Ridiculous Movie Plots
By Miss N
I had no intention to see Seven Pounds, but I did sort of want to know what the title meant, so I went to The Movie Spoiler (needless to say, if you click, there will be spoilers) and read a plot outline.
The conclusion of the movie sounded so ridiculous that I actually laughed out loud at it - and I'm not an LOLer. At all. It was completely inconceivable.
Which recent movies have had completely unbelievable plots? Transformers doesn't count, guys.

If, by "unbelievable", you mean "unbelievably stupid", I would have to say every single chick flick and torture porn flick that came out this year qualifies. (Seriously, I think the horror genre is dead. It has turned into torture porn. Why people enjoy watching that sh*t is beyond me.)
Any recent horror movie.
10,000 B.C. was pretty freakin' ridiculous
I actually heard through a secret source that Weekend at Bernie's 3 would be coming out in May. The plot is supposed to be about the two guys, twenty years into the future fro the first movie, broke because of a life of 80's excess carried on until now. Richard wuld discover in a stash of Bernie's belongings a diary written thirty years earlier explaining how he was able to get some of the money to America, to his weekend place in New Jersey. the guys would go to the house only to find it now owned by New York Jets Quarterback, Brett Favre. They would disguise themselves as exterminators sent to clean up the block after one of the neighbors had an outbreak of silverfish and gain entry into the home. They would question them about crawl spaces and things like that which could have nests and they say they don't know of any. The guys find the crawl space and the safe is still there, but they have no idea of the code.
After this, they find the body of Bernie, at a Gap, workin there with his trusty walkman still running. They take him to a witch doctor who makes Bernie respond to heavy metal and go toward the safe when he hears it.
The guys dress Bernie up as their manager and take him the next time they go to the Favre's home, saying they always do a follow-up check. Once inside, Bernie finds the treasure and as tey are leaving, Favre ses them with the cash and thinks they are robbing him. He chases them at which point Bernie and the guys become seperated.
Hilarity ensues as they try to get the cash back.
I think a lot of movie plots, basically all, are pretty ridiculous and would never happen. But that's why it's a movie- it is different from real life and is just entertainment.
And I have to agree about horror movies. They are all blood, gore, torture and yes, a lot like a porno.
Twilight was dumb. I hope the books have much more sophisticated dialogue than the movie did. I pretty much rolled my eyes throughout the whole thing. Edward Cullen strikes me as a creepy stalker with NO romantic appeal whatsoever, I do not understand why so many of my friends are in love with him.
Dumb just isn't the word for Twilight. Highschool musical is beyond ridiculous. Most horror movies are just sex. Most comedy movies are just sex jokes/gross outs. Movies are going way down hill lately.
To me this horror movie called "The Unborn" sounded stupid. But I usually hate horror flicks anyway.
Twilight - the plot isn't exactly ridiculous, it's just boring. And Zohan.
Awww, seven pounds wasn't that bad. The plot might sound stupid, but hey! It's Will Smith. The movie kind of HAS to rock. :)
Don't know what's wrong with me, but I actually guessed the plot about 20 minutes into Seven Pounds and it totally ruined the rest of the movie for me.
As far as unbelievable goes, I thought Eagle Eye was very unbelievable...especially when you find out who's behind all of it.
@sarahzthoughts@xanga - You have to read the books! Ok, you don't have too but I think you will get a better understanding perhaps? The movie Twlight seemed very unrealistic rather than the books. OK OK Twlight is very very unrealistic considering that there are no vamps, true and undeniable love for one another, etc. In the movie, It's almost as if Bella and Edward knew eachother like 2 days and all of a sudden it was like, "OH MY GOD don't leave me. I love you so much and I've only known you like 2 hours" (I like to exaggerate/make fun of)
The movie should have been a lot longer to seem more like the books. Unfortunately, that never happens.
The saw movies are pretty ridiculous. Pretty much any movie with a mastermind villain require things to happen exactly as they happen in the movie or their plan would go horribly, horribly wrong. Also, most bond movies.
Secret Window, Hide and Seek, The Machinist, High Tension or any of the other movies where one of the characters only exists in the other's head.
Face/Off is hilariously ridiculous.
Any of the Die Hard sequels.
Southland Tales is not only completely ridiculous, but utterly incomprehensible.
Who's seen Jeepers Creepers(the first one)?
Most ridiculous movie I have EVER seen. And in actuality, it was hysterical, and I get scared easily.
It didn't make me laugh. One of my eyebrows just went up in one of those "WFT?" moments. Hollywood ran out of ideas long ago. We should stop expecting anything from them.
