The previews of this movie basically summed up all the funny parts this movie had to offer. It is the tale of Mr. Fletcher's "Be Kind, Rewind" VHS video store that is losing out to big business. It serves a small community who has appeared to have almost given up on itself. But after a freak electrical accident, all the video tapes in the store get erased. How can the small store make money without movies? They Make thier own. When doing this, they possibly revive the spirit of the community it is in.
Sounds like a touching story, but overall, just really to choppy to flow well. They have the funny parts mixed in with a really sad backstory which just don't work well together. Plus, the movie re-make thing is funny for a bit, but does get old quickly. The ending is not a surprise, and overall, the need to suspend disbelief is so high that I found it hard to enjoy at times. If you must, turn off your brain and see this in the theaters. Otherwise, wait till rental |
