REVIEW | Joyful Noise

It’s hard to find moments in this film that are palatable. If it’s not some sub-Sister Act gospel crap that, unsurprisingly, gets too religious too quick, then it’s them singing some sub-Glee pap made even worse by those singing it being uggos in comparison to the Glee kids. In between all of the far too sincere bellowing we get a succession of sassy one-liners with a few storylines pinned on them. The kids aren’t hot, the songs aren’t cool and are played in their entireties, and the screenplay seems amateur as fuck. Much like LOL however, I found myself laughing at the shitness far too often for me to see it as a contender for my ten worst of the year.

Instead we should all just forget that this exists.

Verdict: Spunk
