Seen it once, seen it a thousand times...., 12 May 2004
Author: IdleFingers (phloppie7@hotmail.com) from Arkansas

This movie had the potential to be interesting and fun by tackling a little known Scottish sport in a Canadian locale. Instead the writer, Paul Gross, chose to take the easy way out and went for every sports cliche in movie history. From the unrequited love (this lucky fellas has two!) to the see-it-coming-from-a-mile-away win you can pretty much predict what each new scene is going to bring. I was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt... up until they threw in the very tired slow-mo silhouette walking with some rock song as it's background. on top of that writer/director's Paul Gross' acting was mediocore at best.

All this being said the movie is watchable simply as the kind of movie where the underdogs win. It could have been better, though...
