one of never-mind-the-details-let's-get-to-the-singing choice that writer-director Todd Graff (Bandslam) makes right through the picture, which renders much of the film's many dramatic parts a little bit facile. And there are rather a few elements from which to choose, including a romance between Parton's cocky grandson (Jeremy Jordan) and Latifah's daughter (Keke Palmer), Latifah's Asperger's-afflicted son, or any of the really silly issues involving the choir members. Joyful Noise is in a roundabout approach a mess of bathroomsely related parts that viewers are requested to just accept in a particularly haphazard association, but for many, the storyline can be a tolerable bridge between musical numbers, which admittedly are the film's strongest promoting point..
