Young @ Heart

An inspiring, heart braking, wildly entertaining documentary that is somewhat brought down by the pompous and too on the nose narration of its director. The characters are the real stars here but he keeps interjecting reciting exactly what is happening or about to happen on screen. It's not enough to bring the whole film though and when he is out of the way you will find yourself completely caught up in the story of these senior citizens and their choir singing modern rock songs.

NOTE: No idea why the title of the movie is Young @ Heart and not Young at Heart, which is the actual name of the choir. I guess they were trying to appeal to the younger, text message crowd.

NOTE 2: There are also a few music videos that pop up time to time with a few of the choir members doing songs such as I Wanna Be Sedated, or Stayin' Alive. These add nothing to the overall story and seem like something that should show up as a DVD extra then been placed within the narrative. The first one was cute but after the third one showed up I was just waiting for them to end.
