23 Movies With the Most Ridiculous Plots Imaginable

‘Oops, we stopped the rotation of the Earth’s core!’

The best thing about movies is that they’re not real. That unfortunately means you can’t hook up with any of the Kens in Barbieland, but it does mean Barbieland can exist, as well as anything else those auteurs can dream up.

That means all movies are slightly ridiculous, but user ProbablyHittingOnYou started to notice that some are completely ridiculous. “I’m not talking about a movie that has a very ridiculous moment or scene or anything like that,” they told r/AskReddit. “Movies where the entire background of the plot is just completely unrealistic.”

For example, “I was watching Escape from (New York) and thinking how funny it was that they decided the best place to make the biggest prison in the world would be the place that has the highest property prices in the entire world.”

They then asked, “What movie has the most ridiculous, unlikely premise?” This is how their fellow Redditors answered…

Mrs. Doubtfire
