Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Blistering performances.

I must say, this is one of the all-time worst sitcoms that I have ever viewed. It ranks right up there with Curb Your Enthusiasm as first rate letdowns. I went into this show really wanting to like it, but it gave me no reason whatsoever to become an avid viewer of the show. I gave it a two episode trial and didn't laugh at a single "joke" that was presented in this lifeless, flat sitcom. This show gives "dry-humor" a whole new meaning.Having sat through the two episodes at my brother's house, since I can't bring myself to pay for USA's Monk - the only watchable show on television today - I can breath easy, knowing that I am not missing anything worthwhile on the tube. Brent Butt, who seems to be lauded as a Canadian Jerry Seinfled, is the most colorless, lifeless lead I've ever seen in a sitcom. The writing for this show is clearly done by people lacking even a working knowledge of the word "funny." The similarities to Seinfeld end with the basis of the plot - both shows being about nothing. Where Seinfeld was witty and had spontaneous jokes, Corner Gas builds up their jokes at such an excessive degree that you see them coming, ruining their value. A joke with an obvious punchline is dead-on-arrival, folks - just like this show.

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.

With all the hype around this show and its being heralded as a great Canadian sitcom, I have tried to like this show. Oh, have I tried. But I just can't. Am I missing something? The acting is not good, the jokes are bad, the humour is dumb. I actually amuse myself by playing the "3 joke game" when I happen to flip across Corner Gas. The "3 joke game" involves enduring the show for 3 jokes, and seeing if I find any one of them remotely funny. I never have. I just find the whole thing unbearably dumb. There is nothing smart or edgy about it - it basically goes for silly, safe, cheesy humour. Maybe that's why it has such broad appeal.

I personally am very happy that I can find a show that my kids can watch and not have to worry about swearing or shooting or people trying to kill the rest of the world. My young kids can watch this show with us, and their grandparents and I don't have to worry about content. How many other shows can you say that about, including cartoons?? Not many in this day and age. But for us parents who would rather pay attention to what our children watch is not a negative influence, this is great.I realize that some people prefer swearing and violence to clean shows, but thank goodness there are smart writers and producers who are willing to take a chance on good old fashioned comedy.Thanks Brent Butt and the rest of the gang. Keep them coming.
