Best Comedy Since Juno!

I wasn't sure what to expect when you put Jack Black, Mos Def, Mia Farrow and Danny Glover together, but the results were far better than anything I ever expected.
Be Kind Rewind is a comedy with heart like Juno or Superbad. Unlike the crap studios continue to shove down our throats like Meet The Spartans, Be Kind Rewind offers audiences a heritage that connects the jokes, the characters and the plot.
The acting is superbly minimalistic and at times awkward, which adds to the voice of the people theme. Ten years ago most of us couldn't imagine paying eight dollars to watch a group of nobodies remake popular movies, but today we spend hours watching nobodies on YOU TUBE.
The most memorable scenes captured the essence of what people today crave so desperately, community. Like the characters living in Passiac, New Jersey, most of us at times feel disenfranchised and isolated. We would like the oppurtunity to voice our feelings about the world and our relationship with it. Making these low-budget remakes allows the people of Passiac to express their experiences of these films.
Be Kind Rewind features hilarious takes on Ghostbusters (speaking of, Sigorney Weaver makes a wonderful cameo as lawyer representing the movie studios), The Lion King, Rush Hour II, Men in Black and 2001 a Space Odyssey.
A truly moving and hilarious movie and the best movie I've seen so far this year!
I advise you all to go see it. |
