This is a silly but harmless fun piece of fluff, guaranteed to put some
smiles on your face and give you somewhat of a feel-good feeling when
it's over. I'm sure that was the intent, and very little more. It
wasn't made to astound anyone or provide huge laughs. Yet, it has a lot
of charm and subtle humor.

It's a ludicrous story, so you just can't take anything seriously. The
premise is unique: two guys converting a dying video rental store into
a success by taking blank tapes of famous movies and making their own
20-minute versions! The new "movies" are so bad, they're good and the
neighborhood starts making requests and renting the new "sweded" movies
like hotcakes. Goofy? Sure. Tons of plot holes? You bet......but a nice
movie.

The more films you know, beginning with "Ghostbusters," the more you'll
enjoy this as the guys make these cheap knock-offs on budgets of about
a hundred bucks! In addition, Jack Black, Mos Def, Danny Glover and Mia
Farrow were all fun to watch.

It's no award-winner, but you could do a lot worse.
