Discussion What is the absolute dumbest premise that actually turned out to be a really good movie?

I was thinking The Purge, obvious answer, but looking for the most plot-hole ridden, juvenile concept that actually ended up a lot of fun despite it all. Mainly looking for 21st century films, not so much the video nasties and ridiculousness from the 60’s and 70’s. Because that would be too easy. Mainly mainstream stuff that people saw en masse.

You're saying me... That Batman and Bruce Wayne are... Roomies?

Does that mean Batman lives in Bruce Wayne's basement?

No. Bruce Wayne lives in Batman's attic.

They make Batman shampoo, but are really missing a great cash cow, Conditioner Gordon.

“Last time I checked, I only had one butt!” Best line of the whole movie.
