Men with Brooms is a 2002 Canadian romantic comedy film, starring and directed by Paul Gross.

Members of the Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip make a cameo appearance in the film as a competing rink representing Kingston, Ontario, the band's home city. Winnipeg curler and three-time Brier champion Jeff Stoughton also made a cameo appearance throwing his trademark "spin-o-rama" shot.

Synopsis

Rien ne sera plus jamais pareil dans la petite ville de Long Bay, en Ontario, depuis que Paul Gross a disparu il y a dix ans. Une fois l'étoile de Curling parti, sa chance de gagner le Balai D'or et celle de connaître l'amour s'évanouissent aussi; il abandonne sa belle fiancée Michelle Nolden devant l'autel et coule les rêves de gloire de ses trois coéquipiers en les laissant en plan derrière lui. Mais quand l'ancien entraîneur de Cutter meurt d'une crise cardiaque, celui-ci revient dans la ville pour les obsèques de son ami et devient tout nostalgique en pensant à sa ville et aux amis laissés derrière.
