Be kind rewind. 7-10

Movie was ok and worth a watch,it's mainly based on an old struggling video store owned by a local music hero fats something.As sales are down and threats to his business and livelyhood come from restless property developers,two main characters played by jack black and mos def decide to make popular titles in swede form.This being a kinda b movie style with their own characteristics,titles such as robocop,driving miss daisy,lion king etc get covered.Towards the end the copyright people led by sigourney weaver slap an infringement on them which causes mos def and jack black to get the whole towns people ionvolved in a one off lifestpry film about the store owner fats.The acting was good,jack black wasn't as funny as usual but i guess not being the lead character behind danny glover and his step son mos def,he was kinda overshadowed.One thing i don't quite understand though is mos def's ability to turn from normal to a spastic during his acting.
