A lot of effort for just adequate payoff. This has some great potential, but it meanders so much that it never explores any one point. It's sweet at points, funny at points, but it never settles into a groove. A nice try that falls short.

A let down

Be Kind Rewind is the type of film which looks like it was fun to make but ends up being just plain boring for the people watching it. Too weird to be taken seriously, but not weird enough to be one of those 'kooky/wacky/zaney' films that end up being cult classics, Be Kind Rewind was somewhat of a disappointment from a good director and a decent cast.

Slow but interesting

The reason I gave this movie only 2.5 stars is that, as other reviewers have mentioned, it has some slow bits that can get a little boring. I don't think the movie would have worked with a faster pace so I understand why some it was left in. The funny parts of this movie are hysterical, but probably only work because of the times when the characters are not being funny. Overall. I think Be Kind Rewinds is worth watching.

It Loves You, It Loves You Not

I have to agree with most of what has been said. The movie is hilarious when it is funny but those areas are few and far between and only happen when Jack Black is on the screen. I hated every scene that did not include Jack Black. Some parts of this movie were downright boring. When it finally picks up steam, it quickly slows down again never to regain the speed it was shooting for. I would reccommend it because some of the scenes and dialogue are priceless, but my reccomendation comes with a warning: Proceed with caution.

skip this one

I really thought this movie was going to be super funny and I wouldn't stop laughing, it was quite the opposite. Athough there were some funny parts, overall I thought this movie was just so,so at best. I thought it was a waste of my time and wouldn't reccomend it to anyone.
