Young at Heart

The film's first half is human-interest-storypeppy, but as one chorus member after another stares down his imminent mortality, the film grows darker and more heart-wrenching.

The devil may have all the best tunes, but it’s the elderly who nail them. Charming, heartwarming and totally kick-ass, you’ll never look at your grandparents in the same way.

The movie is valuable in that it tackles head-on subjects that are verboten in our fastidious pop culture: old age and death.

...it's hard not to be touched by the group's performance at a local prison, the performers and inmates discovering solidarity in a shared familiarity with the desire for joy and sorrow of loss.

It's a simple chronicle of admirable people that's part humor, part sentimentality, and part inspiration.
