An Endearing Film About the Power of Movies

Be Kind Rewind (2008)
Directed by Michael Gondry, rated PG-13, 102 minutes

Be Kind Rewind is quirky and funny film about two employees at a video store who, after one of them becomes magnetized and destroys all the tapes, must re-film the movies themselves for the store's most loyal customer: An elderly woman with signs of dementia. The biggest thing the film has going for it, are the videos the two of them make, which are very creative and laugh out loud funny. The story is remarkably well done and oddly inspiring, but most importantly, you really care about the characters. Be Kind Rewind is a whimsical film that will remind you why you love movies. You'll like it if: You like quirky comedy, movies about movies Jack Black, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or The Royal Tenenbaums.
