My quick rating - 6,7/10. I have no idea how I had NOT seen this one until now. A very creative and discretely funny flick that has Jack Black accidentally get magnetized and erase all the video tapes in the store he works at. In a desperate attempt to appease one of their customers, they decide to remake some of the "classic" flix on their own. In rental days, VHS was the way to go before digital, so to try and keep this fading store alive, they turn to these "swedes" as they call them and begin remaking films for the whole neighborhood.
