This is a unique specimen of a film

This is a unique specimen of a film, as it engages directly in the art of remaking classic films that we've grown up on, with a twist. Even more so fitting given the films setting of a mom and pop owned video store. Mos Defs character Mike is excellent as the straight man to Jerry (played by Jack Black) and his more then outrageous stunts and escapades. You can also feel sympathy for the character of Mr. Fletcher (played by Danny Glover) whose trying everything to keep his video rental store and apartment from being demolished. I won't spoil any further plot details or the ending, but the way things are wrapped up are bittersweet, and by the time the credits roll, everything is left in ambiguity. Overall I didn't go into major parts of this film because it just has to be experienced for oneself for full enjoyment. Be Kind Rewind is a funny, touching, and nostalgic trip down the roads of analog film renting, and fan film creation, all in one. Four and a half stars, out of Five.

A Charming tribute to the art..

..of American cinema.A lovely little film that is a celebration of cinema.Yeah so it's a little bit hokey and a reminder that Jack Black is as 2 dimensional as Mickey Mouse, but we sometimes forget the cultural contribution of American film making over the past 120 years.A feel good movie that's not quite Cinema Paradiso, but is rooted in a community which now no longer exists: the video store.
