70/100  "This isn't exactly profound cinema, but it's good-natured and sometimes quite funny."
-- Brian Webster, APOLLO GUIDE

2/5  "Curling may be a unique sport but Men with Brooms is distinctly ordinary."
-- Shlomo Schwartzberg, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE

3/5  "Not completely loveable -- but what underdog movie since The Bad News Bears has been? -- but certainly hard to hate."
-- Christopher Null, FILMCRITIC.COM

2.5/5  "A perplexing example of promise unfulfilled, despite many charming moments."
-- Bruce Kirkland, JAM! MOVIES

3/5  "The plot of the comeback curlers isn't very interesting actually, but what I like about Men With Brooms and what is kind of special is how the film knows what's unique and quirky about Canadians."
-- David Grove, FILM THREAT

2.5/4  "Scores a few points for doing what it does with a dedicated and good-hearted professionalism."
-- Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL

2/5  "While much of the cast has charm -- especially Allodi and Nolden -- the performers are sunk by the film's primitive approach to the mechanics of comedy."
-- Jason Anderson, EYE WEEKLY

Men With Brooms

3/5  "This is a winning ensemble comedy that shows Canadians can put gentle laughs and equally gentle sentiments on the button, just as easily as their counterparts anywhere else in the world."
-- Louis B. Hobson, JAM! MOVIES

2/4  "There’s a delightfully quirky movie to be made from curling, but Brooms isn’t it."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE

B-  "Call this The Full Monty on ice, the underdog sports team formula redux."
-- Sean Axmaker, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER

2/5  No review available.
-- Mark Palermo, COAST (HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA)

2.5/4  "It makes you believe the cast and crew thoroughly enjoyed themselves and believed in their small-budget film."
-- Steven Rosen, DENVER POST

3/5  "Perhaps not since Nelson Eddy crooned his Indian Love Call to Jeanette MacDonald has there been a movie so unabashedly Canadian, not afraid to risk American scorn or disinterest."
-- Peter Howell, TORONTO STAR

If I could be anywhere: "Back in Cuba, sitting Indian style on the Malecon. Mojito in one hand, handsome revolutionary in the other."
