Title: A Total Joy
Review: My now deceased mom bought me a ukelele when I was a boy, but I wasn't the least bit interested. Yet, Stanley brings more than his ukelele to the nursing home ... he brings a loving heart and patiently helps a former jazz singer out of a deep depression to sing once again. The music in the film is superb and the acting never once overshadows the story. In an age when people seem to only want action, sex and violence, it's wonderful to watch a movie that focuses on what really counts in life: genuine kindness and selflessness. I am now a fan of the ukelele and have understood why mom wanted me to learn to play; she would have truly loved this film. It's not cut out for younger audiences, yet for those who have tender hearts, Stanley's Gig is a real diamond in the rough.
