What movies sound terrible when you give a brief synopsis?
My mom was describing a movie to my brother that she and my father had recently watched and enjoyed. She gave a brief synopsis and my brother said something along the lines that it didn’t sound very appealing. So she added a few more details, and then my brother started laughing and said that it sounded like an awful movie.
My mom and dad both insisted that it was a really good movie and that my brother would most likely enjoy it. They usually do like the same types of movies, but somehow the description of the movie, even though it was accurate, made the movie sound terrible. We were all laughing by the end of the conversation.
Can you think of any movies, old or new, that if you were to give a brief synopsis to someone who had never seen it, would think it sounded like a bad movie? I’m talking about movies that you actually liked.
I think this question will be more enjoyable if you each give an actual synopsis of the movie along with the name of the movie.
To give you an example, the name of the movie that my parents watched was called Big Game. It was on Netflix. My mother said it was about the President of the United States, played by Samuel L. Jackson, being jettisoned in an escape pod from Air Force One after the plane was being attacked by air. The President, played by Samuel L. Jackson, was very wimpy, not like you’d expect from Samuel L. Jackson. Anyway, he crash landed in a forest in Finland where he was found by a young boy who was initially suspicious, but ultimately helped him to escape from poachers who were trying to hunt him down for money, and to stuff him, like a game trophy.
