Movies that you thought would suck but didn't really suck |
|
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!).

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.

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.

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.

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.

9. I loved School of Rock. |

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

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.

Chris Nolan (of Memento fame) is a genius.
