Young@Heart
Prepare to be entertained by the inspiring individuals of Young@Heart, a New England senior citizens chorus that has delighted audiences worldwide with their covers of songs by everyone from The Clash to Coldplay. As Stephen Walker's documentary begins, the retirees, led by their strict musical director, are rehearsing their new show, struggling with a discordant Sonic Youth number and giving new meaning to James Brown's "I Feel Good." What ultimately emerges is a funny and unexpectedly moving testament to friendship, creative inspiration and reaching beyond expectations.

Watch out - it's a documentary!
Admittedly, now I see the title etc. quite clearly states this DVD is a documentary - but I obviously missed that when I added it to my list.
It follows a group of elderly (but very spritely) people as they sing 'unconventional' tunes!
The members of the group are likeable in the main, but the director of the group left me feeling nothing but hatred for him!!!
A weird documentary, which I'm surprised made it to DVD... I wouldn't recommend, but then, you know your own taste!!! -

It sounds like your worst nightmare: a documentary about a group of old age pensioners… singing… off-key, mostly. Trust me, anyone with a granny, an aging parent, or plans to get old should watch this movie. And what’s more, you’ll enjoy it too. Directed by Stephen Walker and produced by Channel Four last year, Young@Heart got a new lease of life after acclaimed appearances at film festivals (including Sundance) and a successful North American release.
