Movie Review: Be Kind Rewind - Page 2

Unlike Son of Rambow (a film that was also trying to grasp the essence of film and failed on multiple levels), this film has a tender spot for movie lovers and pleases without being disorganized and erratically uneven. A solid script, great cast, and an amusing premise guide this homage to movies, friendship, and the power of numbers to its warm finale. Be sure to take the time to cherish each clever scene and the outer limits of Michel Gondry's imagination. The ending will either be a touching, heartfelt one or an insipid, whimsical one (depending on one's perspective). For me, it was entirely endearing.
