DVD Review: 4 STARS
Summary: 5 Stars
THIS MOVIE IS WONDERFUL FOR YOUNG AND "OLD". iT HAS GREAT MUSIC, LAUGHS AND TEARS. BRINGS JOY TO YOUR HEART.DVD Review: "Young at Heart" - The New One!
Summary: 5 Stars
Frank Sinatra once starred in a movie called "Young at Heart". This heartwarming movie with the same title is one of the best documentaries I have seen: homourous, sad, ultimately illiminating. A choral group of oldsters (72 and up) learn new tricks.Rock 'n Roll! One of their warmups for the big sold-out concert is filmed at a prison, where the hearts of inmates open to them and their music. So will yours. DVD Review: Young at Heart DVD
Summary: 3 Stars
I was disappointed in the story. I had read the review of the title and it was a disappointment after viewing it.DVD Review: Young at Heart
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased seven copies of the DVD Young at Heart to be given to senior citizens. They were thrilled with the film and found it to be inspirational and heartwarming. In addition, these were used DVD's which were in perfect condition. DVD Review: Young@Heart DVD Rocks!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a wonderful documentary/story presenting the enthusiasm and kindridship of 'seniors' doing what they love and showing how it keeps them motivated to go on everyday. I purchased this to show to my Neighbour Aid aged social group because someone had recommended it. I always watch stories before showing the group to ensure appropriateness and in this case I was glad I did.
Whilst it is a wonderful story and so touching to the sole to watch, it has some very sad moments making it what I considered possibly too 'sad' for my chosen audience as it leaves you feeling emotional (which also makes a good movie I believe). The sad moments are just a little too close to home for my ageing clients I feel without warning them in advance and giving them the choice to watch it.
Whilst it is uplifting in its' theme, the story is real and somewhat emotional.
Still I recommend viewing! They are a remarkable group of people, including the tireless patience of the chorus leader.
Enjoy,

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!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
