What are some movies that are based on a seemingly terrible premise, the ones that you aren't sure how exactly they got the green light? Whether they actually turn out well or not is irrelevant.

For example, here's how I imagine the pitch for Yes Man to have gone:

"Alright, so there's this guy and this guy says no to absolutely everything. Then one day this other guy puts a spell on him to say, get ready for this... YES to everything! What do you think?"

"Somebody get me Jim Carrey on the phone!"
