I saw Be Kind Rewind the other day. All in all it's a bit goofy, but it's also pretty fun. I enjoyed the way they present the collective creative endeavor as a way to bring people together. So much that I cried at the end. Well, not cried so much as involuntarily teared up and dripped a bit. It used to be embarrassing, but now I can pretty much guarantee that any scene showing people opening up and coming together will get me to cry. Some notable (and pretty cheesy) scenes are from Keeping Up With the Steins (when Benjamin decides to have his bar mitzvah at his house and is welcoming everybody) and Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? (when Pappy O'Daniel leads a country crowd in a rousing rendition of "You Are My Sunshine"). I'd like to think that these scenes may might have made Dewey cry, too. Then again...
