We went to see this film with a group of friends and had no expectations of how it would be. This is a good method of watching movies. It is very hard to be disappointed with a movie when you didn't have any idea of what to expect. The protagonists of the show were Jack Black and Mos Def. The film started out a little slow, and it was a little confusing, but it became a rollercoaster ride of humorous situations and heartfelt events. The dialogue was meaningful and realistic which kept the audience interested in between scenes of hilarity. Though a tiny bit slow at times, the movie goes back and forth with this formula for the story. Michael Gondry, the director of Be Kind Rewind, shows the world that cinematography never leaves ones heart. The cinematography was very realistic, which made it seem like you were watching it as it was happening as opposed to the "YOU ARE NOW WATCHING A MOVIE" feeling.
This movie also highlights the importance of communities and film-making. Although there are many funny moments within the movie, there are also emotionally touching scenes. This movie is a perfect film for the family. This also applies to the younger members of your family. While the more conversational parts of the movie may be lost on them, I have yet to find a child who isn't amused by the antics of Jack Black. The group that I was with had a lot to say about the film as well. Daniel Poelhuis thought that it was "overall a good movie, very funny and heartwarming." Laura Deig said that "the idea was really funny, and of course the spoofs were hilarious". Of course no film is perfect, and with that comes criticism. Craig Payton believes that "the acting was good but it wasn't great." In the end, the film is a good choice for anyone to watch on a Sunday afternoon with the family. It's not exactly the film to see with a large amount of friends, but it is definitely worth a watch.
