YouNg @ HeaRt
Directed by: Stephen Walker
Rated PG for mild language. 108 minutes.
View the Trailer: www.foxsearchlight.com/youngatheartThe Rolling Stones, as it turns out, are not the only senior citizens singing rock 'n' roll. Another, rather unexpected group is singing lyrics that are more cutting edge and performing on-screen antics that are considerably more amusing. You won't believe the world of Young @ Heart, but you'll have a hard time resisting it.
The Young @ Heart Chorus is a 24-member singing group from Northampton, Mass., average age 80, who spend a chunk of their golden years touring the world and singing covers of songs from groups like the Talking Heads, the Clash and Coldplay. It's safe to say that the Ramone's "I Wanna Be Sedated" and the Bee Gee's "Stayin' Alive" have never had more heartfelt renditions.
This may sound like a suspect enterprise, a musical gimmick impossible to embrace, but the reality is otherwise. For what the members of this uncanny chorus lack in pure ability they make up for in irrepressible spirits and a desire to simply have fun. 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.
With an organization whose members are this old, the question of mortality is bound to come up, and that turns out to be one of the shocks as well as one of the graces of Young @ Heart. When the chorus sings Bob Dylan's "Forever Young" to an audience at Hampshire jail at a particularly emotional moment, many of the inmates are literally moved to tears.
What we learn is that the age of these singers is not some glib contrivance but the heart of the matter. In a culture that venerates youth and considers aging the worst of all fates, to see these men and women having the time of their lives near the end of their lives couldn't be more refreshing. We want these wonderfully alive people to go on singing forever, most of all, perhaps, because we know there's no way they can. (Excerpted from the Lost Angeles Times)

"Their humor is so genuine and their enthusiasm so infections, it would seem hard for an audience not to be swept away."-Variety
"A very special experience. The movie works like a charm. Immensely moving."-The Boston Globe
