Be Kind Rewind - 7/10
Directed by Michel Gondry
Cast - Jack Black,Mos Def,Mia Farrow,Danny Glover
Plot Summary
A small VHS only video store faces foreclosure in a poor community. While watching the store for the owner, a blundering employee's friend accidentally erases all of the tapes. In order to keep their blunder from becoming apparent, the duo of Mos Def and Jack Black begin remaking the films themselves using homemade special effects and outdated filming techniques.
Review
This is not as great as "Eternal sunshine on a spotless mind" but it's good enough. It's a feel good movie with some nostaliga in it especially for those who were in the VHS era. There were many scenes where I was laughing my ass off. The way the movie was done was brilliant, great cameraworks and great script . The cast was was not bad as well in my opinion. The first half hour of BKR was pretty boring, but it starts picking up and becomes hilarious. Even though the ending was nice, I felt that something was missing. I guess the direction towards the way BKR ended was not really smooth.

But overall, I would still watch this movie on a weekend cause its Michel Gondry and it is Nostalgic.
