I love a multi-faceted delieriously happy ending, especially when I get to watch Paul Gross--and even hear him SING! Plus , this was like a primer on curling, such a heretofore strange sport to me. Leslie Nielsen was so wonderful.

I have been a fan of Paul Gross for some time. The disappointing TV series "Eastwick' failed to fully utilize this amazingly talented director. But liek that amazing "Slings and Arrows",this film allows him to shine. It starts slow, especially for those unfamiliar with curling. But it finishes strong and is a heartwarming and exciting film. I highly recommend it.
