With the exception of High Fidelity, every film Jack Black is in ends up being a Jack Black film, which is fine if you like Jack Black, but not so good if like me, you think he's one trick pony with an irritating voice which he clearly loves the sound of way too much. This could have been a very good film with some better casting decisions.

I thought this was one of Jack Black s best...I thought alot of it worked and some of it did not..all in all its a weird little comedy

I wanted to like this, I really did. But it's just.. not.. good.

warning: not a 'wacky comedy' like the previews would have you believe. it's a lame 'save our history' drama.

Pretty cool but a bit rubbishy.

awesome premise for a movie but poorly written. Don't get me wrong jack black and mos def remaking movies is awesome, but the movie falls flat

Misses out on being something more. Its cutseyness wears thin pretty quickly but the reinactments are pretty funny. Pretty good turn from Mos Def and Black isnt completely annoying.

I don't understand the hate, 'Be Kind Rewind' is actually of the most memorable comedies I've seen from the last few years. Sure it could have been much superior, but it was nice seeing Gondry wander into an unexpected direction and it was overall an hilarious, touching film. The ending was also an unexpected tearjerker on Gondry's behalf but it was still carried out pretty well and closed the story nicely.

A schamltzy but inventive celebration of filmmaking as a collaborative pursuit of joy. There's nothing outstanding here, but its mostly enjoyable.
