... that Score: A Hockey Musical has been described as "so Canadian it hurts"?

Source: "A high-shticking breakaway", Rick Groen, The Globe and Mail ProQuest 749452350 "In 339 films from 59 counties, TIFF the vast festival is so pluralistic it entrances; in this one film from the host country, Score: A Hockey Musical is so Canadian it hurts."

ALT1: ... that Score: A Hockey Musical opened five international film festivals in the month before the 2010–11 NHL season? Source: Groen (as above): "Score: A Hockey Musical will screen as the opening-night film in five festivals across Canada, including Toronto on Sept. 9, Halifax on Sept. 16, Sudbury on Sept. 18, Calgary on Sept. 23 and Edmonton on Sept. 24." and NBC Sports "NHL releases full 2010–2011 schedule of events" "NHL Face-Off-the League’s annual launch event in North America-welcomes the beginning of the 2010-11 NHL season in North America on Oct. 7 with the Toronto Maple Leafs hosting arch-rival Montreal Canadiens live on CBC."
ALT2: ... that the premiere of Score: A Hockey Musical has been called "disastrous", "embarrassing" and "infamous" despite receiving a standing ovation? Source: Craig Takeuchi "Will the Bollywood-spiced Breakaway beat Canada's Score as a hockey musical?" The Georgia Straight quote: "The ill-advised, WTF idea to blend musicals with Canada's most beloved sport, hockey, proved to be a disastrous combination for last year's Cancon atrocity Score: A Hockey Musical." + Will Sloan "Score: A Hockey Musical " Exclaim! quote: "Score: A Hockey Musical is a musical/comedy/inspirational sports movie that fails resoundingly on every level. That it was selected to open the Toronto International Film Festival is embarrassing." + Justine Smith "The strength of this year's Canadian lineup comes from TIFF's focus on fresh and innovative young voices" National Post quote: "The negative impression of Canadian film - certainly not helped by Score: A Hockey Musical, the Toronto International Film Festival's (TIFF) infamous 2010 opening night movie".

5× expansion of 4 March 2024‎ version completed from 1,888 characters to 20,402 and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected (high confidence of violation due to direct quotes from reviews that have all been cited; AGF sources which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Main hook is 74 characters long (ALT1 is 113; ALT2 is 141); all three are under 200 character max. and are interesting. Refs 46 (verifying the main hook and ALT1), 54 (verifying ALT1), 66, 69, and 72 (verifying ALT2) are reliable sources. QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 00:21, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
