Re: "I thought this was a comedy?"

[identity profile] allisontooey.livejournal.com 2015-11-06 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
I have this happen a lot. Some choice examples;

*"The Postman Always Rings Twice" is a Film Noir, and not, in fact, a melodrama, which I didn't realize until it popped up in a Film Noir collection.

*I thought Marilyn Monroe's "Bus Stop" would be a comedy, since that's generally what she acted in. I was so convinced of this that I watched it on VALENTINE'S DAY. Yeah, I didn't expect the creepy stalking at all.

*Just by title alone, "Reform School Girls" sounds like a cheesy, campy movie that MST3K would love. Instead, it's depressing and bleak.

*"The Man Who Would Be King" sounded like some sort of bombastic drama. It turned out to be a fun comedy instead. Not that I was complaining...

It's always strange when you get a "bait-and-switch" (not quite the right term, but the best I can think of), but it can be fun, too.
