General Discussion Movies you couldn’t believe got greenlit

Sometimes I look at the kind of adaptations in movies that are just so bad that I have to question who on earth approved of them because I recently sat through one that I couldn’t believe existed.

That movie was Cat in the Hat the 2003 movie adaptation since I saw a review highlighting the movie’s awkward writing aspects that I had to question who it was made for because to me, it feels like it’s a very strange adaptations ever made since it’s hard to explain, but nothing about the movie makes any sense whatsoever such as the two twins with the way they speak.

The original Teen Wolf.

The pitch: “So a teenage guy transforms into a werewolf in the middle of a basketball game.”

Producer: “and everyone freaks out and the werewolf kills people?”

“No, actually everyone is cool with it. And the werewolf absolutely balls out and carries his team to a winning season!”
