Bad Movie Descriptions Volume 1

Well, it happened again. Something woke up my muse and thanks to my obsessiveness shit, I ended up not being able to stop her creativity for several hours. This time it was something as simple as a Tweet.

Jimmy Kimmel occasionally asks the Twitterverse to badly describe a movie or TV show and while there are always some great ones, my brain quickly started spinning. And then it started getting kind of fun.

My wife even started trying to challenge or even stump me by throwing some names at me and was quite surprised by some of the ones I came up with. I’m not saying that they’re all hilarious but I think you’ll find at least a few of them rather funny.

In case you haven’t seen a particular title, I’m including the trailer for each one along with their bad movie description and as many of them are personal favorites that are in my library, I recommend checking out any that catch your eye.

Be sure to share your own bad movie descriptions below or on our Twitter or Facebook feed for a possible shoutout in future editions and of course, let me know which are your favorite.
