when I first watched, I got a little disappointed with it. but to be fair, everytime it plays on Tv I have to sit and watch, and it's great in that aspect. just became a fan.
Besides be funny, this film shows the love for make films, what I think is really nice to see when you loves the art of cinema in general, it show that everybody can make a film if you really love cinema. I personally like movies about the love for cinema.
I really enjoy this movie. Jack Black is usually a boring loser but in this one him and Mos Def are a perfect duo. I also love the "spectators contribue to movies" aspect so that you can really appreciate the underlined meaning or, in my case, just appreciate the good quality humor and recover peacefully from a mindkilling hangover.
A film that does not seem, at first, to take itself seriously. After that, the thought comes through and it leaves new ones with the viewer. Great film (and cute on a hardcore level).
Watching Be Kind Rewind makes me realize that, um... well, Michel Gondry, I may not like your Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but your comedies--like this one and like The Green Hornet--I like 'em!
Gondry's films always require a strong imagination, but no matter how hard I try I simply cannot envision a world wherein I could enjoy watching Jack Black. At least Jean-Michel Bernard's score is pretty good.
This could've been good. It could've been really good. Sadly, Gondry is not a very good writer.
A fun and chaotic paean to the joy of D.I.Y. culture and forsaking mersh culture. Punk fucking rock.
I honestly did not like this movie. I was under the impression that it was going to be about what it was advertised as. Granted, the Fats Waller story was rather wistful and nostalgic as most say it is. But the fact of the matter is, is that what turned me off from this film so much is that it shifted gears in terms of story so quickly and abruptly, I just ended up disliking it.
I guess watching Eternal Sunshine will raise your expectations. Oh, well.
