Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
jjboll-86612 Being a Western Canadian, I've watched every episode of Corner Gas: The most real small rural community sit-com ever made. The movie being the dream-child of Brent, was done a little late, but still on time. I'm not sure, but I believe this was Janet Wright's last film appearance, and is in a way is a great way to honour her legacy. The movie itself was a real tribute to the show, even in the first 2 minuets when Wanda finally fights a werewolf, something that had been spoken of for years, came true! Seeing everyone going about their day-to-day lives again really reminded me of my childhood.
Python Hyena Corner Gas: The Movie (2014): Dir: David Storey / Cast: Brent Butt, Gabrielle Miller, Fred Ewanuick, Nancy Robertson, Eric Peterson: Grand Canadian comedy at its best. It regards small town local lifestyles in Dog River Saskatchewan that is threatened to be taken over or eliminated if they cannot raise money to fix their little town up. Brent Butt runs the local gas station called "Corner Gas." Gabrielle Miller plays Lacey whom his mother is attempting to hook him up with so that she may eventually have grandchildren. Lacey is seen as bossy but her heart is right when taking charge to put Dog River on the right track, beginning with her little diner. Fred Ewanuick plays a grease monkey mechanic type scouring for ideas that mostly get ignored. Nancy Robertson plays Wanda who works at Corner Gas but also has a side job housesitting for retired officer Davis. His man cave is turned into a gambling casino bar by high spirited Wanda. Lorne Cardinal is hilarious as Davis who becomes a noirish detective in the most buffoonish stereotypical fashion possible. Tara Spencer-Nairn plays pregnant cop Karen whose ever ticketing habit makes her unpopular. Finally we have the ever stubborn Oscar, stealing laugh by Eric Peterson. Oscar is Brent's father whose old fashion methods of living off the land are seen as backward. This is actually very well written with surprisingly clean humour that celebrates the average citizen of small towns. It regards those places where everybody knows everyone else as well as everyone's business. That makes the Corner Gas big on opportunity when warped minds collide. Score: 10 / 10
yakcalvin I had not thought of Corner Gas for years. I just stumbled upon it on Primewire and couldn't believe my luck!I watched the series and fell in love with the character then, and even though I hadn't thought of the show in a very long time, I found myself instantly recalling the names of the characters as they showed up in the movie. If you've loved the series then this will be a treat for you as it was for me. I found the town on Google Maps and the grain silo is even still painted 'Dog River'. https://www.google.com/maps/@50.1909734,-104.9050114,998m/data=!3m1! 1e3If you loved the show, you'll love the movie!
shuggashugga we are testing this on an American friend of ours who has not seen the show this weekend. unleash dog river ! the first time my mother and I saw it was great. then when I thought of it, it was more of an event - like boyhood, but not as long and well you know what I mean. there's a juxtaposition between the two. okay well onward. that small town story is all you need to do well here. complete with a well-meaning mayor and a good dose of wullertonites (pfff!). (it's a thing). and parodies of retirement, casinos, cheesy entertainment, cluelessness, helicopter parenting, doomsday preppers, community hi-jackers, corporate scumbags, well meaning Canadian donut franchises...I can't spoil this for you. I stop now.
