Movie: Be Kind Rewind
Ok, as you may or may not know, I am a big fan of Jack Black. Not so much his crazy swearing uncomfortable movies, but Orange County, High Fidelity, Saving Silverman and my all time favorite: School of Rock are all worth watching. So, as you may have guessed- I was excited to see this film.
The premise for this movie is as follows: a VHS video rental shop in a forgotten neighborhood is about to go under when a happy accident including Jerry (Jack Black) and extreme magnetism erases all the tapes. So they make their own. And the new movies are brilliant.
It took a minute for the movie to take off, but once it did- it was fantastic. The truth is, I could've really just watched their homemade versions of other movies the whole time and been happy. They are pure genius. Jack Black at his finest.
Some other team members are Mos Def, Danny Glover, Mia Farrow and a surprising new comer Melonie Diaz. I probably wouldn't have put this cast together, but it worked.
One thing I particularly enjoyed about the movie was that there was not really a Hollywood ending. I mean- it was a comedy and everything works out in the end, but not in the way that I was expecting. Go see it. You'll enjoy it.
What it's worth to me:
We saw it in the theater and it was worth the $14.00. I think we will purchase it on DVD when the time is right. Buy some candy, relax and laugh out loud when Jack Black tickles your fancy.
