First things first, it was either a Dtoid user,4chan viewer or ytmnd viewer. Cause I heard the dude say Epic Fail "lololololol" like 3 times in the trailers, he made the "fapfapfap" noise and he seemed like a gamer.It was at Silvercity in Brampton Ontario on Friday.
Now that, that is off my chest, Be Kind Rewind was a decent film. It helps if you know the movies, I didn't want to bring like 3 of my friends cause they are movie noobs. (Actual Quote:"Wait, wait. So their's Alien VS Predator and their's also SEPARATE movies of Alien and Predator?") This is a Jack Black film, but it almost doesn't feel like one near the end. It starts out telling the story of man names "Fats" who lived in the movie store and he was supposedly a popular jazz musician.
The store owner tells Mos Def to keep Jack (Forgot the character's names) out of the store, but when Jack goes to sabotage a power plant cause he thinks it's bad for the community he gets magnetized and erases all the tapes. They try to remake all the tapes but they end up being cheesy and poorly filmed but the town loves them.
What bugged me in the movie is how they don't finish stuff. Jack never really tried sabotaging the plant again, him being magnetized stopped randomly and SPOILER:
near the end they needed $60,000,they couldn't raise it so the owner was going to tear the place down, after they show their final film it just ends, they never showed it get torn down or possibly them moving to their next store or w/e.
It's good for a few laughs, a nice Saturday night movie, if your a big movie buff and you can tolerate Jack Black, I'd recommend it.
I give Be Kind Rewind...
A 4...out of 5
Holy shit.. there's a Lost Odysey commercial on, and they're playing some kind of 60's music. Cool.
I was actually looking into seeing this movie, thanks for an honest review.

that would be White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane
Yeah it's stolen from a Nick skit but Tenacious D was really good. I guess Im a sucker for Jack Black movies.
It gets increasingly sentimental as it goes on, and the laughs aren't coming as quickly. After a while, it feels less like a "how funny a movie can I make" to... I dunno, something else. "How ridiculously can I stage a 5 second scene?"
