Film: SCORE-A HOCKEY MUSICAL April 16, 2011

This film screening is part of the Chicago International Movie and Music Festival.

The opening-night film of the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival is a sweet-natured musical about the toughest sport. A hockey prodigy with the skills of Patrick Kane and the pipes of Justin Bieber has trouble reconciling the values of his pacifist parents (including Olivia Newton-John as his mother!) with the violence of his chosen profession. When he attempts to fit in with the big boys, he risks alienating his loved ones. Featuring everyone’s favorite former Blackhawk, Theo Fleury, as himself.

Film screened with: “Beat” (short musical film, New Zealand, directed by Virginia Pitts)

US Premiere
Director: Michael McGowan
