"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.
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten
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.

Rotten
This movie is a cloying, over-the-top, cheesy sing-a-long that makes "Glee" seem subtle.
