Oh, a cute rom-com! This is a great soundtrack! Hey, it's a young Ray Liotta! Oh, shit, this escalated quickly!

Yup, this. Similar situation with Adam Sandler's Click (perhaps the only Adam Sandler movie I enjoyed)
Edit: damn it chrisPjelly.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned starship troopers.
Seems like just pulp about teenage space soldiers shooting up giant insects, but it is actually a social commentary, and a very accurate prediction of the (then) future.
I haven't seen the movie but... sounds about right? Dahl's books are often darker than your average children's tale.
It kind of gets even more light hearted than the 90210 with space marines it claimed to be.I'm surprised nobody mentioned starship troopers.

Love this movie. Used to watch it a lot as a kid.Tuff Turf.
Everything about this seems so typical for an 80s movie, new kid in school runs afoul of the local thugs, falls for lead thug's girl, music, we've all seen this, but everything about the actual movie is off. There are elements along the way that do point out that not everything is as by the numbers as it seems...our hero is the instigator of everything, to the point were it feels like he gets off on it, the movie is a quasi-musical with a few different diegetic musical performances(some involving Jim Carroll somehow), the violence being more brutal than usual(combination locks in towels beat down!), but it swerves so much harder than one could imagine in the final act. Rape, murder, and more murder!
You basically sit down for:
And you somehow end up: HERE
edit: The movie is also amazing. I mean look at this. It is heaven on earth.
Click.
Expected fart and dick jokes in typical Adam Sandler fanfare. Got that.
And then the movie goes through an existential crisis and it legitimately got me teary.
The advertising hid that Pan's Labyrinth was subtitled so hard that when I saw it in the theater, one of the theater employees came out and warned us beforehand. I'm guessing there were lots of complaints in prior showings.This. I was expecting this to be a Pan's Labyrinth thread, actually. The US marketing for it was pretty misleading from what I remember. Enjoyed the hell out of the movie, but it wasn't what I was expecting at all. I didn't even know it would be subtitled going into it lol
That movie was way better than it had any right to beSpringbreakers. Holy crap. I thought this was going to like a light hearted sexy filled slapstick movie.
Colossal
trailer made it look like a comedy
movie is not funny and actually pretty fucking dark
Grave of the Fireflies
"It's a Ghibli movie, let's watch it as I need something lighthearted since I'm feeling a bit depressed"
Best idea ever.

Went in expecting a silly "sexy comedy" starring Jim Carrey.

Yes good example.
Though a comment on the poster-it's a huuuuge giveaway
OK, I've got a TV series, adult swim one I believe... Moral Orel... Good Lord I thought this'll be fun, so damn bleak

It's like if Zack Snyder's first movie was a budget A Clockwork Orange ripoff.
Really? The film poster of that one totally gave it away. Also it is made by Miike Takashi, which also says enough haha.
