My husband and I sat down the other night and watched "Men With Brooms" (2002) Starring Paul Gross-a very good looking Canadian man, which in my mind makes him instantly attainable. Neil had purchased it standing in line at a drug store with our three year old screaming for attention from a chocolate bar that was clearly giving her a bad look-her solution had been to ask us to buy it for her to "bite its head off".
Back to the film at hand though, we had to watch it through claims of insatiable thurst and an excessivley small bladder so its a little skewed. It takes place in a Canadian town, smallish-I wasn't paying close enough attention. Basically a curling coach dies leaving behind an outlandish request or two reguarding his old "rink" requiring them to get back together and form an unstoppable force of CURLING POWER. Well not really, they have to win a local championship of some sort. Its cute and funny with a love triangle-and Leslie Neilson provides the vast majority of the comedic propulsion in the film. With a not so veiled refrence to old man drug addiction-which is always hilarious when hes growing his own surplus of "Medicinal Shrooms".
This was a good non-thinking film, and it had me cheering for the guys in the right times, and laughing at points that seemed to hold the humour. The only relatable part to this movie is my family has a strong curling history thats still strong and prominent in family outing occasionally.
This was not really worth more than the $4.99 we paid for it. I remember hints of seeing it in a theater, but to be honest I believe I was engaging in teenage activities that weren't appropriate for ANYTHING. Which translates to a hazy memory of seeing sound and the munchies.

My Introduction
Hello there,
My name is Courtney Smith, I am a 24 year married mom with a beautiful girl. I reside in Alberta, Canada and am a rather joyfully pleasent person. With a habit. An expensive habit, one that can-will get me into trouble one day.
Movies, buying, renting, going to see, talking about glorious, awe inspiring, laughter inducing, MOVIES. Bad movies, cheesey movies, oscar winning movies, silent movies, even one or two "adult genre" movies. I have them all-in a large wooden cabinet purchased for three dollars at a yard sale still in the box. The cabinet cost less than the average DVD. I even have a job at a Music/Movie store to get the discount.
One day I had made my husband go through boxes and boxes of my seritonin inducing product to sort into genre and then alphabetically. and I realized I hadn't watched a number of them in years and years. This realization was easy to come by as I dont sit on the floor, lift boxes, or sort-so I had lots of time to think about this. Did I mention I also made him hold up the covers for me to contemplate? So as a challenge to each other, and a way to save money we are going to watch them all. Every single title. All 518 movies, and I'm going to tell you about them...all of them. Not in a review way-more as a whats drawn me to it, and why I keep watching someo of them over and over. Or why I had to wipe dust off of the movies.
I sincerely hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
