Title: Be Kind Rewind
Review: `Be Kind Rewind' is a film that looked great in the trailers and then failed to live up to it's promise. Following a VHS video rental shop that has all it's stock wiped and then re-records the films in their own unique style, this film was set up for plenty of laughs that didn't deliver. Jack Black was pretty nondescript this time around and from funny turns in films like `School of Rock' it was a disappointment to see him tread water and under perform here. The ending fizzled out and left you with no feel good feeling or indeed any strong feeling either way. I don't mind a Hollywood cop out, cheesy, happy ending in the right context and genre, but this film didn't even deliver that! This is a comedy film with few laughs and is one you could quite easily miss without worrying about it. Only a film for huge fans of Jack Black.Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.
