DVD Reviews of Men With Brooms
DVD Review: SWWEEEEPP!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Men with Brooms is a great movie to watch. I got it on Amazon for a fair price and it was delivered very quickly. Thank you.DVD 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.DVD Review: Men With Brooms
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie about curling and relationships. I am not a curling fan; but I thought the filming of the curling action was exceptional. The movie was funny and very entertaining. I also loved the outtakes at the end of the film.DVD 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.DVD Review: Men with Brooms what a hoot!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie, it is so funny, but then you may need to be Canadian and a curler to enjoy it to it's full extent. Loaned my VHS copy to a friend, when I got this DVD copy, gave the other to him, he was so happy! Good curling humor! Bin there .... done that! GOtta love Paul Gross and Leslie Nielsen in this one!
Description 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
