Be Kind Rewind

I have to tell you that I was really looking forward to this movie. Michel Gondry is one of my favorite directors. I really enjoyed the Science of Dreams, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This movie was kind of dissappointing. I think it was a little too much an homage to the US and stuff that Gondry is interested in, like pop culture, instead of an excursion into love, relationships, and the human mind. Interesting story about how I saw this movie. My ex-girlfriend and her boyfriend went to see the same movie at the same time. Have no idea if it was his idea or hers, just know I was waiting in line to buy a ticket and they came stolling in. Probably pre-paid for their ticket online or some crap like that. I think I even sat down right behind them in the theatre accidentally, so I had to move, so, I wouldn't sit their thinking about their bullshit. This may have colored my take on this movie, so maybe I should watch it again on DVD to see if it improves in a different contex.
