Eye Candy #353 - "Men with Brooms"

Men with Brooms:  A slight, very slight comedy about the sport of curling (from the Canadian perspective), those obsessed with it, and the lives they lead. I rented this because I'm a fan of Paul Gross and just about anything he touches, even the really crappy stuff. He plays the "skipper" of a curling team that helps get the gang back together to win the Golden Broom for his recently deceased coach. Leslie Nielsen and Molly Parker co-star as Gross' father and love interest respectively. Some random laughs here and there, and actually a very good soundtrack composed exclusively of Canadian musicians (like Our Lady Peace, Matthew Good Band, etc.). It was okay, but didn't stick with me for long. Woodchuck sez, "Maybe up your alley. Maybe not."
