Men with Brooms

2002-12-08 18:35:21+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Last night I needed to stay up 'til 8 or 9, but didn't have the brain power to do anything, so we rented the silliest thing we could find at the video store: Men With Brooms. Given the state I was in I can't really make any recommendations, but I'll try. Every breakthrough sport needs its featuring movie. Inline skating had Airborne[Wiki]. Skydiving had Point Break[Wiki]. Men With Brooms[Wiki] is curling's breakthrough movie. It was less farcical than I expected, the curling bits were played straight up, and this didn't mesh seamlessly with some of the more bizarre aspects of the story. But I do appreciate curling a lot more now.
