No matter if you’re a binge-viewer, a theatergoer, or a full-on cinema critic who looks for depth in every motion picture, you find yourself in a situation where you need to answer the quintessential question. “What was it about?” is a hell of a challenge thrown at you, where 2 hours have to be somehow packed into three sentences tops.

You clear your throat and give it your best shot. Now what? Now nothing. Describing famous movies is not that easy, whether we like it or not.

But let’s change the rules and see if we can answer the same question by deliberately missing the point. Like, completely off. These people rose to the challenge, and it turns out, bad movie descritions are somehow way more fun than being overly serious.

Deciding whether to spend 2 hours watching some popular movie and not wasting your precious time may be a hard thing to do on your own. That’s why we consult people who shower us with some random funny descriptions, read reviews, or check the rotten Tomatometer. In any case, friends usually have the biggest influence, so whatever they say may strike a chord or kill the film for good.

To find out just what a movie description is really capable of, Bored Panda reached out to Romina, the filmmaker, and blogger who previously came up with a similar type of Twitter thread that went viral. She asked people to describe the movie plots of their favorite flicks as boring as possible and got some super creative replies that you can check in our previous article.

Romina told us that some film “descriptions on Netflix indeed sound pretty ridiculous,” but precisely “because of that, they are 'good.'”

The filmmaker added that even though it’s pretty hard to determine what kind of description falls into a good or not-so-good category, the most important thing about it is to get people to watch it. “If a description makes you want to watch a movie, it’s good.”

The filmmaker also said that as long as the description reflects the core of the film, it’s good to go. “It’s only wrong if the description is way off. If the description mentions werewolves but the movie has no werewolves, then we are in trouble.”

“A little mystery and interpretation without revealing the plot twists are good because it creates intrigue and people want to watch the film.”

Romina suggested coming up with a bunch of different versions of the description and seeing which one resonates the best. “Whichever sells the movie is the right one,” she concluded.

Oh, yeah, I actually was confused about the title of this film. I was like "What? Wasn't the live action film of Avatar already released and not very well received? What is this?" Then, okay, I found out it's a completely different film, with a coincidently same title, and I was still like "oh, it must be about the social network". Nope, not that one either.
