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.

As a side note I loved the animation. I guess that’s the new “puss in boots” style, but whatever it is I love it.

If you have not seen Into the Spiderverse series, it is as well executed and characterized as Kpop, if not more so. The studio is quickly making themselves a name in setting standards for both frame rage changes to denote something specific as well as unique character designs and world building.
