The first time I saw Paul Gross' Men with Brooms, it may have been a sanitized TV version (though Canadian TV doesn't usually do that), because I don't remember it being so scatological in its first half-hour. Potty humor aside, it remains a fun, offbeat sports comedy that treats curling the same way others treat baseball (i.e. as poetry). You can pretty much expect that odd Canadian mix of eccentric characters, zany humor and truthful, well-acted moments. I do think it goes overboard in its conclusion, which feels like a parody of the Hollywoodian "happy ending". But fun. And the three leads are people that are always watchable - Gross himself, Leslie Nielson and the soulful Molly Parker. 8 years 9 months ago
