Be Kind Rewind: Just a Silly Good Time
When I first saw the trailer for Be Kind Rewind, it made me feel all happy and giggly. I had relatively high hopes for the movie itself, thinking it would have that bizarre brand of humor I've come to expect from writer/director Michel Gondry and, satisfyingly, I was right. It's not the funniest film ever, and it's not the best use we've seen of Gondry's hyperactive imagination — it's just a goofy, silly good time.
Film Fanatics Make Be Kind Rewind-Like Videos for Contest
Opening this Friday, Michel Gondry's film Be Kind Rewind follows two video store employees, Mike and Jerry (played by Mos Def and Jack Black) who recreate shortened versions of the movies in their store when all of the videos are erased. Gondry himself spoofed his own trailer for Be Kind Rewind by recreating it by himself, scene for scene, with hilarious results. Now, thanks to a Filmmaking Frenzy contest, people around the country have been doing what Jerry and Mike — making spoofy 5-minute versions of their favorite films — in the hopes of winning a quad-core Dell workstation with a 30-inch monitor.
