This hilarious mockumentary follows the rise and fall of imaginary country star Guy Terrifico (Matt Murphy). The genre's biggest names, from Kris Kristofferson to Merle Haggard, reminisce about the singer's too-short life. Though Terrifico sang country, he lived a rock-and-roll life filled with excess until his death in the 1970s. But as everyone is singing his praises decades later, a new album from Terrifico appears, and people begin to wonder if he's really dead. [More]

3/5

A feel-good homage to the people taking part in it, a framework for various country-rock outlaws, miscreants and rascals.

Real-life references abound and it's a whole heck of a lot of fun hearing them because they're probably true.

The Life and Hard Times of Guy Terrifico is basically a one-note wonder.

Michael Mabbott's first feature boasts some inspired comedy and very fine tunes.

Canada has no real star system, so it's a hoot in more ways that one to watch Michael Mabbott's ace mockumentary about a fabled country-rocker who transcends time and a possibly faked death to become a true Canuck immortal.
