    A wacky, heartfelt and hilarious comedy. A great film. Filled with great laughs, compelling characters, smart lines and lots of music from great bands. The actors have sharp and compelling chemistry. Paul Gross crafts a wonderfully crafted and well-written movie gem. Giving his b...( read more)est and most liketable performance and character since his Tv show Due South. Leslie Nielson is brilliant. men with brooms is a comic dazzeler.

    A significant let-down. Can-con is forced into every minimal opening - especially the soundtrack - and I expected something much more intelligent from Paul Gross... or at the very least, that he'd not outdo the Mighty Ducks franchise for sheer disregard for the rules, technique o...( read more)r culture of a given sport. Leslie Nielsen, however, is better in this one than he is in most movies, and the straight-ahead sports movie plot makes one able to stick it out. Barely.

    mmm... Paul Gross... mmm... Oh, hi there. Your eyes don't fool you, it is indeed a movie with curling at the center of it. And you know what, it's really charming. Unlike other sports movies I like this one. You should see it.

    Curling is such a fascinating game and that aspect of this film made it very interesting indeed. I really liked this film. I feel the characters are very well developed, and it's unusual plot makes it special. Definitely a winner.

    Paul Gross and company bring us a decent comedy centered around curling. Now the story is entertaining and some of the characters are very interesting. You can tell this has the Canadian cinema feel and look to it. Paul Gross plays the lead character very well. They try and bring...( read more) some coolness or excitment to the sport of curling during the movie. I have played and watched curling. It's not that exciting or cool. The film has a great soundtrack. You even get a cameo from the Tragically hip.

    This was a very good movie! Paul Gross was excellent in this and Molly Parker gives an excellent performance as well. Great supporting cast for this movie. There are some very funny scenes in this and it has a nice pace to it.

    I was so disappointed. However this film does hint at a vast improvement in the quality of Canadian films.
