An ode to the amateur, Be Kind Rewind, is a joyous treat for those who love to watch creativity in action.

Jack Black, as a nutty neighborhood character and Mos Def, as an employee at a down-at-its heels neighborhood video store, have to make their own versions of movies after all their VHS tapes are demagnetized.

The film gets wild and fun when we see the two of them (plus Melonie Diaz who joins in for the fun) as they remake these films in a completely ingenuous and kooky ways.

Pizza pies become bloody special effects, xeroxes become old cars, aluminum foil works wonders in a multitude of ways.

In many hilarious scenes, the team recreates Ghostbusters, Rush Hour 2, Driving Miss Daisy, When We Were Kings and more.

We loved it.

Cool (blog) celebrity sighting: After the show, we ran into Joe Holmes of Joe’s NYC with his family in the lobby of the Pavilion. They stayed to the very end of the Be Kind Rewind credits. Big cinema buffs that they are, they loved the film.
