Be Kind Rewind2 of 5 Stars
Released: February 2008
Runtime: 102 minutes
Rated: PG-13 (sexual references)

Sometimes Hollywood does itself such a disservice.  When Be Kind Rewind was first released back in February 2008 it promoted the storyline of how Jack Black and Mos Def re-shoot a bunch of movie blockbusters after they are accidentally erased.  From what you could see before stepping into the theatre this would be the main theme of the movie.  But in true Hollywood fashion, nothing could be further from the truth.

Be Kind Rewind is more about community, tradition and nostalgia then anything to do with re-making (or having been "Sweded" as it is referred to in the movie) an eclectic mix of old Hollywood films such as Ghostbusters, Driving Miss Daisy, 2001: A Space Odyssey and even Rush Hour 2.  In one particular montage, Director Michel Gondry serves up at least a dozen different movie re-makes.

Set in Passaic, New Jersey, Mike (Mos Def) is put in charge of a dying VHS video rental store as Mr Fletcher (Danny Glover) goes off on a trip.  One of the last things Mr Fletcher tries to tell Mike is keep Jerry (Jack Black) out of the store. 

Of course, Mike cannot keep Jerry out, and after Jerry becomes magnetized he ends up erasing all of the rental movies.  Not wanting to let down Mr Fletcher and to keep the business operating Mike and Jerry set-out to remake (or "Swede") the films in the store one-by-one.

These "Sweded" movies become a hit as far away as New York City and soon customers are lined up around the block to rent one of the re-makes.

But I, like the original studio advertising, am doing the movie a disservice here because the re-creation of these movies is only part of the overall story.  The real storyline revolves around the fact that Mr Fletcher's store has been condemned and unless he can come up with $60,000 to make the necessary repairs it will be demolished to make way for a new development.

Once word gets out however about the remakes, the Hollywood machine kicks into action and the store is soon visited by Ms Fletcher (Sigourney Weaver), a lawyer sent by the studios to shut down production of these unauthorized copies.

With production shut-down and the movies destroyed by the Hollywood lawyers, the gang, with assistance from the entire community, takes one more stab at saving Mr Fletcher's store by creating an original movie based on a fictionalized version of jazz musician Fats Waller's life.

It is in making the Fats Waller film that the truth of Be Kind Rewind is finally able to emerge, speaking to the nostalgia of simpler times when a community actually came together for a  greater good.

Definitely see this movie but don't go in with any pre-conceived notions of what it is about; don't believe the Hollywood marketing machine.  Maybe now that it is on DVD and not being misleadingly promoted, Be Kind Rewind will get the audience it deserves.
