Takes a clever concept and cobbles a weak story around it.

Long before the movie ends, it slips right off the sprockets.

Be Kind Rewind declares that the riches of cinema history touch each of us personally. Films become so deep a part of us that we own them that our memories of them, whether faithful or fanciful, become their meanings.
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine

Give Be Kind Rewind a little time and an open mind, and it just might grow on you. Its premise is absurd, but adorably so.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
