Not even knowing half the extras in this movie was enough to hold my interest

This film was made partially in Rouleau, Sask. This little town is now famous for being the setting of "Corner Gas." I, as well as half of my town were cast as extras in this film. I'm on screen (only me) for a few seconds. However, despite it being the acting debut of everyone I grew up with, it still is NOT an accurate representation of prairie life, nor is it unique.

The Saskatchewan film industry has been growing like crazy, and its time they get it right. "Guitarman" is how everyone outside sees prairie folk: dull and lifeless.

The casting is all completely safe, and upon completion of this film (if you aren't sleeping), you will be hard-pressed to remember anything about anyone. The acting is okay, but everyone is exactly who you expect them to be, and sadly casting is not the only area of the film that is without surprise.

Saskatchewan at its best

This movie is no Oscar nominee...

However... it does represent Saskatchewan and its film industry.

Guitarman is a recent interpretation of the Pide-Piper fairytale with a small farming twist, while this does seem like a child story; the movie still holds some great value.

The move itself has great composition and the cinematography is sensational, it truly captivates a Saskatchewan sunsets like no other... although this movie has a little production value, its plot fails to succeed as well as its acting.

The acting at times appears to be a bit cliché, and incredible slow even when Shawn Ashmore (X-men, as iceman) does increase the production value, the movie still lacks content, feeling, as well as character development.

The plot is where the movie takes a turn for the worst, an over-used, over stimulated story of the Pide-Piper is used. It's cute at times and fairly comprehensive, but at the same time it lacks content and vitality; it fails to entertain the viewer, and its main goal is to get across its moral or lesson.

Overall a great step in the small town Canadian film industry..

5/10 (in comparison to the rest, as for Saskatchewan films, 8/10!) see it if you are from Saskatchewan, or if you want to learn more about it.
