Corner Gas: The Movie

I can't understand why this has got an average review of 6.8. I really liked it. I have only just found this gem of a program on amazon prime (i'm english, never heard of it until i got prime), and i watched all the series and i thought it was great and then i saw that they had done a movie too and i have just watched it and thought it great. Just witty and nice and no violence or sex (which we don't always want in a movie). It was nice and fun, a great movie which i could easily watch again.

A few weeks ago, "Corner Gas" finally came to the States thanks to Amazon Prime. I blew through all six seasons amazingly fast and was anxious for more...so I watched the movie only minutes after seeing the final episode.

This show begins with what appears to be an apocalypse in Dog River, as a reporter and Hank enter town to see utter chaos and horrors everywhere. The story then jumps back in time and you learn what led to things becoming so god-awful. It seems that the town is totally bankrupt....power has been shut off and folks are considering moving. What are Brent and the others to do?!

While this is a good film and does end happily, it also is pretty depressing and serious...far more than the TV show ever was. Because of that, the formula is a bit odd...but still, I did enjoy it and think it's worth seeing. Just remember that it is a bit depressing...but it will turn out okay...trust me on this!

.....that it's funny. I don't know why I waited this long before watching it. A nice flashback.

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! 1e3

If you loved the show, you'll love the movie!

This movie is something that I cannot hate because I love Corner Gas. The movie is overall quite fun y and will make you want to rematch the TV series. Corner Gas will go down as one of the greatest Canadian TV shows of all time and this movie is something that I think reflects that.
