The gist of the movie is that Jack Blacks character, Jerry, through some hair brain scheme causes a magnetic field to erase every videotape at the video store his best friend Mike, Mos Def, works at. With Mike’s job at stake, the two team up to re-create and re-film every movie that the stores only customer, a little old lady who is a few fries short of a happy meal, wants to rent. The list of movies that they have to recreate is hilarious, ranging anywhere from “Robocop” to “The Lion King”.

Mos Def has a really dry sense of humor, as seen recently in “A Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy”, that will compliment Jack Blacks slapstick humor. The movie hasn’t seen a ton of publicity, so don’t expect it to be completely sold out this Friday, but I would go early enough to save some seats.
