Young at Heart

Young at Heart (2007)
This movie had popped up in our local international film festival, but crazy screening times meant we were unable to see it. Luckily the favorites return, so we didn't have to wait long to see this one.

Basically it is a documentary following a chorus made up of singers aged from 73-92 in the states. The difference is instead of singing show tunes, these chaps and ladies sing songs from James Brown, the Rolling Stones, Talking Heads and Coldplay.

As well as showing the choirs practices and fantastic videos, we get to see a bit about a few of them and learn about their lives, and their love of their singing group.

As well as lots of laughs, I managed to cry my mascara off, so take a tissue. I'm going to step up and give it my first 5/5 for the year (and the whole blog). Take a tissue and go and see it, or rent it at the video store. Perfect.
