It's the concert event rock 'n' roll fans have always dreamed about: The Clash, The Ramones, Talking Heads, Sonic Youth, Coldplay. Wha...? No, the trailer's just kidding with you; it's not really that sort of legendary lineup. It's a senior citizens group that performs covers of rock songs. And it's actually sort of rocking. Granted, they're not the greatest singers on the planet, but you can't fault these folks for trying--for getting out there and doing it. And as their instructor warns, if we're lucky, someone might pass a kidney stone. The voiceover guy isn't helping things with the talk of how inspiring and standing-ovation-worthy this documentary is. The old folks sell it perfectly fine by themselves, with their humor, their love for music, and, yes, even their bravery to get up and perform. It really might be the best concert film you'll ever see. At the least, it will be unlike any of the others. -- DeAnn Welker
