Imagine being Warner Bros., turning down Home Alone, watching it stay in the top spot of the box office for 12 weeks into the next year and then seeing what you’ve chosen to make instead falter as it happens. You at WB chose to make a movie like Nothing But Trouble and then watched it fail hard while Fox rolled in the dough with Home Alone. A true “kicking myself” moment right there.

Tropic Thunder has no right being as good as it is. Underrated classic.

the other guys gave us such an iconic scene, the rock and sam jackson "aim for the bushes"🤣🤣🤣

I remember wanting my brother to watch Mean Girls and Legally Blonde with me, and he initially refused, thinking that they'd be "Too Girly." He ended up being pleasantly surprised by how much he enjoyed them.

The movie 'Tag' with Jon Hamm and Renner was SOOO funny 😂

[adcardenas]

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery was one of the first movies I thought of. I remember seeing posters for it and saying "This looks dumb." But, I went with a friend on opening night and was surprised how funny it was.

NO ONE thought Airplane! would be any good...until people went and saw the movie and laughed their butts off. And it still is funny 44 years later.

'Heartbreakers' should definitely be on this list. It's so criminally underrated. Nobody expected a movie with dramatic actors like Sigourney Weaver, Gene Hackman, Ray Liotta etc. to be so funny.

When you said classic lines from Friday, I think most of us thought the same thing:
"YOU GOT KNOCKED THE **** OUT!"

[slystone]

The Nice Guys is an underrated masterpiece and Ryan Gosling is superb making comedy.

I had no idea Eurotrip was going to be as funny as it was. I figured I'd probably chuckle here and there, but I laughed out loud near constantly with that film. One of my favorite teen angst/coming-of-age comedy films.

Can't believe you didn't mention it.

Tropic Thunder & Walk Hard are the two that blew me away as being so much funnier than expected

[vgsquirrel]

I went to see Game Night on a whim when I was subscribed to MoviePass. I was constantly surprised by how good it was and hope more people watch it.

Mystery Men (1999) I'm Not The Biggest Ben Stiller fan but Mr. Furious was my favorite character

[drunkenramblingswithaaron]

Always great to see Galaxy Quest getting love!

[BrentBare-cwgz]

Hot Tub Time Machine, Horrible Bosses, The Other Guys, Neighbors & 21 Jump Street Surprised Me.

“Take a picture, write it down. I don’t give a fck”😂
The guy who wrote Friday, wrote GTA San Andreas? If so that’s dope.

Where's The fantastic LEGO Movie? People thought it would be crap. It shocked almost everyone with its awesometudeness!!!

[crossgordon]

Wedding Crashers shoulda been on the list somewhere
