    Be Kind, Rewind

    by wendifriesen

    I had low expectations. But this movie totally blew me away. The entire audience was laughing out loud and at the end many of them were clapping. One of the major reviews says it lacked credibility. Hahaha, well it certainly is not a movie that was made to be plausible or credible. It was a creative, unique and totally bizarre premise that should not have worked, but it did. Crazy as it sounds this movie has a huge heart and soul, is silly fun, uplifting and nutty.
    And then I find an entirely new form of entertainment, which will be a legend in our time... Sweded movies.
    I am still laughing. "I'd like Driving Miss Daisy Sweded please". Toooo Funny.

    Be Kind Rewind is a movie full of fun. Mos Def is put in charge of a VHS rental store and is warned to keep Jerry (Jack Black) out because he wrecks everything he touches. Jerry is almost positive that the powerplant is sending out microwaves that control his brain and after a failed attempt to sabotage the powerplant, Jerry becomes magnetized. He then erases all the VHS tapes and they desperately try to make home movies of all the blockbuster hits. Their skits are hilarious and Jack Black steals the show as his typical energetic and silly self. Overall 3.5 out of 5 stars.

    so boring

    This was the worst Jack Black movie ever.
