synopsis
Jerry is a junkyard worker who attempts to sabotage a power plant that he believes is melting his brain. But, when his plan goes awry, the magnetic field that he creates accidentally erases all of the videotapes in a local video store where his best friend Mike works. Fearing that the mishap will cost Mike his job, the two friends team up to keep the store's only loyal customer--a little old lady with a tenuous grasp on reality--from realizing what has happened by recreating and re-filming every movie that she decides to rent. From "Back to the Future," to "Robocop," to "Rush Hour," to "The Lion King," Jerry and Mike become the biggest stars in their neighborhood by starring in the biggest movies ever made.

Michel Gondry's first stab at broad-ish comedy is hit-or-miss, but his stroke of mediocrity is almost any other director's stroke of genius. Story In the teensy-weensy town of Passaic, New Jersey, there exists a dying breed: a video-rental store--as in VHS, not DVD. Just across the street from said store exists a power plant. And in between the store and power plant exists a doofus named Jerry (Jack Black). Yeah, it's a disaster waiting to happen (at least in writer-director Michel Gondry's… |
