Upon the death of her husband, Claire (70) decides to reconnect with her estranged son, down and out R&B musician Sid. She asks him to help her restart the old girl group she used to sing in with two of her friends from the old days. The rebel son is hesitant at first but eventually agrees under one condition: the band has to play HIS music.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
Enthoven and his screenwriters walk a fine line between celebrating the vitality of the elderly and asking us to laugh at their youthful affectations, twice embarrassing his three septuagenarians by forcing them to sing along to Technotronic's "Pump Up the Jam."

Calculated Belgian crowd-pleaser.
Like Stephen Walker's delicate nonfiction portrait "Young@Heart," it's a genuine heart-tugger about senior citizens rediscovering their youth by singing pop music; like Craig Brewer's crowdpleasing "Hustle & Flow," it sympathizes with a struggling rap artist without glossing over his flaws.

This drippy dramedy embraces every inappropriate-oldster cliché with depressing calculation.

Despite the silly-sounding premise, it's a wistful, bittersweet meditation on aging and death.
It's also sugary and has a silly tear-jerker ending. But I found myself laughing at the film's gentle humor, anyway.
