This is a comedy. The story is a little bit silly, but there is a bit of sentiment in the silly, a kind of nostalgia, which is very rare in comedy.
The story takes place in a small town in a small shop that still runs video rentals. Two silly protagonists accidentally "magnetize" all the video tapes in the store. The movie content on the video tapes disappeared, and they then came up with their own hands. The camera retakes those movies instead. So they went to film the Ghostbusters, to the Golden Pond, and to the Lion King... Of course the plot was a bit ridiculous, but maybe they read film production by themselves, and watched the two fools imitate and shoot those classic movie clips with silly energy. Very kind. The nostalgic atmosphere of the movie is very consistent. In the beginning of an irrelevant conversation, the old shopkeeper was asked why he was still single. He said that when he was young he didn't dare to speak to the person he liked, and he was chased by others. Afterwards, the new ones are often not as good as the old ones. The days pass by, and he becomes an old man in the blink of an eye...
