Describe A Movie Badly

[SleepingPhlox]

I've stolen this idea from exactly everywhere but it's fun.  Pretty much what it says: describe a movie accurately but in a way that makes it sound boring or misses the point the filmmakers tried to make, or takes an action movie and leaves out all the explosions...get the picture?

**Edited to add:  TV shows are also included, hit me with your funniest bad TV show descriptions!**

For example:

Iron Man 2:  Terminally ill man has trouble coping, and everyone gets mad at him for it.

Thor:  Two brothers want their fathers approval and then one reacts badly to finding out he was adopted.

Nightmare Before Christmas:  Guy feels stuck in his career path, tries a new career, decides to go back to the old one.

So yeah, that's how it works soooo..anyone got any fun ones?

Am I allowed to do shows? Because in that case:

A man with daddy issues convinces his younger brother to quit his promising career pursuit and drop out of Stanford to instead go on an epic road trip. Things go downhill from there... (Supernatural)

A hospital continues to make questionable budget decisions by paying an entire team of people to cure one person per week... (House M.D.) 

 

[SleepingPhlox]

Yes, I think the game should also include shows because I bet people have got some funny ones. Good idea to include those too!  If I can still edit my first post I'll put that in there!

 

The movie ones are killing me, but I think the Big Lebowski one up there was freaking genius.  Also I really want to watch Lapland Odyssey for context of that description now!
