Finally got around to Be Kind Rewind. This seemed to be two different movies in one - a tribute to pop culture film and a tribute to a jazz musician. These themes didn't mesh well and by the end when the jazz stuff was heavy and sugary, I was annoyed that it was edging out the pop culture fun.
Also - it began rather cartoony, with Jack Black's accident seeming like something out of Ghostbusters itself, but by the end it was way too real and serious. Too much variation in tone.
Enjoyable anyway, but left me wanting more fun.
