Men with Brooms (2002)
Too American
Being a fan of Paul Gross' for 8 years, I was very disappointed with this film. Maybe he tried to do too much by writing it with John Krizanc, acting in it, and directing it, and getting the beers for the cast. The film has such obvious "funny" bits in it - no subtlety at all like Due South had. In fact, there were moments were a placard could have been held up "laugh here". It all ended so neatly too? Cutter got the right woman, won the golden broom, admitted to a burn, and was reunited with his father. The couple got pregnant, the funeral director got rid of his nagging wife, and the astronaut went into space. Only Lennox seemed human :) There was no depth to the characters, so I didn't care about them. The foul language and lavatorial humour did nothing to enhance the basis for a good film. I give it 3 out of 10 for trying, and live in hope of better things to come.
