One violent brawl scene with bloody results, a scene where two people are seen making out, and lots of language, like sh*t, b*tch,
p*issed, a*s, hell, and d*mn. But there are positive messages and role models.
Silly but meaningful musical takes on huge diversity.
Who can't remember Keke Palmer playing a mouthy preteen in Akeelah and the Bee? She now plays a foul mouthed teen girl in Joyful Noise who can't get along with her mother. Queen Latifah is starting off her music career in this meaningful musical. But this wouldn't sell tickets if they didn't take on pop and rock music. If they just sang church music they would make no money whatsoever. And there was a kid with Asperger Syndrome in the movie. There is a lot of research going on about that these days. So they threw that in this movie. There is some language that is not terrible.
I actually went to see this with a friend who had been dying to see this movie. Going into it, I had no intentions of seeing I just went with my friend just being a good friend and what not. At first, I didn't really like it only because in the back of my mind I knew I didn't want to be here. But the part that brought me into the movie was the singing. The main character, Keke Palmer started to sing Man in the Mirror and I blew me away! Throughout the whole movie, the singing was outstanding which also had a lot to do with the plot which made it one of the best movies I have had seen in a longtime! Other then the music, the Chemistry and message was what else really brought the movie together. This movie was no typical movie, it was defiantly one that really stood out to me.
Best movie ever only iffy parts where the fight where some kid gets kicked in the groin and the kids singing I'm N luv (wit a stripper) by t pain but still cool flix
This was much better than I expected. There was 1 fight scene. A major plot point is that Olivia is secretly dating Randy. Cussing is infrequent, but is concentrated in about 3 scenes. Overall, this is a somewhat PG movie, but was rated PG13 due to language.
