Be Kind Rewind
Video rental store, Be Kind Rewind, is on the brink of closure. Almost bankrupt, with premises facing demolition, things go from bad to worse when Jack Black shows up and accidently wipes all the tapes in the store. Yikes.
There’s only one way out - re-record all the videos of course! Passing the dodgy homemade recreated vids off as being “from Sweden”, their “sweded” movies become a surprise hit and people are soon flocking from far afield to get the latest releases.
Surely this all amounts to side-splitting comedy and riotous belly laughs…?
Well, no.
Jack Black is as amusing as a Meet The Spartans deleted scene. Well, probably.
The film is imaginative - I’ll give it that. It’s sometimes clever too. It’s just not that funny.
Be Kind Rewind should have been one of the best films of the year, so it’s really quite disappointing that we just got a big old mess with a cheese-ridden sentimental ending. Bah.
4/10.

Pretty accurate review dude, it should have been better!! The funniest parts were the making of the ‘Sweded’ movies - especially Ghostbusters, they should have done more of this!!
However, your review is nothing compared to that rather fetching picture of you….I never knew you had a body like that hidden under your shirt!! You get them beauties out any more & I’ll have to get an exclusive photo shot with ya for my site! ;-)
Seriously dude:- Good work with Photoshop - I hope!!

Why thank you! My moobs push up quite nicely don’t they?
Actually, I’ll have to admit the image is courtesy of the official Be Kind Rewind website - where you can Swede yourself onto a whole load of video covers. Since I just loved Shoot ‘Em Up so much, it just seemed kinda appropriate.
If I did have a pair of beauties like that hidden away, I’d never leave the house.
