This movie was horrible. No fun gags, it took off really slow, and it was a waste of $10. If you liked the trailer you will be crushed.

I disagree, I thought the film was a lot of fun. I will agree that some of it was weak, but it certainly wasn't horrible.
See the trailer twice and you've seen the movie. And that is some bad cover art!
That cover art is the theatrical poster.
One of the best reviewed comedies of the year? Hahahahah
Where the hell did you pay $10 to see this movie?
You all who diss this movie don't know what you're talking about!
C'mon, it's got a Pete Hammond blurb on the front cover, so it must be good!
;-D

I don't know about you guys but I'm really looking forward to this one, the trailer was hilarious.
Not bad cover art also.

This movie was a major letdown...
I think the fact that they had to take Back to the Future out of the script and rewrite a lot of it really factored into killing the more fun scenes of recreating the movies... there wasn't enough of that at all...
What you ended up getting was an uplifting story about the good ol' days and bonding a community together...
That's cool and all, but not the kind of movie I like, or would have gone to see had I known...
After seeing Science of Sleep, I think if Gondry could have merged the visuals (and the amount of them used) of that movie, with the heart of this movie, you could have a winner... I didn't like either film because they came up short on both ends of the extreme.

Like a poster above said, if you saw the trailer, you basically saw all the funny.

The movie wasn't that great, but the 'sweded' parts were awesome!!!

Agreed. This was a horrible letdown.

Not a bad movie,, but the ending was a letdown. I do agree the Sweded parts were the best part of the film (except for the sweded bit of Rush Hour 2).
Was everyone just expecting this to be a typical Jack Black comedy or something?
This was pretty funny and entertaining. I like the cover art. Hate the Hammond blurb but whatever, at least it's the poster art.
the film is alot more better if your a filmmaker, and being one i found it very funny.
Why's Danny Glover's name so small below Mos Def's. I didnt even notice it was there!
Anyway, this film was okay. Entertaining for 2hrs.

I wasn't, but I thought they missed a big opportunity do really do a lot with the remaking of the movies... Ghostbusters was pretty good and then, not much else.
It just wasn't what was advertised, and didn't live up to the concept or premise. IMO.

this was fun. there were a handfull of awkward scenes that didn't really work, but overall, i really enjoyed it. i'll pick it up.
I might buy this.
Terribly Photoshop'd heads.

Well actually I took someone to see it with me. Forgot to mention that.

A rental...
Wasn't interested in this when it hit theaters, so I have no interest to buy it on DVD 
Saw the movie and LOVED it!!! They don't make movies like these anymore, it reminds me of the innocent movies back then like Back to the Future, E.T. (and even) Ghostbusters where you just have to sit back and let it go. Gondry has an imagination that is so inventive and so full of heart that you can't help but love it. That one shot sequence of them jumping and sweding to all those different movies was INSANE, CREATIVE and so FUN to watch.
Gondry has released 2 movies that were very out of the box therefore, I didn't mind the out of the box-ness of the film because knowing Gondry (Eternal Sunshine and Science of Sleep) his films are always going to be different so to the ones who saw his previous films there shouldn't be any complaints. You knew what movie you were going into.
Black and Def were great and play off of each other so well. I almost cried at the ending, because being a student of film and understanding that the film industry nowadays is all about business and hollywood and money...it just really gave me hope and brought me back to my childhood and made me understand why i LOOOOOOVE movies.
Go watch the movie, relax and just go with it. Don't think about it too much, reality or not, BE KIND REWIND is a VERY creative film that is a gift from Gondry to film lovers EVERYWHERE!!!
9/10

I f**kin LOVED this movie with a passion. Naturally, I'm inclined to like it simply because it was filmed in the town next to mine. But I honestly thought this was a sweet and really clever, funny flick. Can't wait to own it.
Michel Gondry's a genius but the movie stank.
This movie was a lot of fun, love it!
Totally mad I missed this but it's a def blind buy for me. I really like the artwork but I am disappointed with the special features, and I do hope it's not a flipper disc.
They haven't made flippers for years.
Nice cover art. Can't wait to see this movie too.
