A decade ago, curler Chris Cutter (Paul Gross) disappeared suddenly on the verge of stardom, dropping his curling stones to the bottom of a lake and leaving his fiancée, Julie Foley (Michelle Nolden), at the altar. But when his former coach dies, Cutter returns home for the funeral and attempts to fulfill the man's last wishes. The team is reunited under Cutter's estranged dad, Gordon (Leslie Nielsen) -- himself a former curling star -- for a final attempt at glory.

3/5

Serving as director, writer and lead, Paul Gross -- who enjoyed brief fame in the TV Mountie show Due South -- imbues his film with that series' same languid Canadian charm.

It makes you believe the cast and crew thoroughly enjoyed themselves and believed in their small-budget film.

Someday, a creative filmmaker may make an involving movie on the unique sport of curling. Men With Brooms, however, is not that movie.

The filmmakers have great fun mixing and matching the game's metaphors. With such gags as a sweat lodge of hot curling rocks, they send up and glorify its rituals all at once.

On one hand, it's a Canadian movie about curling, so points for originality and cultural pride... On the other hand, almost all of those points for originality come back off, because... we can see it all coming from the opening scenes. I mean, everything.

1.5/5

While curling enthusiasts may be delighted to see their little-known sport featured in a film, actor-director Paul Gross never manages to make it seem interesting to newcomers.
