Damn you wife.

What if Glee were about a church choir rather than a school choir?

There are absolutely no surprises in this movie. What you think is going to happen is exactly what will happen. At the end of the day, that might have been acceptable if we could have had some good, meaty scenes between Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah, which is the only reason to watch the movie. Unfortunately, those scenes are very few and far between (in fact, Parton seems rather marginalized throughout the entire film). Instead most of the time is taken up dealing with the "next generation", the children and grandchildren of the leads. We don't care about them. In the end, the movie is so slight you can see through it, and without more scenes with the stars, it just isn't worth the time it takes to watch it.

Ben says that I "owe him" for dragging him to an Early Bird matinee this morning, but I make no apologies. I love Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah and Todd Graff's CAMP, so this was a no-brainer (literally).

Sure, it's essentially just a gospel-fueled episode of "Glee" and I lost count of how many times I rolled my eyes, but it's just pure fun. Totally ridiculous saccharine fun that feels manufactured by focus groups, but fun all the same.

The scene where Parton and Latifah have a huge fight in a restaurant makes it all worth it, I promise. Honestly, I wish I would have seen it in Houston or Atlanta with an all-black audience. That would have increased my enjoyment levels of the movie by levels I cannot even quantify.

Um. Watchable. Weird. Confused as to what the main conflict was. Confused why the characters ever did anything that they did. A lot of little weird subplots and predicaments that I didn't care about but sorta hilarious to watch. Dolly Parton's scene, partly a duet with Kris Kristofferson, is completely the best part. Actually an enjoyable song.

This movie is 5 hours long. No, it really is.

Excellent music, very predictable story line.

i was unable to finish this movie. this is one of the corniest movies that I have watched in recent years

Sister Act this is not.

Not even Dolly and Queen could sing this hot mess to salvation.

I'm sick of seeing dweebs finding ways to get the hot girls to like them in shitty movies. It has to stop.

In this case, Keke Palmer is the hot chick who is so comically absurdly far above & beyond anyone's standards that it just registers as backwards, overreaching fantasy when she embraces the dude at the end.

Pretty good music segments, though.

The trailer promised so much. Dolly's lines were good. Romantic subplot was not.
