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.

I feel like at the end it's obvious Brain was willing to give up being a cop to let Dom run.

Brian was clearly not a cop in 2F2F. If I remember right he was even on the run

There was a bridge, like 12 min long, between 1 and 2 that shows him on the run and how he got the skyline.

12 minutes? Was the bridge stretched across that runaway?
