I loved this movie. I can't believe the critics dissed it. I'm not a fan of Jack Black but this performance changed my mind about him. He was goofy, yes, but so determined to do right because of his friendship with Mos Def. Danny Glover plays a VCR store manager with Mos Def as his shopkeeper. Somewhere along the lines, there is an interesting relationship between Glover and Mia Farrow, which the audience is never fully privy. After Black is irradiated, he walks through the VCR store and erases all the tapes on accident, just by his presence. Not wanting to upset Def's boss, Black and Def decide to act out the erased movies and rent them as the real thing. In a LOL moment, the customers pay extra for Black and Def's portrayal of their old favorites, such as "Driving Miss Daisy" or "Robocop." In a historical sense, the movie shows audiences how something like the end of the VCR and the era of the DVD can alter people's lives. It's really a good comic film.
