What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?

I'll start: "Happy Death Day"
"The Adventures Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension" 1984
Great script, great cast, young Johnathan Lithgow and Christopher Llyod, Peter Weller in one of his best rolls, and bonus Jeff Goldblum as they new guy.
Whole thing is still a perfect package, looking like a B movie you'd totally skip.

Although to me it didnβt look like it would suck, Hellboy: The Crooked Man got panned by critics, but it was fantastic.
-
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is always a good mention.
It's a fun and very accessible movie.
One of the best movies of the year for me, and I was expecting hot garbage.

Star Trek First Contact
My proof reading has failed me yet again (original fuck up: Star Trek First Conact)
I disagree. This both looked and was awesome.

One of my all time favorites, so quirky

I got this at a DragonCon. They did a pre-release showing and gave these out to the audience.

Exactly. It was one of my top three ST movies, and by all accounts. Ebert reviewed it positively, as one of the best of the franchise.
I wonder why they put it in the "looks like it'd suck" category?

I may be biased, as an RPG nerd, but man, they hit all the notes so damn well. That was such a good movie.
Which is precisely the problem: I am not, and not only was I mildly bored, I also found the narrative to be just plain incoherent. It was obvious to me the story was driven by some Reference Guide on RPG stuff, and not on captivating an audience.
I guess it hit every nail on the head. That's all it hit, actually.

Jealous!

Originally, Pirates of the Caribbean. A movie made because of a Disney ride seemed like a stupid idea.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent and Renfield were absolutely amazing and I think they fit the bill

:::I love this movie, but the audio mix kills me. One minute you are struggling to hear characters speaking and then your eardrums get blown out when they cut to the next fight starting. I do have tinnitus so I may be biased a bit.

The first one was my obsession when it came out in dvd

Population 436, kind of a revamp of The Lottery but it does things a bit different along the way. It actually has Fred Durst as a cast member and he killed his role I think.
