OT: Game - make your favorite movie sound boring

in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum
Here's an idea to liven things up a little for fun. Describe the plot of one of your favorite movies in a way that makes them sound boring.

A few examples:

A guy gets the idea to build a baseball field. He builds it and a bunch of old people show up who want to play a game.

Yankee first baseman gets sick and dies. They name a disease after him.

Two guys from Rhode Island are dumb, they go cross country to return a suitcase.

    Some of my own personal favorites:

    A guy wins a golf tournament to save his grandma's house.

    A bunch of people raced to California to find a lot of money hidden under a big W.

    Some guy swallows a red pill. Then the true nature of reality is explained to him.

    A group of highly sophisticated guinea pigs goes on a mission to save the world from violent toasters and other malicious household appliances. They succeed.

    This guy has to pee into a cup when he arrives at work everyday in order to prove he's someone that he's really not so he can become an astronaut.

    Mickey Mantle's chimp joins a minor league baseball team and plays third base.

    This guy moves to New York and rents an apartment infested with co¢kroaches who talk. The roaches help the guy win the girl and they all become close friends. Music by Mel Tormé.

    A former caddy for the Dalai Lama (reknowned as a "Big Hitter"), now an assistant greenskeeper, ends up destroying a golf course in an ill-fated attempt to kill a gopher.
    Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all "right-thinking" people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

    This is known as “bad luck.”

    some schmuck with an attitude gets stuck in a high-rise which is taken over by greedy quasi-terrorists, detonates their explosives, steps on glass, chats on the phone, then drops Hans on the pavement and hooks up with his ex-wife.

    A prudish farm girl from the Midwest goes on a journey to find some magical guy. She does not want to go alone, so she decides to go with three others. Did she pick friends or family? No, she takes a scarecrow, a lion and a guy made out of tin. To make matters worse, the scarecrow is dumb as hell ... the lion is afraid of his own shadow and the guy made out of tin is a heartless SOB. On their journey a real FUGLY looking female (who has flying monkeys as friends) tries to stop the four from finding this special guy.

    A husky, young man (known as "the Ox" and "Mr. Vegas") joins the Army to take advantage of its tough training course to become a "Lean, Mean, Fighting Machine". His victory in a co-ed mud wrestling match ultimately leads to his platoon being selected to participate in the roll-out of the Army's new urban-assault vehicle, the EM-50. His platoon utilizes the EM-50 in a spec ops in communist Czechoslovakia (similiar to Wisconsin) resulting in a favorable test of the EM-50's capabilities and landing "the Ox" on the cover of Teen Beat magazine.
