I saw the trailer for Young @ Heart when I went to see Juno (terrific movie, btw), and like the true dork that I am, I laughed my ass off at it. It’s a documentary about the Young @ Heart Chorus; a group of New England-based senior citizens that get together to sing songs you never thought you’d hear coming from grandparents (there’s no “Bingo was his name-o” going on here). So what’s so funny about a bunch of old people singing songs from The Clash, The Ramones, and The Rolling Stones? Everything!

What really appeals to me about this movie is that it seems to be everything most documentaries aren’t: heartfelt, hopeful, and uplifting. As someone with a grandparent who’s wasting away in front of my family’s eyes, it’s nice to see a group of old folks with some spirit left in them. They may be a bit tone deaf, and a bit too slow to always be on the beat, but they’re out there doing their thing, and making lazy young whippersnappers look like the boring ones. You had me at “Yes I can”, Young @ Heart, I’ll RENT IT.

Young @ Heart is not rated and opens in select cities April 18.
