Be Kind Rewind

Movie poster

Mr. Fletcher (Danny Glover) runs a video rental store in Passaic, New Jersey. Business is slow (probably because he still only offers VHS) and is unlikely to be able to pay for building repairs to avoid demolition, so Fletcher decides to take a few days off to spy on a successful DVD store and learn their business secrets. He leaves his store in the hands of his adopted son Mike (Mos Def) and his paranoid friend Jerry (Jack Black). Unfortunately, a freak accident at the local power plant has left Jerry magnetized and his mere presence erases all the tapes. The only solution is for Mike and Jerry to quickly reshoot the movies themselves, starting with Ghostbusters and Rush Hour 2. Their sweded films turn out to be a big success.
