I was really looking forward to this movie. A lot. But it had almost no laughs, and was very dry chuckles and it went beyond slow. Jack Black was the only highlight, and even he wasn't as good as Tropic Thunder.... Full review

Be Kind Rewind is a really funny movie for a stupid plot. I was really surprised at how many movies they could parady in one movie. Though it was a reminder of how many really great movies exsist and this movie... Full review

I don't understand why people would want to waste money making this kind of CRAP. I so regret listening to the reviews that the movie is funny. It's the worst I've watched in 10 years! A little funny - MAYBE, but... Full review

The movie started well. Then everything just became annoying. I wanted the movie to end as soon as possible. The only reason I continued watching it was because I had hope that this movie would do a sudden "u-turn" just as... Full review

Finally an original movie!! Funny but doesn't try too hard. Go see it. Mos Def is funny without trying as usual and the ideas that they come up with for remakes make you want to make your own movies... Full review

'Be Kind Rewind' obviously pays tribute to the old VHS but it's true storyline pays tribute to jazz musician Fats Waller. The Be Kind Rewind video store draws it's inspiration from the legendary Fats Waller and his story is cleverly woven... Full review

The movie has a wacky charm and many surprisingly clever scenes....Unfortunately a good part of the film revolves around making movies with a VHS camera....make local celebrities out of Mike and Jerry with lines forming out the door for customers to request their favorite flick be "Sweded" (the made up term for re-filming the movies).....This is a very engaging performance....these scenes being faithful to their theme do not exactly shine in HD..... ...

Eternal Sunshine was self indulgent wank and Be Kind Rewind was just embarrassingly try-hard earnest and terribly executed...
Nor have I ever watched a amateur movie on youtube that could compete with even a shitty Hollywood movie.

Firstly he is black and you may call this stereotyping but there are certain assumptions that are attached to any black actor in a funny movie.
If you have to be a foil to Jack Black, you better get your act together.
And Mos Def is worse.

Be Kind, Rewind fails to measure up to expectations.
The motley ensemble's supportive response to the secret in the film proves to be a surprisingly sweet way to bring down the curtain on this well-meaning message movie
