Instead of directing another "Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind", Gondry made this wonderful picture about the way originality stems from the everyday. Nice choice.

Makes me wonder why I don't do more amateur film making. Sweet, charming and funny. At the very least it's very imaginative.

The reconstructions are mildly entertaining - but they are sandwiched by a boring and uninspired plot. Jack Black plays.....Jack Black. again.

Once again Gondry puts his lacklustre screenwriting skills to the test and comes out second best. Sheer charm and whimsy can't alone save a film, as 'Be Kind Rewind' will attest.

I want to love Gondry's feature films, but the ones he writes alone are so indulgently autobiographical. We get it Gondry, you like to make things out of household things. The ending ironically reflects that as (spoiler here) they make a movie without latching on to somebody else's plot and theme with less entertaining results.

On the whole, a likably silly romp. The first quarter starts out very promising indeed, well-written and edited; then it gets a bit too goofy following its central premise. Then, in the last third or so, it starts looking like a 70s TV show, and pours a whole big bucket of sap on you toward the end. But Jack Black is very good throughout. And obviously, it's a pretty hard idea to succeed with; I was watching it mainly just to see how they handled that (or even if they could).

The plot is definitely bad, but the story and characters are just too charming and fun to be considered bad.

A warm movie with great ideas, but the plot is mainly crap and Gondry's directing isn't quite at his prime either.
