"Young At Heart," live and in Somerville

I've been warily eyeing the poster for "Young@Heart" in the window of our beloved local moviehouse, the Screening Room, for some weeks now. Do I really want to see a flick about a bunch of oldsters rocking out? Or is too uncomfortably close to my own classic-rockin' heart?
