Jerry (Jack Black) is a junkyard worker who attempts to sabotage a power plant that he believes is melting his brain. But when his plan goes awry, the magnetic field that he creates accidentally erases all of the videotapes in a local video store where his best friend Mike (Mos Def) works. Fearing that the mishap will cost Mike his job, the two friends team up to keep the store's only loyal customer,ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâàa little old lady with a tenuous grasp on reality ÃÆââ¬Å¡ÃâÃÂ(Mia Farrow) from realizing what has happened by recreating and re-filming every movie that she decides to rent. This process is called sweding in the film and is referred to as to swede a film. The tapes are described as having come from Sweden as an excuse for higher rental fees and longer wait times. Jerry and Mike become the biggest stars in their neighborhood by starring in some of the biggest movies ever made, but soon get into trouble when it turns out their 20-minute duplicate films violate copyright law.
