Be Kind Rewind

When an aging video store owner (Danny Glover) in New Jersey learns that the city intends to demolish his condemned building and a nearby junkyard employee (Jack Black) inadvertently erases all of the videotapes in his store when he leaves a dedicated clerk (Mos Def) in charge in his absence in this endearing, clever, satirical comedy, the two friends hatch a harebrained scheme to "swede" popular movies, including Ghostbusters, The Lion King, Robocop, Rush Hour 2, and Driving Miss Daisy, by recreating their own wacky, 20-minute, amateurish version of the film starring local talent (Melonie Diaz, et al.), which ends up being a surprising hit with people (Mia Farrow, et al.) in the neighborhood.
