For me, there are two candidates. The 40 Year Old Virgin, I knew, would be a decent funny movie but what I wasn't prepared for was the fact that it would be a GREAT and HILARIOUS movie.
Yet the even bigger surprise was Devil's Rejects, which I was sure was going to be a bad bad bad bad movie because I'm not a Rob Zombie fan and I heard nothing but bad about House of 1000 Corpses. Yet I had nothing to do one rainy day, so I just went ahead and saw it. And what I didn't know was that it was actually a comedy, albeit a very very dark one. I found it creative and funny which I truly was not expecting from the trailers which emphasized only the murdering angle.

The 40-Year-Old Virgin
I expected it to be a run-of-the-mill gross-out comedy, but it turned out to be a very original, very funny and very touching movie.

Posted: 11/5/05 at 12:06pmI couldn't agree with you less on Devil's Rejects. I'm trying to think if a film has surprised me this year and I don't think any have. I think they have just disappointed.

YOU'RE deplorable! Kidding. I've always wanted to say that.
Yes, it was deplorable. And I loved it.

House of Wax??? seriously???
I thought Crash was excellent, and considering Sandra Bullock and Brennan Fraser were in it, I think it's a surprise.

House of Wax??? seriously???
Absolutely. I walked in with minimum expectations, and was surprised to see a really fun, gory, well-made slasher movie. It was the first satisfying movie I saw all year, other than Sn City.
Oddly enough, I didn't like Crash.
PS - Tiff, you've got me all figured out.
