Movies are everyone’s favorite pastime and any cinema fanatic will have no problem explaining their favorite movie plots to you for hours on end. However, sometimes it’s fun to look at things in a simpler way and poke fun at the ideas of popular motion pictures.

Our community members were asked to explain a movie plot badly - in a way that’s not necessarily wrong, but a bit too on-the-nose. Scroll down to see the results.

Small story here- So one time, I was yapping with my friend about this grasshopper we adopted. (We also adopted Sans, but that is a whooole other story.) Anyways, I made a passing comment about that grasshopper being so far and so long in the closet that he had seen an age before and an age after an enternal winter, and he (friend) busted out laughing. And I'm just like-"wait you got that?!?!"
