    An old-fashioned "feel-good" movie - and there's nothing wrong with that!
    I went with friends to see JOYFUL NOISE, the film starring Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton. What can I say about it?

    Predictable? Yep.

    Formulaic? For the most part.

    Manipulative? Definitely! One particular segment had me sobbing in my seat.

    But the music rocked. The film also had unexpected flashes of humor that were laugh-out-loud funny. Though it wasn't a masterpiece (for one thing, editing was sloppy in places), I enjoyed it and thought it was well worth seeing.
