Highest Grossing Films by Genre
and by "fun little" I mean ambitious and perhaps overlong. But still good, imo

On top of that, bad acting, dumb + illogical + insulting script, awful direction, poor cinematography, cheesy + juvenile jokes, and so on. A far-fetched premise doesn't make a movie stupid if the story asks you to suspend disbelief about one or two things and then is otherwise consistent, that's fine... that's called fantasy. Michael Bay movies are not fantasy. They're just stupid.
But I'm surprised things like Ace Ventura didn't make the cut
