Now they are focusing on preparing new songs, not an easy endeavor, for a concert in their home town.

This doc was great! I was even skeptical about it at first. I laughed a lot and liked the renditions of the songs. I love older people! My favourite line is when this gentleman is singing "I Feel Good" by James Brown and uses the line "I feel nice, like sugar and rice." It doesn't get much better than that!

Uplifting documentary reminding us of the power of music and that you are never too old to embrace what life has to offer. Every community should have a choir like this one.

This was fun - a documentary about a seniors' choral group called "Young at Heart" - from Massachusetts. They perform rock and roll songs. They do a good job and have a great attitude towards life.

Very interesting film that I initially dismissed but rather enjoyed when I actually saw it. Including a version of Sonic Youth's "Schizophrenia" was a stroke of genius.

This was a great film! I'd love to see them perform. It gives us hope for something fun to do when we get old - something to keep us out of trouble!

Loved this film. Their version of "I Wanna Be Sedated" kicks ass. A real heart-warming feel good movie with some bittersweet moments. As soon as I finished watching, I went to the Young @ Heart website to see if they are touring anywhere near here (nothing planned - closest stop right now is NYC)

Wonderful documentary of seniors averaging 80? singing songs from James Brown to Cold Play to packed houses in Europe. I laughed and I wept, what a heartwarming wonderful story!

I absolutely loved this movie! It is a charming, sweet, and heart-breaking documentary about a seniors choir where the average age is 80. If you loved Mad Hot Ballroom or Spellbound, you will love this movie. Some truly great singing and very funny music videos. The songs take on a whole new meaning at times. Brilliant.
