Entertainment Weekly, 04/18/2008, p.47, "[They] make joyful music, communicated, both by the singers and their playful, sensitive documentarian, with an authority that quite knocks of socks." -- Grade: A- New York Times, 04/11/2008, "The movie offers an encouraging vision of old age in which the depression commonly associated with decrepitude is held at bay by music making, camaraderie and a sense of humor." Los Angeles Times, 04/11/2008, "The irresistible New England chorus of senior citizens proves you're never too old to rock....It's as much of a heady tonic for these folks to take on these unlikely lyrics as it is for us to watch it all go down." USA Today, 04/10/2008, 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "YOUNG@HEART focuses on a few engaging performers and gives us a window into their lives and philosophies on aging." Distributor NoteGet 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! Release NoteDVD Features: DVD Features: Product NotesAs early as autumn 2006, surreal and hilarious video clips of Stephen Walker's documentary (which originally aired on the BBC) were making the rounds on YouTube and in email inboxes all over the U.S.--tantalizing, out-of-context glimpses of the Young@Heart vocal choir, composed of elderly men and women, having a go at chestnuts by Sonic Youth, the Clash, and the Ramones. It seemed that the feature film, re-released for the screen in 2008, would perhaps be an uncomfortably comic look at a bunch of geezers set up to look ridiculous for the smug delectation of hipster audiences everywhere. The reality is not so far off-base, at least on first glance, but Walker's film, tracking the progress of the chorus as they prepare for a big gig, provides enough good-natured humor, personal narrative, and intimate details to inspire respect and admiration--and some major heart-string-plucking--in filmgoers.
