You know, for having mediocre reviews, I actually thought this was pretty amusing and the ending happens to be adorable.

The story takes place in an ancient video store where, yes set in present time, still only rents VHS's. Jack Black's character undergoes some electric shock and ends up as a magnetized person (which in itself is quite entertaining) and erases all of the videos in the store on accident. Jack Black and Mos Def's characters then decide to re-create movies for their customers using their own scenes and themselves as the actors, which is extremely entertaining. For example, Jack Black tries to sing the Ghostbusters theme song but gets it way wrong. It's great.

At the end, they make a film about a historic jazz figure who is supposedly from their era, and it's actually adorable. Oh yeah, the part with Jack Black doing black-face is amazing as well.

Check it out.
