Short version: Jack Black is awesome in this movie that starts out hysterically funny but veers off into sentimentality.
Two things could have made Be Kind Rewind better:
1. If it actually had been made on a shoestring budget by a couple of buddies.
2. If it had stuck with the premise of being a comedy all the way through to the end.
Aside from those points, it was still a great film.
Jack Black stars as Jerry, a uneducated slacker with big dreams who lives in a trailer. He’s pals with Mike (played by Mos Def), a low-key guy without any big aspirations who works at one of the last few VHS video rental stores left in New Jersey.
