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

Mile 22. Died at the box office and I'd heard nothing but bad things about it. Saw a DVD at the library and a stranger suggested it to me.
Seriously good thriller with action, intrigue, and some great acting.

I loved Hudson Hawk. The story was bonkers, the musical numbers were entertaining and had a great ending.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is always a good mention.
It's a fun and very accessible movie.

Doom 2005 wasn't bad.

I may be biased, as an RPG nerd, but man, they hit all the notes so damn well. That was such a good movie.

I'm giving away my age, but Benny & Joon. A story about two mentally ill people falling in love, and the script isn't even that great, but all the actors really sell it and it is such a quirky heart warming and funny movie.

The FPS sequence made me go
It was the best part of the entire movie.

"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 didnโt look like it would suck, Hellboy: The Crooked Man got panned by critics, but it was fantastic.

One of the best movies of the year for me, and I was expecting hot garbage.

I disagree. This both looked and was awesome.

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?

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.
