    • Goofs
      In the final performance of Joyful, Joyful, as the camera crane hovers over the act then changes to a shot of Whoopi Goldberg conducting and dancing with the group you can clearly see a camera move into the dancers behind Whoopi before it cuts to the next shot.

      Ahmal James: Rumor has it that you're a Las Vegas showgirl?

      Sister Mary Clarence: Let's get one thing straight, my dear Ahmal. I am not, nor have I ever been, a Las Vegas showgirl. I am a headliner!

    • Crazy credits
      Sister Mary Lazarus says "Now wait a minute!" before the credits roll.
    • Alternate versions
      In most TV broadcasts, the ending sequence of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" is chopped off in order to keep the movie in its two hour time slot.

    Love This Movie!!!

    Where do I begin? Lauryn Hill, Whoopi Goldberg, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Tonya Blount, Sheryl Lee Ralph (I wish she sang!!!), and Kathy Najimy. Wonderful cast that played well off each other. Absolutely beautiful harmonies and arrangements. The story was so simple and relatable. The kids were the epitome of 'fresh' at the time, and I was the target demographic for this gem of a movie.

    As a choir kid, this movie reminds me of all the state competitions I attended; how it was so exciting, yet nerve-wracking to be from an inner city school competing with polished, much larger suburban choirs. It hurts my heart to see this movie's rating, as it is a cherished work of nostalgia.

    This movie is a joy to watch for all generations, and it even has a few nuggets of wisdom.
