The story is really about a tribute to legendary musician Fats Waller than about a couple of video store dudes re-making low-budget versions of famous movies (which only comprises about 20 minutes of the film).
Good film but I was a little disappointed as I'd hoped for a little more. This movie is really 3 films in one, it?s also got a very clichéd underline story that we've all seen before. The remakes are the best bits. It?s a film about doing remakes that feels like a remake with a b...( read more)
I had sky-high hopes for Be Kind Rewind after seeing its trailer. It looked just like the kind of quirky, offbeat kind of movie that can be a lot of fun to watch. Unfortunately, the actual film didn't live up to the previews.
The movie was quirky, but it was so forced that it wa...( read more)
Strange film this, most probably will become a cult. The plot is straight forward but kinda odd and really daft, not much talent on offer with the cast apart from Black, Def is one of the worst actors around and virtually unable to understand when talking. The whole thing is disa...( read more)
LOL! I saw it in the movies, didn't think it was that great. Now that I own it on DVD it's one of my favs. I love Mos Def.
it looks well ace with Black's impersonations of old time favourite classics.
awesome.
Decepcionante. MIchel Gondry es un genio, tiene una mente que visualiza cosas que me sorprenden siempre, la premisa de esta película sonaba muy interesante, los cortos que vi eran divertidos Tenía un elenco bueno... Es una comedia demasiado tonta como para hacer reír más allá de ...( read more)
Takes a clever concept and cobbles a weak story around it. full review
It's inviting, undemanding and altogether wonderful. You'll want to see it again, or at least Swede it yourself. full review
A feel-good film with a gentle comic spirit, a sweet affection for its gallery of silly characters and a sincere love for the process of moviemaking. full review
I felt positive and genial while watching it, but I didn't break out in paroxysms of laughter. It's the kind of amusing film you can wait to see on DVD. I wonder if it will come out on VHS? full review
Gondry, as writer and director, can't stop the creative helium from leaking out of his cinematic balloon. full review
Be Kind Rewind explores the meaning of originality, but it's also a fable about art and social change. full review
Most of Be Kind Rewind feels as silly and undisciplined as the mini-movies cooked up by its hapless heroes. full review
Gondry might think he's parodying dumb comedies in which poor people rally to save beloved institutions from foreclosure -- but too often Be Kind Rewind just resembles them. full review
Michel Gondry has taken a stunning leap forward with Be Kind Rewind. It's his most successful film. full review
When i saw the trailer for the movie, i thought wow this cud really be a great hit!
As i watched the movie it had quite a boring start, the real good stuff doesnt happen til they have to remake the movies, which was funny lol
thought the ending wasnt bad
