20 Movies and TV Shows That Gave Great Characters Absolutely Nothing to Do

Rare is the movie or series that’s firing on all cylinders. Ideally, it combines an intriguing plot, complex characters, a setting that feels at once both familiar and magical, and at least one scene that takes place in a male strip club, but you just can’t be everything to everyone all the time. It’s pretty much just Bride Wars and nothing else.
