I missed this documentary at Sundance this year, so I'm thrilled that it's coming out this Friday in limited release. The trailer alone for Young @ Heart brings tears to my eyes — but not sad tears. The film follows the Young@Heart Chorus of Northampton, Massachusetts which consists of about two dozen senior citizens who sing covers of rock, punk and R&B classics with the help of their choir director Bob Cilman. They perform for everyone from inmates at a nearby prison to sold-out crowds at the local concert hall.
I'll post my review of the movie later this week, but just the trailer is totally inspiring so read more.

I saw this trailer a few months ago, maybe when I went to see Juno or something. Anyway, I can't WAIT for this movie. It looks so hilarious.
1"I Wanna Be Sedated" was priceless! And I got teary-eyed, too. I can't wait to see this now!
2I am so looking forward to seeing this one.
3This was one of the last movies I saw at Sundance, and I barely made it in, the wait-list line was sooooo long. Totally worth it though, made me laugh, made me cry. Very moving! I went to school at UMass, I can't believe I never heard of the group.
4Awww...that movie looks great. Definitely made me tear up. I'm sure I'll be crying during the actual film!
