Paul Gross did Passchendaele in 2008 which I reviewed and liked a lot now I bumped into a comedy he did in 2002 and runs a just right 102 minutes.Oh Canada can be funny at times,re curling and thats a theme of this movie set with the death of a old man who's wish id for his old curling team reunite and win the "golden broom"If you expect to understand curling after this picture,you won't as it nothing but shuffle board on ice. However it suits as the center of bring together those who have drifted apart in a distinct Canadian way.The movie starts slow but when Leslie Nielsen arrives its takes of.Fine acting throughout by a mainly Canadian cast so do check it out. It's not "Canadian Bacon" which was a US laugh at Canada but rather a funny take on getting on and getting buy with a knock at themselves via that silly Scottish game that Canadians love for no-good reason. This is the kind of gem I look for and will add to my collection.I only took 1/2 star off for the slow start.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.Oh some good music by a Canadian band called The Tragically Hip throughout the film but not original to the movie.
Paul Gross stars as the leader of a recently reunited curling team from a small Canadian town. This offbeat comedy follows the team as they work through their respective life issues and struggle to win the championship for the sake of their late coach. Written by Alea Intrica
