MEN WITH BROOMS

Men With Brooms is a romantic comedy in which four friends reunite after ten years for their former curlingcoach’s funeral. The foursome try to sweep the past behind them to win the coveted Golden Broom championship and bring honor and pride to their small home town. The film stars Paul Gross, Molly Parker, Polly Shannon, and Leslie Nielsen, and is directed by Paul Gross from an original screenplay by Gross and John Krizanc.

Ten years ago, Chris Cutter (Paul Gross) an ex-curling star throws away his chance to win the Golden Broom and a chance at love, leaving his fiancé Julie Foley (Michelle Nolden). By giving up his dream he has doomed his other three teamates, Neil Bucyk (James Allodi), James Lennox (Peter Outerbridge) and Eddie Strombeck (Jed Rees) to troubled and dissatisfied lives. But Cutter's former Coach has thought of an idea that just might change all their fates.

The Coach dreams up a plan that involves reclaiming the curling rocks from the bottom of Trout Lake but while raising the rocks, the Coach dies of a heart attack. Returning for the funeral, Cutter grows nostalgic for Long Bay and those he left behind. It is not until Cutter reads his coach's will when he realizes that he must stick to the plan. Coach Foley wants his ashes placed in the curling team's Copernicus stone; he wants Cutter to re-form the Long Bay Curling Club team; and moreover, he wants them to place his stone -- now his urn -- on the "button" (the curling ring bull's eye) to finally win the Golden Broom.

Realizing that the team needs a coach in order to win, Cutter calls upon an eccentric retired curling champion - his estranged father Gordon Cutter (Leslie Nielsen). Thus, these four men with brooms, along with their coach, set off on a comedic journey which takes them from frozen lakes to huge arenas, searching for perfect stones, lost loves and second chances.

*The original soundtrack of this motion picture features artists such as Our Lady Peace, Tragically Hip and includes unreleased tracks from Sarah Harmer, Kathleen Edwards and Chantal Kreviaziuk.
