AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
miketaylor2007 I only watched because it was a choice between this and Meet The Browns on a Monday morning. Corner Gas is a world where cops never see any action and a few people stand around in a gas bar and talk. It is a combination of standing and sitting with each character. The cops job is to stand around and talk, park the car, talk some more, and go to the diner to eat and chat. They will never have to worry about showing up to the scene of a crime because in this world the only people that exist are the cops and the people who work at the gas bar. The gas bar also never has any customers because I guess nobody wanted to appear as an extra in the series. I can promise you that if you sit down for an episode it will be the most bland half hour of your life. Thirty minutes felt like three years when watching this. I am not sure if the creators intentions were to make it this bland or not. Watching it felt like a day at work where the place is dead and you have no customers, so you stand around and talk for an 8 hour shift. Isn't that boring? Don't you wish you could see something happen? Well you won't see anything happen when watching Corner Gas. As for the comedy aspect of things... the annoying blonde character is full of one liners that sound like they were written up by a fourth grader. It is like watching Leno where he tells a really bad joke and the drummer hits you with a drum roll but nobody laughs it is just dead silence. I cannot even express how bad Corner Gas is. If you ever have the guts try and tune in. I just want to thank the creators of this show for inspiring me to only stick to watching my DVD collection. For those who can't afford a cable subscription I advise you to just leave the television off. Or go outside and watch some grass grow.. you are bound to see more action doing that.
crossbow0106 Stand up comic Brent Butt plays Brent Leroy, an owner of a gas station in Dog River, Saskatchewan, a small town in which the residents are slightly off center but still so real they become your friends over the life of the series. This is a comedy without a laugh track but you don't need one. The acting is top drawer, everyone is great in their roles. Outside of Canada, the actors are not well known. Eric Peterson, who plays Brent's cantankerous father Oscar, was in a lawyer drama called "Street Legal" in the 80's, playing Leon. That ran on American TV for a while. Tara Spencer-Nairn was in a great indie film called "New Waterford Girl" before this, but the rest of the actors are solid Canadian actors with much to admire about their careers before this show. This is small town life, with the characters so well defined, you'll fall right into their quirks, moods and world (particularly small world) views. All six seasons are available on DVD and are highly recommended. Enjoy!
sarajw13 I love living in the Pacific Northwest because it grants me access to a lot of Canadian music and television that the rest of the states have not.This show is silly, a bit cheesy, but altogether very funny and entertaining. The characters are all very developed and relatable, especially to someone like me, from a small town. The shenanigans always gets a laugh out of me, and Hank's stupidity is just enough to be funny without being over the top.This is a great show to just sit and watch with family and have a laugh or two.
ninja_superstar-1 Corner Gas is one of the worst sitcoms I've ever seen. It's simply not funny. All of the characters wait for their turns to speak only to make some lame pun or unfunny, witty remark. The actors have very bad comic timing, mostly due to the poor writing.To make a show about nothing funny, you really need a strong cast, individualized characters, and good writing. Corner Gas has none of these.And what's with the yellow-red camera lens? The show looks like it's been heavily filtered, which makes light play weirdly and things look unreal. This effect is distracting and unnecessary.Corner Gas would be much better if the actors would improvise more often a la The Office. Forget about plot lines and trying to get a complete story across. Just be funny from the beginning of the show until the end. That's all people want from sitcoms.
