''Joyful Noise'' is a 2012 American musical comedy-drama film written and directed by Todd Graff. Vi Rose Hill (Music/QueenLatifah), a newly appointed gospel choir director, clashes with G. G. Sparrow (Music/DollyParton), the widow of the previous choir director. Budget cuts threaten to shut down the choir, but the members hope that if they can win the national Joyful Noise contest, the choir can stay operational. G. G.'s drifter grandson Randy Garrity (Creator/JeremyJordan) prepares more contemporary arrangements that he thinks will improve the choir's chance of winning, but Pastor Dale (Creator/CourtneyBVance) refuses to sponsor them unless they use the same traditional arrangements that they used in previous competitions. In the meantime, Randy falls in love with Vi Rose's teenage daughter Olivia (Keke Palmer) and starts giving piano lessons to her son Walter (Dexter Darden), who has UsefulNotes/AspergerSyndrome.
