Films that should be shit… but end up being great

(… especially if for all the wrong reasons!)

Indy Jones 4 provoked my last thread on films, but I’ve just seen the trailer for a film at the other end of the spectrum.

http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/5447655/-/Product.html?searchstrin … chsource=0
This film looks fucking dreadful, I can’t find a single review for it (rotten tomatoes, metacritic, no-one has even reviewed it on play)

It has all the ingredients of a shit sandwich (bread & shit presumably), its even got a Baldwin in!! - but there is a part of me after seeing the trailer, that has to see this film! I know its going to be terrible. but I can’t not watch it.

So - what films have you seen that should have been / were utter shit but still ended up being good?

In return I shall lend you Best Men. I can’t begin to describe the awfulness… but it’s brilliant!

Sadly no. It’s about some blokes… one has just been released from prison and they’re on their way to his wedding when one of the ‘best men’ decides to rob a bank and they all get inveigled into helping him… with hilarious consequences. It’s got Dean Cain in it.

I think it was Billy Baldwin in Backdraft. Alec is the one from 30Rock (effing brilliant, if you haven’t seen it). Then there’s Stephen and Daniel. One of them was in The Usual Suspects and the other one just does TV I think, can’t remember which way round though.

The Dish about that Aussie telescope covering the moon landing. Dunno if it was meant to be that funny with it being a sort of true story but I thought it was brilliant and hilarious.

I have to say that I enjoyed “Superhero Movie” a lot.

And “Freddy Vs. Jason”, though I never doubted for a second I would not love it to death.

The remakes of “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “Dawn Of The Dead” were great, too, and surpassed the respective original, IMO.

Daniel played in Vampires with James Woods, and on TV he played in the first few seasons of ‘Homicide-Life on the Street’ He was the one who constantly had issues with his wife/ex-wife taking off with his kids.

Did anyone else feel that Mel Gibson’s remake of the classic Life of Brian wasn’t anywhere near as funny as the original?
