Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
"Joyful Noise" is a sort of Wal-Mart movie, not exactly trendsetting but a decent enough offering for the heartland.
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.
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.
This movie is a cloying, over-the-top, cheesy sing-a-long that makes "Glee" seem subtle.
