    • Trivia
      The Tragically Hip, one of Canada's most popular rock bands, appear in this film as team Kingston. All five members hail from Kingston, and four still reside there permanently.
    • Goofs
      Paul Cutter's moral dilemma as a cheater is entirely contrary to the rules of curling. Canadian and world curling rules require players to call their own infractions. In the situations depicted in the film, "burning" a moving stone is an infraction by the sweepers, not the player delivering the stone. It's the responsibility of the front end, never up to Cutter, to call the burned stones.
    • Quotes

      Alexander "The Juggernaut" Yount: I've played on a lot of ice, all over this planet we call home, but I don't believe I've seen a better shot. It's been a pleasure.

      James Lennox: "On this planet we call home?"

      Chris Cutter: Hey, whatever.

    One of the worst films I've ever seen.
    How more Canadian can you get? A movie about curling starring Paul Gross (of "Due South"), Leslie Nielson, and Molly Parker. Unfortunately, instead of being a fun, romantic comedy, this film is a disgrace to Canadians. I had never walked out of a film before "Men With Brooms" came along. Oh God, the dialogue was SO terrible ("Let's finish that conversation we were having before." "But we didn't say anything..." "Look in my eyes and say that.") Nielson's comic talents are wasted, and Parker and Gross give horrible performances. I'm from Canada, and I know that people here don't worship curling as much as they seem to in this film, in fact, we don't even like curling that much at all. This is a very, very, very bad film and I advise you NOT to see it. Grade - 0.5/10 (the 0.5 is for one semi-entertaining scene with Leslie Nielson)
