Be Kind Rewind

Not many people have heard of this flick but its pretty good. Jack Black plays an idiot who gets magnetized and inadvertently erases all of the VHS tapes at the video rental shop where his friend works. The boss, played by Danny Glover, goes away on a memorial trip and leaves the store to Mike (Mos Def). Mr. Fletcher (Glover) is under a great deal of pressure from a developer who wishes to demolish the video store and get rid of the slummy looking parts of the building. Since the only means of income are the videos, Mike gets the grand idea to re-shoot all of the erased flicks. After a successful run, Sigourney Weaver's character pops in to lay down the Copyright law. The store closes and the entire lot of the "Sweded" movies are destroyed. They town comes together in the end but you'll have to see what happens to the store.
It brought some tears which were rather unexpected.
Cheers
watch it.
