2008-Comedy
I admit i like Jack Black. The man is hilarious in his music, and acting even though he plays the same roll over and over again (like most comedians today, I'm looking at you Will Farrel). This movie had to have been delayed for a while because i could have sworn that I saw the trailer for this February of last year about it coming out for the Christmas season. Too bad too, this film would have been perfect for the holidays.
Synopsis:
Jerry is a junkyard worker who attempts to sabotage a power plant he suspects of causing his headaches. But he inadvertently causes his brain to become magnetized, leading to the unintentional destruction of all the movies in his friend's store. In order to keep the store's one loyal customer, an elderly lady with a tenuous grasp on reality, the pair re-create a long line of films including The Lion King, Rush Hour, Ghostbusters, When We Were Kings, Driving Miss Daisy, and Robocop, putting themselves and their townspeople into it. They become the biggest stars in their neighborhood.
All-in-All:
I really enjoyed this film. More than i should have. The 'Sweded' theme and their original takes on the films were down right hilarious. I guess it relates to me in a lot of ways, doing the same things for church and personal fun. The story itself was just an excuse for some what of a trial that the characters had to overtake, and the reasons of the tapes getting erased was just a throw away plot. Now that i think about it, ignore the plot completely and just enjoy the chemistry of the 2 main characters and their antics. O-yea, did I forget to mention that Danny Glubber is in this film too?
Riko's Rating: A
