Joyful Noise

Feel-good music and songs dominate this entertaining, predictable, sporadically funny film in which a Georgia nurse (Queen Latifah), who is raising her talented daughter (Kele Palmer) and son (Dexter Darden) with Asperger's Syndrome alone while her husband (Jesse L. Martin) is serving in the military, is nominated by her small-town preacher (Courtney B. Vance) to lead the choir after the sudden death of its leader (Kris Kristofferson) and then desperately tries to unify the singers (Dolly Parton, Jeremy Jordan, Francis Jue, Ceasar Davis, Promise Ramsey, et al.) to try and win the annual Joyful Noise Competition, which has always eluded them.
