Title: Son of Rambow: Why does Hollywood not make family films like this anymore?

It was funny and charming and all that jazz.  It wasn't awful to sit through as an adult and was very entertaining.  It also had kids sniffing paint and smoking cigarettes.  It was awesome.

It looked like very similar to that one movie with Mos Def and jack black.

Be Kind Rewind.

This movie was an excellent coming-of-age story and I felt captured the innocence of filmmaking.  Plus, for all you Spaced fans, Jessica Stevenson stars in it!

I thought the ending was rather eh but Be Kind Rewind is definitely a good movie.

She's credited as Jessica Stevenson.  I don't care if she changed her name!

Be Kind Rewind is pretty good if you go in not expecting much from it.  That's kinda tough since it has an interesting concept and an interesting director and an interesting cast, but if you get it through your head not to expect more than an okay flick, it's kinda cool.

The trailer for this movie was actually attached to Rambo 4 when I went to see it :lol

It looked super-crappy though.
