44. Be Kind Rewind

44. Be Kind Rewind (2007) - 02/07/09 - DVD:

I think the reason this movie did so poorly in theaters was because it was marketed as some sort of slap sticky, over the top comedy. The truth is it's nothing of the sort. This movie has so much heart and it gets better and better every time I watch it. Of course the "Sweded" scenes are hilarious but there is so much more to this movie. It's about a community coming together to save their local video store that is going to be knocked down and turned into condominiums. This movie reminds me of the simpler days before BLOCKBUSTER VIDEO, when going to the video store was a 2 hr event because your dad didn't know which movie he wanted to rent. It's sad how those days are gone and in our fast paced, ADD fueled lives there will be nothing like it ever again. Now it's all about having whatever you want at the tip of your fingers. You can download a movie in 3 mintues, watch it, and then just throw it away. Gone are the days of watching a movie 4 times on VHS with your family. What has happened to our society? 4/5
