10 Hilarious Movies That Were Supposed to be Serious
It's a beautiful thing when a movie is able to honestly move us, whether to make us feel sadness, fear, wonder, or what have you. Cinema is a visceral art, one that plays on our empathy in ways that no other medium can. And when a filmmaker can properly play with our emotions, the result can be transcendent catharsis. Or they could totally screw everything up and make us laugh instead. This is not a list of films that had a steady, assured hand behind them. These are movies that provoked the exact opposite of what they were going for, and have become infamous for reasons completely unintended by the filmmakers. These are the good bad films, the malformed but still utterly lovable freak-babies of the silver screen.
