Review of: Be Kind Rewind

Let me start off by saying that I'm a big Jack Black fan, sometimes to a fault. Let me also say that I never turn movies off in the middle of a viewing. I didn't necessarily turn this one off but I fast forwarded to the end which is I guess just as bad.

In the movie, Be Kind Rewind is the name of an old school video store in North Jersey somewhere. It might be the last place on earth that actually rents VHS tapes. The plot consists of Jack Black acting ultra Jack Blacky and he somehow manages to erase every tape in the store. Mos Def and Black then proceed to try and re-tape each film with them and only their one or two weirdo friends as the actors. For a split second (blink and you would've missed it) this movie had hope. I actually laughed out loud when the filmed their version of Ghostbusters. However, that was the high point of the movie by far. It really goes no where after that and I really had no interest at all. Danny Glover just looked like he missed Riggs a little too much. He brought nothing to the table. Mos def, who has really grown as an actor just didn't add enough to make this one possible.

Sorry this one is so short, but I really have nothing else to say about this movie. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. Avoid this one.
