Be Kind Rewind
My cinema bought confectionary was more interesting. - strat
Only for the fact I had time to kill I would have left this movie after the first 15 minutes. I am or was a huge Jack Black fan but once again over the past couple of years he picked another turkey. The story is dull, completely lacking of any fun & Jack Black's once such explosive charisma is almost non existant. Children might be more enthusiastic about this film as there is the whole moral issue of "if we all come together and work" we can achieve anything. It's just a boring bland film. Think I might well have been more entertained killing my time in the lobby.

A real disapointment to be honest. Gondry's visual panache is as great as ever, the montage of the films being remade and the effects of Blacks magnetism are handled excellently. The score is also... MORE

Wonderful Movie - rob cumiskey
Gondry continues to amaze me with each movie he makes. "Eternal Sunshine..." was mind blowing, but I actually think BKR at least emulates it, if not even surpasses it. It's a wonderful,... MORE
