Quick Review : Be Kind Rewind (Also, theirs a Dtoider who went to see it at Silvercity Brampton which one of you is it?)
Twisted Imp | 6:47 PM on 02.23.2008 16 comments


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

Wow, I just checked Metacritic and it's around 50, but the user reviews say its good. I'm seeing this in an hour, so I'm glad I checked the cblogs real quick.

Holy shit.. there's a Lost Odysey commercial on, and they're playing some kind of 60's music. Cool.

Goddammit, I’m in motherfucking Manhattan and this movie isn’t playing in any theaters near me. I’m gonna have to go see Charlie Bartlett instead.

This wasn't funny when Amanda Bines did a skit on Nikelodeon on the same premise years ago, and while I'm glad you got your money's worth I'd rather see There Will Be Blood than another run of the mill Jack Black commedy. Proof at the link below.

Sounds like a shitty backstory but a good concept.

I saw the beginning of it. I think it's going to be really funny, I really can't wait to see it.

Thanks for that twister. It was pretty epic.

Yeah it's stolen from a Nick skit but Tenacious D was really good. I guess Im a sucker for Jack Black movies.

I love the bit in the shop when Jerry (JB's character) has the camo on which looks totally crap until you see how it fits in with the enviroment it's supposed to.

Yeah, It's good. Not the best, but good enough. The camo thing blew my mind.

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?"

Whoever that person in the theater was, they should shut the fuck up while the movie is playing. Man I hate people like that.

The Jazz Musician's name was Fats Waller who was supposedly born in that house in Brokklyn:) I saw this movie like 5 months ago:) On DVD in my house I was lucky enough to get a viewing copy (see advance copy) of the unfinished film:) It was really good and unlike The Science of Sleep it was much easier to get into.But it does have the typical Micheal Gondry touch! I would say this film as much more accesable to the public.

I saw it today and really liked it. Now that I think about it it did end kind of suddenly, but it was still worth watching.
