A documentary about an inspiring senior citizen's choir--they show what it means to enjoy life and live out your dreams at any age! The film is humorous, but also underscores the realities of immortality.

This charming documentary follows a community choir of senior singers who perform rock and pop songs as they prepare for a major upcoming performance. It’s alternately hilarious and devastating; many of the performers are in poor health,…

Joyful and life affirming, this film follows a Senior Chorus over a year. This is what aging can, and should look like!

“Age gracefully? I think not! Age ferociously instead.” After watching this movie I think I know who came up with that saying. Barely twenty minutes into the film I was clapping and singing and having as much fun as the choir. I was…

It's never too late to love life. I watch this movie over again every year and delight in watching a simple senior citizens's choir turn into a full-fledged phenomenon.

In 1982, Bob Cilman was working in a Northampton Massachusetts nursing home, feeding residents, when one of his colleagues suggested he play guitar with the old folks after supper. Cilman had had a short-lived career in rock ‘n’ roll (most…

This doc was great! I was even skeptical about it at first. I laughed a lot and liked the renditions of the songs. I love older people! My favourite line is when this gentleman is singing "I Feel Good" by James Brown and uses the line…

Uplifting documentary reminding us of the power of music and that you are never too old to embrace what life has to offer. Every community should have a choir like this one.

This was fun - a documentary about a seniors' choral group called "Young at Heart" - from Massachusetts. They perform rock and roll songs. They do a good job and have a great attitude towards life.

Very interesting film that I initially dismissed but rather enjoyed when I actually saw it. Including a version of Sonic Youth's "Schizophrenia" was a stroke of genius.

This was a great film! I'd love to see them perform. It gives us hope for something fun to do when we get old - something to keep us out of trouble!

Loved this film. Their version of "I Wanna Be Sedated" kicks ass. A real heart-warming feel good movie with some bittersweet moments. As soon as I finished watching, I went to the Young @ Heart website to see if they are touring…

Wonderful documentary of seniors averaging 80? singing songs from James Brown to Cold Play to packed houses in Europe. I laughed and I wept, what a heartwarming wonderful story!

I absolutely loved this movie! It is a charming, sweet, and heart-breaking documentary about a seniors choir where the average age is 80. If you loved Mad Hot Ballroom or Spellbound, you will love this movie. Some truly great singing and…
