First of all, let me start by saying it's great to see Danny Glover on the screen again.

And that's about it for this movie. Mos Def plays a mentally retarded boy. Not that he's trying to do so, it's just that he really pulls it of. Jack Black is kinda ok.
The movie has it's fun parts and some of them are really well thought of, but it's not the movie I was expecting when I went in to it.
A really nice detail is the way the movie is distorted when Jack Black enters the picture, and that's really all there is...

6.5/10

Be Kind Rewind was exactly what I was expecting! I loved it! I loved the actors, I loved the story the setting the humour! It made me cry and scream of laughing...

There was one thing that was a bit annoying though, the movie can be slow at some parts

Could be that I'm just really weird, but I think this is a must see!

Not bad but I was also quite despointed Neutral

Some things are not too bad, but overally I expected much better
And the acting sometimes is too fake

Really liked the concept of the "sweding movies" but for a Michel Gondry movie it missed the "magic" so I was kinda dissapointed, but if you ignore the fact that Gondry was dissapointing I still kinda liked it, especially the whole Fats Waller story... don't know why but I got pretty fascinated by the guy Smile

7/10

That's exactly why I really liked the movie! Now you wanna know who Fats was! And off course I love Jack Black...
