  Young@Heart

  by hectavex

  Young@Heart is about a group of elderly people who travel to different countries and sing rock songs in concert, which delivers a strong message about those who were here before us. It is a wonderful do***entary which will make you laugh and cry, and while there are very very few movies which I think "everyone" should see, this is one of them.

  Fairy Tales Do Come True, It Can Happen To You, If You're [at] -- YOUNG@HEART:

  by jimchudnow

  The above is the basic start of a once-popular song which has the same name as this wonderful film (except for "at" now being replaced by the web-updated "@" in the title). This do***entary covers singers (average age: 80) who, rather than giving up on life, have an uplifting ENTHUSIASM about living the time they have left. Rather than concentrate on old standards, the men and women work hard to sing popular ROCK songs along with other genres. The great thing about this film is the way the individual singers aren't afraid to be THEMSELVES, following their own "drummers" and sometimes-quirky senses of humor (because, at times they really ARE "characters"-- of the UNFORGETTABLE type). They have problems (physical, memory and otherwise) as they try to learn sometimes-difficult lyrics. But, they keep "plugging-away", never wanting to give up & wanting to give their ALL to their audiences. You'll likely get a real KICK out of this indomitable group as you laugh and cry along with them.

  What a movie

  by Wildjean

  This is a fantastic movie. It ought to be required to become a middle ager even. It would even go over with teens I do believe. It certainly lifted me up and I have been telling EVERYBODY to go see it.
  I want to buy it. I want my library to buy it too. The comedy, the sadness, the prisoners, the chorus- it is all great. One could hardly leave that movie without being lifted up. I wish we could get this group into every senior home, every prison, every school. The colors, their philosophies, the music, the bit of dancing around, the songs, the lyrics, the way the lyrics are interpreted. It is all great. I just wish it had been longer. No drugs, no booze- maybe a little cursing but they are entitled. Go go go go see it
  Oh and I am 58 going on 15 after that movie

  HOW TRUE TO LIFE

  by movie_oldsterbuff

  What an awsome documentary. I could not stop smiling throughout most of the film. I did cry at a couple of spots but, that is what Life is. There was much more smiling than tears. I am a nurse and
  it made me want to go to the local nursing homes and try to find some "Young at Heart" people. There
  are so many who would love to do this instead of bingo 3 days aweek. Thank you for this film and
  thank you for letting me rate it.

  The Young at Heart Chorus

  by spiderloft

  This is one of the most delightful, touching, uplifting, funny, quirky and uplifting movies I've watched in ages....
  And the music is awesome.
  What a treat!!!
  If you can go with someone, it will (maybe) be more fun (always fun to share fun times..)
  But if you can only go alone, GO!!!!
  It will fill a place in your heart, long after you've left the theater.

  Young @ Heart is Fantastic

  by iheartmoviess

  Young @ Heart is one of the most inspiring movies I have seen in a long time. The film evokes a plethora of emotions from excitement to fear to hope to sadness. The movie follows the group of seniors as they embark on their mission to conquer 7 new songs for their upcoming shows. You have an opportunity to witness men and women nearing the end of life and ebrasing the time they have left and loving every moment of it. You can't miss this one!

  Young At Heart

  by Grethe

  I thought the movie was excellent. I enjoyed the music and the spirit of the whole show. I especially liked the the attitude of the people in the chorus, including the choral directer. There is great tenderness in this movie and many lessons to be learned. Probably this movie will be enjoyed most by adults and especially, "older" adults. There are many great scenes, but my favorite was the performance at the jail. You will go away from this movie knowing that the world can be a very good place.

  Young@Heart was dope

  by jknoxesq

  I laughed the whole movie. I just kept visualizing my own grandparents rocking it out on stage to my iPod selections. Tastefully done. Bravo!

  Young At Heart

  by scholder

  A delight. Touching, involving, funny, moving, honest. In a made by committee era, when movies are cooked up by marketing geniuses rather than by creative minds this is a most welcome exception. More, more!

  Young@Heart Best Do***entary in Awhile!

  by Phopro

  I loved this movie! I couldn't believe that there were only 4 people in the movie theater when we went to watch it. The rest of the world is simply missing out. This is not simply a movie about age and music. It is also about friendship, passion for life, and overcoming obstacles that life and growing older throws at you. I think there are many people in the world who are every day heros, who do things not for themselves but for others. These people are often overlooked as was evident by the lack of interest in this movie! Who needs sci-fi and movie effects when the real story is right in front of you.
  This movie is going to by my newest gift this year, people should see it!
