Score: A Hockey Musical - Starlight Cinema, Stouffville

Details:
Home-schooled by his flakey parents, Farley Gordon has little congress with the outside world. His bohemian parents find competition vulgar, preventing him from ever playing an organized game of hockey. Farley’s life is changed forever when he’s spotted by Walt Acorn, the owner of a junior hockey team. The young teen is an immediate sensation, offered ads and profiled in every major Canadian sports magazine. But fame is a double-edged sword, and soon Farley’s core beliefs (most notably his pacifism) are sorely tested. Can Farley remain true to himself or will he give in to pressure from his teammates and drop his gloves? And will his lifelong non-romance romance with his best friend Eve ever come to fruition? Whether out on the ice or in the dressing room, the film is a full-on musical, with the cast breaking into song in the strangest of environments and situations. Lyrically, the numbers are downright hilarious while the choreography is surprisingly complex. A truly unique film, Score: A Hockey Musical gently and affectionately mocks our near-religious obsession with the game from one of our best young filmmakers.
