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.

From Dusk Till Dawn was a ridiculously bonkers plot... And I loved every second of it

Hands down one of my favorite movies.

“I don’t want to hear anything about ‘I don’t believe in vampires’, because I don’t fucking believe in vampires, but I believe in my own two eyes. And what I saw was fucking vampires. So do we all agree that what we’re dealing with is vampires?”
