  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.

  Sweded...

  by Daydream

  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.

  A trip to Michel Gondry's lovely world

  by KaleeFlower

  Despite Jack Black, which made me hesitant to be too excited about this movie, "Be Kind Rewind" was, to put it simply, amazing.
  
  Out entire theatre could not stop laughing at the wonderful side splitting comedy, and Michel surprised us over and over again with visual and conceptually delightful trickster jokes.
  
  The story is simple, and I see many people wanted more, not seeing or letting themselves be taken away in a story that in its evident simplicity was a very complex story. It was a hilarious and beautiful film. Go see it!
  
  Note: I think people who don't understand a film will usually not say it is bad, for fear of appearing stupid that they don't get it. One genius of "Be Kind" is also its flaw, it makes it look too easy which gives people the brazen idea that it is the movie that is stupid when they can't understand it.

  "Be Kind, Rewind" I s Sweet, Funny and Unbelievable

  by StanTheMovieMan

  While the film is good natured, the premise is somewhat ridiculous and the notion of people actually enjoying the homemade movies is completely outside the realm of possibility. Despite that, I really enjoyed the movie and think it would be a great date movie. Its humor is sweet-natured and Jack Black, while annoying at times, keeps his strangeness mostly in check.

  Excellent

  by meishatlohmann

  This movie is funny at the same time that it gives keen social commentary on the movie industry, urban renewal/gentrification, and race. It takes noticeable joy in the magic that can be created by the medium of film and shows the viewer how insightful that magic can be.

  Be Kind Rewind

  by deznutz

  Mos Def, Jack Black, and Michel Gondry, all 3 are artistic geniuses.
  This was one of those movies so simple in its creativity that I wish I had made it first.
  Go see it.

  SO-SO says it all

  by Arbert63B

  The type of movie you might watch at the dollar theater or the drive-in. Funny at times, hard to swallow story line. Jack Black would be the only reason to like this movie. If you do not like Jack Black you will hate this movie don?t bother.

  JUST NOT FUNNY!!!!

  by beachday

  I have never walked out of a movie in my life but thought this was such a waste of time I could not stand to sit through the entire thing. The acting (except for Jack Black) was stilted - including Danny Glover who should know better. The dialog was just not funny. The movie was just not funny. This looked and felt more like a student film maker's movie than a wide release film. It was like someone had an idea for a few jokes and created a full length feature around them. The ravings about the Ghostbusters scenes were grossly overrated. That may have been the highlight of the movie which is sadder still. Some of the reviews I read were actually quite complimentary - definately not for everyone I guess. What I would recommend seeing instead of this would be .....oh yeah, anything else!

  Loads of Laughs

  by KPJ0806

  Truly funny and enjoyable. Michel Gondry's creative approach to film making continues to amaze me, and his childlike imagination creates a fun, lovable movie!

  by nancym

  I really liked the characters in this movie, I enoyed spending time with them....Even though the situation was extreme, and hilarious, the movie still had a lot of heart to it. I like that.

  Like a party in my skull!

  by blackTshirt

  Be Kind Rewind was a abnormally mint movie filled with awesome good. I will purchase this movie on digital video disk as soon as it is available to the general public. I could go through my entire life with just one testicle, but I'd rather not go through my life without seeing this movie again.
  
  If you see it, and aren't happy with the results, than you are most likely a worthless dry turd and should be flushed post haste.
  
  much love,
  -Dr.Mattastic

  Be Kind Rewind

  by sprinkles098

  This movie was very good. I saw it in a theater of less than 10 people and when the funny parts came it was like there were 100 people in there. You definitely should take time to go to this movie!
