Title: Not a guitar I'd play twice
Review: I found THE GUITAR to be a somewhat typical plot with a girl dying who decides to spend her remaining days doing what she wants to do the most. Evidently much of what she wants to do was to buy things she wanted especially a guitar and that is where I just couldn't buy into the movie. I guess I am just one of those people who likes a good story, well done, that makes me care about the characters and THE GUITAR just didn't do it for me. I assume many movie critics would go "ga-ga" over this because of its "artistic" imagery but I just found it somewhat painful to get through. Good thing I like Janeane Garofalo as her little part was the only part I enjoyed in the whole production. Saffron Burrows is lovely but a shallow character and actress at least given this story line. Sorry, not a favorite for me!
