Wow, I was so disenchanted with this film I nearly forgot to add it to the blog. Needless to say, when I first saw the trailers for this sometime last year, I was excited. The concept was fresh and unique: two guys work in a video store, accidentally erase all the store's tapes, then decide to refilm their own versions of many of the movies. Good actors that I generally like, especially Mos Def, and Michel Gondry at the helm (just like Stuff White People like says, all white people love Gondry flicks, myself included).
That said, this was terribly disappointing. The parts that I thought would be funny either weren't or were just too short, and the whole thing turned into a feel-good, save-our-inner-city type of message. I wasn't feeling it, and so I definitely wouldn't recommend it. Plus it has that hypocrite, Chavez-lover Danny Glover in it. I can barely stand to even look at the guy now.
