Reviews

Too bad they have the wrong video with this movie. You'd think they'd fix it.

I don't usually bother writing reviews, but I HAD TO! I can't understand why a show of this caliber been cancelled, and in fact FIRMLY BELIEVE it should have at least 6 seasons. It's quirky, fun, funny, confusing, original AND NEEDS MORE SEASONS, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T LEAVE US IN THE LURCH!! Perfectly cast, perfectly timed, perfect music, just plain perfect. Why do crappy shows continue to mar our viewing 'pleasure' yet shows like this are tossed? If BBC America dumped it, surely someone smart will pick it up!! We love this show and will not let you take it from us!

First let me say that I'm excited about the movie coming out soon! I learned about Corner Gas when I saw it at the library and read what it was about, and am I ever glad I found it. Living in the US, it's difficult if not impossible to find shows that are actually funny. The "humor" in this country seems to fall into the sexual genre or things I couldn't care less about. The last funny show this country had was Seinfeld and that's just plain sad. So...f you have a sense of humor and know what's REALLY funny, then this show is for you. I love the subliminal sarcasm as well as the in your face type it has to offer. I love that insults get tossed around helter skeleter vs holding it in or doing it under one's breath. How the occupants of the town always get into a predicament and always get out of said predicaments in the most circuitous ways is enough to make one laugh aloud. Tons of trickery and tomfoolery going around. If this isn't your thing, then you don't know what real humor is all about. If you're looking for the Modern Family or the Family Guy type of non-humor, well keep moving.

This movie had it all. There was great acting by Laurence Fishburne and Kevin Zegers, sorry to say mediocre from Bill Paxton. I liked that after the slow beginning, the movie quickly went into high adrenaline-mode with tons of action and chase scenes. Even horror aficionados should enjoy this movie. Honestly, this was one of the very few movies I've watched recently on DVD or even at the movies that I can say I'd watch again!

You know how previews usually show you all the best parts of a movie, well not in this case. The plot-line was well thought out, there was vivid imagery as well. The scenery was done very well, with views of how humanity had existed prior. The place these last dregs of humanity resided in is an actual place, so background work did go into it.

Right from the start of the show, I had a feeling I was going to dislike it and I was right. Perhaps it's the twang or the people I immediately want to go away who are in it, or maybe the plot-lines are just too ridiculous. I mean, nobody is that intuitive or smart. Can you say this series is biased loud enough? The acting left much to be desired, the conversations ran from bland to moronic and unrealistic.

I didn't see any really believable character interactions. In fact, sometimes they seemed to be bored with each other. I thought it was funny how some woman committed a major crime but she was still walking around loose and frankly doing anything she wanted and I mean ANYTHING. I gave it four episodes worth to get better, but it dragged on and on. They never seemed to let up on how everybody else is stupid but the main character is so overblown smart, so overblown wonderful. If they had been smart, they'd have given him an actual personality, given him scars, which he seemed to lack, at least in the first four episodes. I can't believe there are so many stellar reviews of this bland show.
