Last night my brother Tait and I went and saw 'Score' the hockey musical. I was delightfully fascinated with both the songs and the story...I know when it comes to DVD it is one that I will purchase for sure! It has been labeled as “A warm, irreverent and irresistibly goofy love letter to Canada's national pastime.” The Hollywood Reporter, Michael Rechtshaffen
Seventeen-year old Farley (Noah Reid) has the stick-handling skills of the next Sidney Crosby. Not that Farley has any idea who Crosby is. He’s led a sheltered life, homeschooled by parents (Olivia Newton-John and Marc Jordan) whose idea of homework is trips to an art gallery or ashram. His best friend is Eve (Allie MacDonald), the girl who’s lived next door since they were both three. Much to the dismay of his parents, Farley loves to play shinny with the local rink rats (Dave Bidini, Hawksley Workman et al.). To their even greater dismay, Farley is signed to a major hockey league, where he achieves instant stardom, throwing him into a world of hype. Farley soon finds that hockey fame comes with a price, including the expectation to fight. Throw in a changing relationship with Eve – and Farley is losing his way

Special Performance of "Hockey (The Greatest Game)" at TIFF 2010!
Looks like an awesome movie Becky!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised there hasn't been more hockey movies made. There's been a few humour ones done, like the Mighty Ducks but I think there would be interest in a real serious NHL type of movie. I think there's been a sad lack of race car films as well. Yes that music bank above played very well! : )
