Be Kind Rewind

Be Kind Rewind: Jack Black and Mos Def star in this most absurd comedy. After Jack Black’s character becomes magnetized, he accidentally erases all of the VHS tapes in his friend’s (Mos Def) video store. When an angry customer requests a copy of Ghostbusters after receiving a blank tape, the duo decide to shoot their own version of the film. The silly and bizarre things they come up with to reenact the film on a camcorder are the funniest moments of the movie. Of course, their small film is a hit and they go on to make several other "sweded" depictions/distortions of many other classic films. The story as a whole did not work for me and in fact at the end I was not even sure what the conclusion was supposed to be. The film does supply some ridiculous “stupid humor” scenes, so dumb they are almost witty – if that makes any sense. However, in the end there is no reason to Rewind, because I am giving it a “Kick it to the Floor”.
