MPAA RATING: R for sexual content, nudity and some language
Starring Saffron Burrows, Isaach De Bankolé, and Paz De La Huerta
One morning Mel, a mousy, harried New Yorker with a thankless job and an even-less-appealing boyfriend learns that the tumor in her throat is cancerous and the diagnosis is terminal. She then hears that both her job and her relationship are coming to an end. Rather than wallowing in self-pity, she embarks on an endless spending spree, the kind of self-indulgent wish fulfillment that we have all fantasized about. The Guitar is inspired by a true story. Overflowing with an energy and vitality that belies the initial darkness of its narrative, The Guitar is a transcendent respite from the turmoil of our troubled times. (Lightning Media)

This wasn't that bad of a movie. The character discovers herself through her cancer, that's cool I guess.
Jay H. gave it a4:
Painfully slow movie, a real sleep inducer. At times it is really stupid. I was not impressed with anything about the film really. The score is monotonous, the performances bland.
