Movies that you thought would suck but didn't really suck

[ALago1]

You know what I'm talking about. They look ridiculous, poorly made, and stupid, but when you actually sat down to watch them you're actually entertained and pleased.

My vote: Cool Runnings

John Candy was awesome in this and despite its overt cheesiness and moralizing, it IS an entertianing story (I swear!).

1. Cool Runnings

was a good movie. I enjoyed it.

[WeRQ4U]

2. The newest Star Wars

[nytemare]

24. I second that one!

The last two came close to defining suckdom. I was pleasantly surprised!

[Tempest]

3. The Pacifier

I wasn't really looking forward to renting it, but there was nothing else available.

I enjoyed it enough to watch it twice before returning it.

[DS1]

5. It was all rented out at Blockbuster the other day

I was there for Shawn of the Dead

150 million box office can't be wrong :shrug:

[Tempest]

18. I got the last copy

Out of approx. 20 copies the store had.

And when I brought it back, there were no copies to rent and they had a waiting list for it.

6. No Way!

I would've bet my life that it would have been a big piece of crap!

[Tempest]

19. I thought so too

I thought it would be like watching Arnold or Stallone do comedy.

But Diesel can actually pull it off. He can even show a tender side convincingly.

14. Did Vin

take his shirt off?:evilgrin:

[Tempest]

20. More than once

He even walked around in a towel. ;)

[bigwillq]

21. Now I really need to see it!

:evilgrin:

[Tempest]

22. And he was dripping wet

But since I'm a guy, I thought it distracted from the rest of the movie. :)


He did get to beat up a bunch of people, and blow up a bunch of stuff, so I was entertained.

4. Shallow Hal and 50 First Dates.

[ALago1]

7. I did like Shallow Hal

50 First Dates was "meh".

[bigwillq]

16. 50First Dates was so cute

Very funny. I love Drew.

[DS1]

8. School of Rock

The Lion King
Alladin

[flamingyouth]

9. I loved School of Rock.

I really didn't want to go see it but got talked into it. I laughed so hard.

"Are we going to be creating musical fusion every day?":D

[ALago1]

12. School of Rock was great

I kind of expected it to be though because I waited until I heard a bunch of rave reviews from people before seeing it.

[WhollyHeretic]

10. Farrelly Brothers movies always look bad in the commercials

but I always end up laughing my ass off.

[TimeChaser]

11. Batman Begins

I thought it was going to be crap.

[On the Road]

13. I Was Pleasantly Surprised, Too

Chris Nolan (of Memento fame) is a genius.

[liontamer]

15. american pie(the first one) and bring it on

[Initech]

17. Fight Club

The previews made it look pretty lame, but it is one of my favorite movies ever made!

[liontamer]

23. me too

I was dragged kicking and screaming too it, and was totally blown away
