Movie Reviews of Men With Brooms
Movie Review: Men with Brooms
Summary: 2 Stars
If you love the sport of curling, do not watch this movie! The acting is just okay. Don't let your kids watch this movie as there is a lot of profanity in it. The movie isn't awful, but it isn't good either. The curling action is not realistic.Movie Review: Deserves zero stars - cliché festival
Summary: 1 Stars
This is supposed to be "Canada packaged for American audiences", with curling as the main subject. Yes, it is what Ebert calls a CLIDVIC - "Climb from Despair to Victory" standard sports cliché, which is already bad enough... BUT it is also a romantic comedy, and a "everyone has problems that require lots of soul-searching" story, both of which miserably fail. To add insult to injury, its ending is even worse and more simplistic than a standard CLIDVIC ending. Considering all the good Canadian movies available right now (get your hands on "L'Odyssée d'Alice Tremblay" if you can), this is a totally worthless movie and its producers should be executed for treason.
Movie Review: If only we could choose no stars
Summary: 1 Stars
This is one of the worst movies ever made. I love Paul Gross, but his ego is too big even for the vast expanse of the Canadian north, and this is essentially his big ego party, with all his favorite people playing on that for him. Molly Parker, from Deadwood, is wasted here, and she usually brings a quality to anything she's in. It's filled with Gross's obsession with scatalogical "humor," really bad slapstick "comedy," and generally makes Canadians look very bad indeed. When Molly Parker's character says "I'd rather s*** in my mouth" in response to a fairly benign question, I knew I was in for a bad time.Movie Review: Mildly entertaining rubbish really
Summary: 1 Stars
We're great fans of Paul Gross who stars in this film. This was supposed to be clever and tongue in cheek comedy, but was pretty rubbishy really. The humour was far beneath Paul's other works (Due South, and Slings and Arrows, for example). The film was entertaining enough, but tepid. We didn't even really feel like we'd learned much about curling particularly, either.. but then we're Canadian already so what more is there to know?! We enjoy and "get" Canadian humour but this was definitely the shallow end of it. If you buy the video as part of a combined postage deal, great; if not, give it a miss.Movie Review: Gross is gross
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered Season #1 plus men with brooms offer. Beware...Men with brooms is R rated. Gross is GROSS. The movie is made only for shock value. This is a big let down from the esteemed Canadian Mountie, Benton Fraser.
