DVD Reviews of Young@Heart
DVD Review: The most inspiring documentary you'll ever see!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this documentary at the theatre and knew I had to own it. This is the most inspiring group of people you'll ever watch. The movie is funny, poignant and uplifting. I later saw this group in concert and it was THE best concert I've ever seen. The standing ovation you'll see in the movie was exactly what they got in person. What a treasure for me that I live in the same state they are based out of. This will make a good Christmas gift for anyone, young and old alike.DVD Review: Now that I retired, I'm getting younger all the time!
Summary: 5 Stars
The only one in the family who didn't enjoy this was Grandpa. He's 92 years old and would have rather been in front of Sunday afternoon football, golf, whatever. Coming out of the theater, we were all gushing on "how uplifting", "a real gem, I'm gonna buy the DVD the day it comes out". Granddad's only comment: "Why did you take me to a movie about a lot of old timers?"DVD Review: As Selma Diamond once said...
Summary: 5 Stars
Young@Heart
As a 47-year-old facing possible double-hip replacement in the near future, I decided to think about what I can do, not what I can't do.
Then I saw this movie. It re-enforced my decision to look forward, not backward. Yes, We Can Can!
What do I think of this movie? To quote Selma Daimond, "I laughed. I cried. It became a part of me."
DVD Review: young at heart
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the funniest,most inspiring, saddest and yet beautiful, and best cd I have seen since Mamma Mia. You can watch it over and over and it will continue to inspire you.DVD Review: AWESOME!
Summary: 5 Stars
I live in town and never had the chance to see them live. This was everything I expected it to be and more. I laughed, I cried, had some good memories of a woman in the group (Jean F) I used to sing with at church. God bless everyone who made this production possible...Mary C.
Description of Young@Heart
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!System Requirements:Running Time: 108 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DOCUMENTARIES/BIOGRAPHY Rating:?PG UPC:?024543527022 Manufacturer No:?2252702The 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
