Storyline
Long Bay resident Donald Foley, a life long curler and more recent curling coach, has just passed away. He has requested that his cremated ashes be bored into a specific curling stone he has just had retrieved from the bottom of Long Bay. His will also has a non-binding codicil to reunite the last team he coached to curl in the Golden Broom Bonspiel in town, a Long Bay team which has never won and that team which was the closest ever to doing so. Donald wants that specific stone in which he is buried to be delivered as the final shot to sit on the button for the win for the Long Bay team. Beyond the four team members not having curled at all since their last bonspiel ten years ago, they each have issues in their lives which may make coming together as a team and winning, and curling in its entirety difficult or a non-priority. Lead Neil Bucyk's life is directed by his controlling wife Linda, a right she believes she has as his livelihood is in her family's business, a funeral home. ... Written by Huggo

In the preliminary round game between the Long Bay and Butte rinks, the rock that Cutter throws that eventually gets burned by the sweeper travels down the right side of sheet as he throws it. The portal that he is aiming for and which the rock eventually goes through is on the left side of the sheet. See more »Quotes

This show is now a classic among my friends and family. The jokes are almost inside jokes to all of us Canadians. Its great how it plays on a lot of the usual stereotypes the world knows us for but has so many things that are only funny if you live here & thus actually GET IT! Even the Canadian product placements were meant to be funny. It was great to see so many familiar faces from the vast amount of Canadian talent there is out there. This movie is like the hilarious TV show Corner Gas in all its great Canadiana. I'm sure if you're not Canadian you just won't get it. The curling is awesome. I love how they have actual known curlers playing mixed with people known for things here other than curling. When you live here curling gets under your skin. It IS an exciting game. Something as minute as a hair on the ice can change the whole game. I love how this movie captured its ups and downs. Some of the camera shots for the curling games were really creative. Overall I'd have to say that this is one of the best and funniest Canadian movies ever made!
