15 Films Should Have Been Over In 10 Minutes

[ad_1]

It seems that more often than not today, movies are padding their runtime. A 90-minute movie is often stretched into a 2+ hour film. But some movies shouldn’t even last 90 minutes; they should be over in 10 minutes. Because the script demands 90 minutes of runtime, the main characters are stupid.

Here are 15 films that could have been over in ten minutes if not for the main character’s stupidity.

The Visit

The M. Night Shyamalan film has an interesting premise, but it all comes crashing down if the main characters have any common sense.

Kids: “We’re going to visit our grandparents.”

Mom: “I don’t want you to go, but if you feel like you really want to go, I’ll drive you to their house.”

Mom: “Hey, y’all ain’t my parents. I’m calling the police.”

Sleeping Beauty

If they invited Maleficent to the christening, maybe she wouldn’t have been so mad. But no, let’s make the Mistress of All Evil upset. What could go wrong?

The Ring

It seems like common sense never to watch a film that kills you in seven days. Yet here we are.

Star Wars

Imagine if any Jedi not named Anakin Skywalker was chosen to be Padme’s bodyguard.

Or if anyone decided that maybe they should go back and rescue Anakin’s mother.

Aladdin

If Jafar paid Aladdin what was promised instead of betraying him, then Jafar would have the lamp and become an all-powerful ruler.

No Country For Old Men

If you stumble upon a crime scene with an open satchel of money, it’s generally best to avoid going back there.

School of Rock

If Dewey was ever asked to provide identification, his ruse is up.

Rent

“Hey, Mom, Mark here. I’m sorry, it didn’t work out, I’m being evicted. Can I go home again?”

Credits.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

If one of Ferris’ parents took the day off to care for their “severely sick” kid, then the movie is just 90 minutes of Ferris lying in bed, suffering the consequences of his actions.

The Emperor’s New Groove

While turning Kuzco into a llama seems like a could idea, Yzma should have stuck with her original plan.

Turn Kuzco into a flea, put that flea in a box, put that box into another box, send it to herself, and SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!

Home Alone

If only Kevin’s parents remembered that they put Kevin upstairs as punishment the night before they left for their flight.

Or if they set up backup alarms.

Or if anyone else in the house got up early.

Home Alone 2

I know that sequel has to sequel so the studio can make millions of dollars, but come on. You’d figure this family would have learned a lesson, right?
