64 Times People Explained Movies So Badly It Was Good
Quick, describe the Narnia movie plot in just one sentence. “Kid comes out of the closet,” you say? Technically true, but let’s try this again, this time for The Wizard Of Oz and its elements of the plot. “Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again.” The perfect children’s movie, right?
These funny plot summary examples were part of the Twitter trend called 'Explain a film plot badly,' and though it does no justice to the popular movies, it’s absolutely hilarious! And no, no movie is safe from these hilariously inaccurate descriptions—from Twilight to the Harry Potter saga, every flick gets its fair share.
And what started as a happy accident took the internet by storm. Scroll down below to check our compilation of the best bad movie descriptions, and if these are not enough for you, there are many more on Twitter (X now).

Ugh. I despise the term "friend zone". What the hell is so wrong with just wanting to be friends? If anyone feels that a woman "owes" you a relationship and you're upset that she doesn't want to be anything more than a friend, then that just proves that you never actually liked her to begin with. Otherwise you would value your friendship with her and you would at least be happy that she is in your life, even if you do continue to just be friends.
