Review of Be Kind Rewind (2008) by Kim Newman for Empire Magazine Australasia — 20 Mar 2008
The remake/parody sequences - trailers for which are on the official site - are outstanding, but Black’s all-over-the-place mania and Mos Def’s slightly too bland orphan hero don’t quite tie the rest of the picture together.
Still, it has heart. And you’d rather see this version of "Rush Hour 2" than the original.
