Be Kind Rewind

Today I went to see Be Kind Rewind (see poster below). Jerry (Jack Black) becomes magnetised accidentally and so visits his friend Mike (Mos Def) who is looking after "Be Kind Rewind" a declining video rental store and subsequently erases all of the VHS tapes. When customers arrive to rent the movies the only option left is to re-make them starring themselves using an old VHS camcorder and cheap special effects.
Initially this premise sounds a bit odd and wacky but it is an original story line with a serious side. I think this is the only film I've been to see at the pictures when I've laughed out loud as it really is that funny. And it wasn't just Sam and I, it had the whole audience going, something which I've never seen. If you like Jack Black you'll love this film. If you like some silly comedy you'll also enjoy it. My recommendation, well worth a look!
