The theater was packed when I went to go see the movie last Friday night!. |
10 years ago a Canadian TV show called Corner Gas ended its last season. No one knew if the show was going to return ever again but their faithful fan's never stopped believing that the cast would return. During the summer the shows creator Brent Butt released information about the possible return of the cast but not in a show form but in a movie format.The movie was going to be hopefully created by a kickstarter campaign. Many fans of the popular TV show including my English teacher was one of the backers!. Later on it was announced that the movie will be made!.
Last Friday night I went and saw the Corner Gas Movie. Basically the movie is about Dog River and the fact that they are flat broke thanks to Fitzy. When the residences of Dog River find out that they are flat broke they forge a plan to raise money and remake Dog River and keep it thriving. But as usual the cast gets into some funny situations especially Oscar and Karen. Throughout the movie I was laughing but at one point probably because of something one of the characters said or did i ended up laughing so hard that I ended up stomping my foot on the ground ( I think that is a great sign that a movie is good and very funny if someone ends up stomping their foot on the ground due to laughter).
While watching the movie I couldn't but help and think of the TV show. All the actors were able to channel who they used to play on the show perfectly especially Oscar (Eric Petersen). Oscar has always been my favourite not just because he always says a certain word but because his character has such a cute and funny personality. When ever Oscar has a scene and he laughs I cannot help but burst into giggles because I find his laugh so cute!. There were so many parts in the movie which I loved but my favourite part was the ending where Brent and Lacey kiss. When that happened I was in shock! because when the show was on I would always wish they would get together at one point or at least admit their feelings for each other!. I guess I shipped them even before the word shipped was used to describe two people who I would think should get together.
In my last blog post I talked about how this show did not have a fandom name but that has changed since watching the movie that has changed because the creator Brent Butt basically made two possible fandom names for the show. The names would be Gas Guzzlers or Corner Junkies. I think Gas Guzzlers sounds a lot cooler than Corner Junkies.
In conclusion this movie was worth seeing because we finally got to see the cast again as well as the funny things that happen to them as well as the moment where Bracy ( Brent and Lacey ) finally kiss even if it was not for the first time as well as Emma's reaction it was amazing because in that moment she described a shipper's reaction to when their ship finally gets together!. If you missed out on seeing the movie in theatres be sure to check out CTV on December 17th 2014 because they will be showing the movie then but I do not know what time!.
