Be Kind Rewind (1)

Oh my god, I thought that this going to be a light comedy but instead it is idiotic rubbish - I can see better home made stuff on youtube! 1 - I almost gave up watching it.

One of the idiots becomes magnetised (how?!) while attempting to sabotage a substation, but he then demagnetises all the videos in his friend's video store. His friend was only looking after the store while the boss is away, who they don't want to get into trouble with. So they start filming themselves and remaking each of the movies that customers request. They make Ghost Busters, Rush Hour2... and that was as far as I could bare it for the moment.

Luckily, a young woman joins the team who has some sense and surprisingly the films are popular, the customers want more and more. But I didn't want any more; I gave up.

I guess this was born from the youtube genre of re-enacting films with home made effects and props and usually, funny acting. Except it was entirely missing any entertainment, or cuteness, or even just plain fun that I have seen on some of the youtube "sweded". It was typical Jack Black junk and if I had known he was in it, I would never have even started watching it - I can't think of a single film or character, or even line from him that I even remotely liked. The plot is beyond silly, it is just plain dumb, the acting doesn't even get up to primary school play level but the worst of it is that it has Jack Black in it! Be kind, don't watch this film, and if you can, erase this film from any archives.
