Joyful Noise



For a rip-roarin' good time and lots of toe-tappin' and sing along music be sure to pick up a copy of Warner Bros. new Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy Combo of the hit musical/comedy, Joyful Noise.

When a small church loses its choir director chances look slim for the choir to win the National Joyful Noise gospel choir play-offs.  The choir director's widow (GiGi) naturally assumes she will take over (played by the ever effervescent Dolly Parton) but she is passed over for the tough as nails, traditionalist Vi (played to perfection by Queen Latifah).

Sparks fly as the two directly opposed stubborn women face off as to what direction the choir should take (traditional or contemporary) in order to win.

If things weren't prickly enough between the two, GiGi's wild grandson returns to town and has eyes for Vi's sixteen old daughter.  While the teenagers hit it off, GiGi and Vi almost comes to blows.  Thankfully cooler heads prevail and the two patch up their differences and take the choir to the Nationals.  What results is one of the most inspiring movie musical performances ever seen on the Silver Screen.  

Included with the Joyful Noise Combo Pack are featurettes about the music and the cast along with deleted scenes, a "Live" concert and more.  Make a Joyful Noise!
