This Online Group Shares Hilariously Bad Movie Plot Explanations And Here're 33 Of The Worst Ones

The objective of a plot summary is to condense a large amount of information into a short, accessible format. It is not to reproduce the experience of reading or watching the story, nor to cover every detail. Rather, it should provide a general overview that fills in on the major points.

In Hollywood, good plot summaries entice potential viewers. They sell tickets. But on the Internet the rules are different.

Take the subreddit r/ExplainAFilmPlotBadly for example. There, people compete who can create the worst plot summary. The rules are simple—pen something that is factually legit but in a way that would also disguise the title of the production you're talking about. The longer the members of the subreddit are unable to guess what movie you have in mind, the better.

Here are some of the best worst submissions.
