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.


4 out of 5 stars Better Than I Imagined - a First Rate Documentary    December 31, 2008
Daniel G. Lebryk
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.

The good, the rehersals are pretty funny. There is no major mind-numbing repitition of songs performed, the director kept that fresh. The final performance is wonderful. There aren't too many back story biographies to confuse the viewer.
The bad, the sound mix is a bit strange. The dynamic range is way too large, music / siniging is extremely loud and dialog is muffled. There's actually a spot or two where the surround channels cut in and out. There is some truth to the humor wearing thin after a while, old people singing rock music.

A decent film for the family. Younger children might not be exactly very interested in the story. But there is nothing objectionable in the film.


4 out of 5 stars An absolute delight!    December 27, 2008
Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas)
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" seem to get the better of the singers, but with grit and determination they overcome problems of pitch, rhythm, and lyrics to deliver a knock-out performance. All is not sweetness and light, however, as we get a behind-the-scenes look at some members who are battling life-threatening diseases, and for whom the chorus seems to be the only thing keeping them alive. The Young at Heart members truly care about one another and the poignant ending shows the strong connection they have with music and with one another.
