A more genuinely sweet and uplifting documentary I have not seen in quite a while.

Sure, these 'zesty', 'lively' old folks are enjoying themselves. The question is why on earth we should be expected to watch.

Young@Heart is nothing less than an ode to joy.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Fresh

An undeniably sweet mix of disarming honesty, inspired gumption and brutal reality, Young@Heart somehow manages to avoid the maudlin while enhancing the obvious with its portrait of a chorus of senior citizens who sing contemporary rock songs.

Tom Long, Detroit News

What makes Young@Heart such an ingratiating experience goes far deeper than the novelty of seeing old people singing hard rock tunes.

Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
