If anyone other than Dolly Parton starred alongside Queen Latifah in Joyful Noise, the new music-driven comedy about a small town choir who wins a national choir competition, I would probably skip it—and dismiss it as a broad-stroke comedy for a less discerning audience.

You know that idiot who, reunited with his MacBook following a winter break in an exotic culture, feels moved to trot out all the homespun wisdom and shining insight he has gleaned from his glorious voyage? Well, I'm just back from two weeks in Cuba.
