While he's away, a regular customer manages to erase all the video tapes in the store. In desperation to cover this misdeed, the customer and the owner's nephew decide to remake the movies themselves, resulting in hilarious rip-offs of famous movies.

Be Kind Rewind

Did she dump you?
GET HER BACK!

So she broke your heart.

It's not the end of the world.

You're not a quitter, are you?

There is a way to transform her resistance into total submission...
