- QUICK TAKE:
- Computer-Animated Comedy: After accidentally dying, a music teacher tries to return to Earth to fulfill his life dream of professionally playing piano in a band on stage.
- PLOT:
Joe Gardner (voice of JAMIE FOXX) is a musician who dreams of one day playing piano on stage but currently works as a middle-school music teacher. When a former student informs him of a one-time gig playing in the backup band for legendary sax player Dorothea Williams (voice of ANGELA BASSETT), he jumps at the chance. But he's so overjoyed with the opportunity that he doesn't pay attention to where he's walking and ends up falling into an open manhole.
That results in him heading toward the afterlife, something he's not ready for and thus he flees, hoping to return to Earth to fulfill his dream. Instead, he ends up in a realm where new souls are born and then mentored to find their true spark in life before being sent to inhabit a newborn on Earth. Joe pretends to be one of those in hopes of taking such a spark to jump back into his body and ends up with soul 22 (voice of TINA FEY). She's had countless mentors over the centuries, none of which have helped her, what with her being comfortable where she is.
Realizing he could use her spark for himself, he sets out to help her find hers, but a mix-up involving a modern-day shaman of sorts complicates matters back on Earth. All of which means Joe must get everything back in order if he hopes to take the stage and play with Dorothea and the rest of the band.
- WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
- It's a Pixar movie, so if they enjoy those, that's a definite yes.
- WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG
- For thematic elements and some language.
