While Mos Def is minding Danny Glover's video store, Jack Black accidentally gets his head magnetized and wipes all the videos in the store. Fearful of letting Glover down they decide ro remake a film for one of their customers, which leads to filming another and suddenly their films are more popular thanthe originals.
Michael Gondry’s films in the past have been something to treasure. Offbeat, they refreshingly walk an original path through today’s mainstream mire of movie monotony that seems to pervade the cinemas from across the ocean. Both ‘The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind’ and ‘The Science Of Sleep’ were off-kilter pleasures that entranced long after viewing had stopped. On the face of it Be Kind Rewind looked like it was going to be similar but somewhere along the line it became one of the movies it poked fun at. That’s not to say it’s bad, far from it - it is a most enjoyable movie, it’s just that it lacks the preternatural enchantment that the aforementioned films had.
