"Movies you expected to be terrible and ended up enjoying"


  

          

Inspired by Death to Smoochie last weekend saw for first time. Its not a great movie but I laughed a lot. Robin Williams and Ed Norton with Jon Stewart and Danny Devito, Im not sure why it took me this long to check out other than negative reviews..


Speed Racer probably one of the top movies in this category, expected shit and pleasantly surprised.

I remember how awful I thought the trailer was and how badly I needed convincing before I gave it a shot. Awesome flick. Still haven't seen KA2.

A little long for a comedy, but I was laughing the whole time. Speed Racer was the first thing that came to mind for me too.

I just don't think anyone wanted to se such a dark movie from the people involved, but man was it perfect for me as a kid. Totally defied expectations, I'm still amazed it got such a bad rap.

I saw the trailer and was like, this looks like typical romantic comedy crap. The lead was some side character from Knocked Up. Mila Kunis is cute but meh. Well I was very wrong. It is one of my favorite movies of all time. Watch it every time it comes on. Its the biggest movie L I have ever taken.

this movie is damn near perfect, not sure why I love it so much but I cant find fault with this movie

The Kings Speech - thought it was generic Oscar bait had no clue what I was getting into

Atonement - overly sappy period piece had two strikes against it but a friend campaigned hard for me to watch and sure enough really enjoyed it
