Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Get ready to rock out with the most entertaining "golden oldies" you will ever meet, a fun-loving senior citizen’s choir called Young@Heart. To prepare for a show in their hometown that is only weeks away, the lovable seniors must learn a slate of new songs, ranging from James Brown to Coldplay. The chorus’ tireless musical director leads the group through a series of hilariously chaotic rehearsals, proving that hard rock can be hard work — especially when you’re hard of hearing! Climaxing in a triumphant performance that will leave you cheering, their inspiring story celebrates the unbreakable bonds of friendship and the life-affirming power of music!
Amazon.com:
The questions start as soon as you know that Young@Heart is about a group of singing senior citizens as they prepare for and then perform a concert with a repertoire consisting of songs by the likes of Coldplay, Sonic Youth, and James Brown. Can this premise, basically a novelty, sustain itself for nearly two hours? Will the director give in to the temptation to make it schmaltzy and sentimental? Will we be laughing at these oldsters, or with them? The answers: yes, no, and a little of both. Directed by British filmmaker Stephen Walker, the 2007 film takes place primarily in Northampton, MA, home to the Young@Heart chorus, whose average age is 80. Most readily admit to preferring classical and musicals to the pop and rock given to them by music director Bob Cilman, and some of the tunes--Sonic Youth’s "Schizophrenia," Allen Toussaint’s "Yes We Can Can" (once a hit for the Pointer Sisters), and Brown’s "I Got You (I Feel Good)"--prove especially vexing. But the singers’ good natures and determination to master the material over some six weeks of rehearsals carry the day. Most of all, while they thoroughly enjoy themselves, it’s no joke to them, and thus not to us, either. Of course, folks this age are bound to have health issues; indeed, the specter of death hangs over the scene like a banshee, occasionally making itself right at home. But the chorus members’ insistence on carrying on in the wake of tragedy makes for a climactic concert that’s moving and powerful--Fred Knittle, who had withdrawn from the group due to heart issues but whose beautiful bass voice remains intact, returns for this one show to deliver a version of Coldplay’s "Fix You" that will bring a tear to the eye of the most flint-hearted cynic. Mixed in along the way are the group’s "videos" of songs like the Ramones’ "I Wanna Be Sedated" and David Bowie’s "Golden Years"; bonus features include deleted scenes and a brief featurette about Young@Heart’s gig in Los Angeles. --Sam Graham

So, I am not officially a "senior" but this chapter of life is in view and I still have a few aging parents around. While watching a flick about a group of old-timers singing might not entice you to view, let me nudge you over the conservative edge for a really fun free-fall. These precious, bright, independent and courageous spirits lifted MY spirits, had my toes tapping and I heard myself laughing with JOY...heck, I was even singing along to the Ramone's "I Want To Be Sedated". This is the kind ... Read More

A fun, but sometimes sad tale of never-ending youth, passion to live and joy of life. Young at heart is the story of what I want to be when I grow up, alive.

This is a very hard movie to slip into the DVD player. The marketing is all way off on this thing. The barrier was, oh no not some stupid movie about a bunch of old people singing hymns, or at best acting stupid. This movie is none of that. It's a pretty decent example of how documentaries should be made. Much better, and more engaging than I thought possible.
I found myself caring a lot about the two people that die. And it was sad to see who passed away after the film was shot.

Take senior citizens age 70 and above, teach them some rock & roll, add some polish by their demanding director, and you've got the Young at Heart chorus, which has delighted audiences all over the world. This movie follows the group through several weeks of rehearsals all leading to their big show. Bob Cilman, the director, throws songs at the oldsters that require concentration, memorization, and a keen sense of timing. At first, songs like "I Think I Can Can" (with 71 "cans") and "I Feel Good" ... Read More
