Middle-school music teacher Joe Gardner (voiced by Jamie Foxx) landed his dreamed-of gig with a legendary jazz band-and then promptly stepped into an open manhole. While comatose in the hospital, his stubborn consciousness winds up in a way station for unborn souls destined for Earth-and his salvation might hinge upon convincing a cynically disinterested soul (Tina Fey) that life's worth living. Inspirational Pixar effort co-stars the voices of Alice Braga, Richard Ayoade, Angela Bassett. 100 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, DVS stereo, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH), Spanish; audio commentary.
