Hollywood insiders say that 'Be Kind Rewind' is probably going to be the comedy hit of 2008, and might be considered among the funniest films of the decade! I don't see it myself, but this soundtrack that accompanies it is lush beyond all lushness! Indeed, the two stars of the movie - Jack Black and Mos Def - are both musicians and have contributed to it too. Yet looking at the dynamics of such an entity you have Black- who is an actor turned rock star in Tenacious D - while Mos Def is a rap artist rocker turned actor. So, who will get the soundtrack?

Well, anyone who loves classic tunes is in for a treat regardless. The album features Fats Waller cuts performed by the film's star Mos Def, writer/director Michel Gondry and composer Jean-Michel Bernard, plus classic tracks by Booker T and the MGs, Fats Waller, Billy Preston, original music by Bernard, and that performance by Jack Black.
