Sweding? That's what YouTube is all about. It's when you take something you love and make it your own. Like Jerry (Jack Black) and Mike (Mos Def) do when they make their own versions of GHOSTBUSTERS, ROBOCOP, and RUSH HOUR.
Check out our favorite YouTube swedes (maybe even one you made) in the Favorites gallery.
BE KIND REWIND, directed by Michel Gondry. To get Sweded, visit the official site at: www.bekindmovie.com
