What's a film that maybe you should've hated, but ended up enjoying?

Asked by ucme (50047points) January 12th, 2015

The genre, actors, plot, were not your usual draw when it comes to film choices.
Or, perhaps you felt the film itself sounded bad, but you gave it a try anyway & were left pleasantly surprised.

A few romance comedies I was forced to watch ended up being funny.

Porkeys. I tried so hard to be all offended and shit, but I couldn’t help but crack up!

“A Million Ways to Die in the West”

For the first fifteen minutes there were serious doubts that I would continue watching the dvd but between scrounging around the pantry for sandwich making materials and the refrigerator for beer it stayed on and I ended up enjoying it after all.

^^ I’m not entirely sure why, but that surprises me, a lot.
Fine little film though, no doubt.

The Notebook

I generally hate romances – with the exception of the occasional comedy – but had to watch it for class (Psychology due to the dementia). Begrudgingly, I got it and popped it in and sat back on the couch prepared for what I was certain was going to be 2 hours of my life wasted.

All said and done, I cried a bit.

Guardians of the Galaxy.
The previews looked awful, and I only watched it as a courtesy to friends who liked it.
It has a crappy plot, and the characters are not really well fleshed out, but it made me laugh.

@filmfann It’s a very funny film, with numerous lol moments, the “dance off” being one highlight.
