Movie Reviews of Men With Brooms
Movie Review: Fun and human, but don't look for anything too serious
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this movie, but I don't know if it's for everyone. It is a "sports" movie, but the sport is really a page upon which to draw the human drama. It's about realizing what is really important and being able to look yourself in the mirror... but I wouldn't watch it if that was all that it was. I am easily bored with drama, and don't want to waste my limited free time being upset about the problems of imaginary people. If I am going to watch a movie, I want to me ENTERTAINED. This movie paints the human aspects with broad strokes of the absurd, and unexpected moments of clarity. Beware that it has its fair share of bad language, and the quest for offspring leads to a number of scenes that people a generation older than me (Boomers +) would surely feel were in poor taste, but it is always done tongue-in-cheek with what I feel is an awareness of the overall hilarity of the human condition. To sum it all up, I'd say it was funny, and ... sweet.
Summary of Men With Brooms
What could be funnier than the sport played with a broom that so clearly separates americans from canadians? leslie nielsen stars as the eccentric coach of a dysfunctional curling team on a quest to win canadas greatest curling event the golden broom. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 10/29/2002 Starring: Paul Gross Leslie Nielsen Run time: 102 minutes Rating: NrCall it The Full Monty on ice. With tongue firmly in cheek, director-writer-star Paul Gross applies the old underdog sports-team formula to that great Northern obsession: curling. (You thought hockey was the national obsession? So did Canada.) You know the score: estranged teammates reunite to fulfill a dead man's last request, win glory for their fictional hometown, and earn back their hibernating self-respect. Square-jawed Gross recalls his Due South days as the amiable team captain, a boy scout with an impish streak. Leslie Nielsen turns down the usual goofball shtick to play Gross's crotchety, self-medicating father. There are enough issues here to fuel a dozen movies and none of them packs the punch of a pint of Molson's beer, which is just the right tone for this off-center sports spoof, a story of little victories, big stones, and beavers on the move. --Sean Axmaker
