This Movie Is Broken is a 2010 Canadian film directed by Bruce McDonald. A cross between a romantic comedy and a concert film, the film stars Greg Calderone as Bruno, a young man hoping to convince his longtime crush Caroline (Georgina Reilly) to become his girlfriend by taking her to a Broken Social Scene concert at Harbourfront.[1]

The concert segments were recorded at the band's Harbourfront show on July 11, 2009, following the cancellation of that year's Olympic Island Festival due to the 2009 Toronto strike.

The film's theatrical premiere was held at Toronto's NXNE festival in 2010.[2]
