Jack Black and Mos Def star in this
entertaining DVD entitled "Be Kind Rewind" which revolves around a
bumbling fool called Jerry who is played by the delightful and
entertaining Jack Black. Our hero Jerry unfortunately works in a
junkyard and he believes that the nearby power plant is causing him
headaches.
In his infinite wisdom, Jerry decides to sabotage the power plant and
as a result, his brain becomes magnetized causing a ripple effect at
his best friend's video store that causes all his movies to be
wiped.
With all the videos gone, Jerry comes up with the idea of
recreating these films and the two of them create some hilarious
renditions of movies such as "The Lion King", "Ghost Busters" and
"Driving Miss Daisy".
This then causes repercussions through the local community who
simply adore these remakes, however the authorities are soon
informed and Be Kind Rewind soon becomes an almost comedic cat and
mouse experience.
Although the premise may sound a little far fetched, the end result
is quite entertaining as the pair truly make some dodgy movie
renditions and the relationship between Black and Def is brilliant
as they bounce off each other quite well.
Director Michel Gondry does a great job of making this average film
quite entertaining and it even features some strong performances by
Danny Glover and Mia Farrow which assists in the comedy of the movie
through their seriousness. Definitely one for those enjoy a comedy
without too much thinking... just enjoy the ride and remember, "Be
Kind Rewind!"
