  I remember the extended 7 minute trailer for this movie dropping in 2012 and being very excited to watch this movie, only to let the negative reviews (and daunting 3 hr. runtime) sorta push me away from it.

  The Pride of the Yankees 1942

  It's honestly incredible how dedicated this movie is, and by that I mean, completely ignoring the promise of its premise. All you need to do is put these two characters in a hotel with a bunch of pots and pans and sharp objects and you have a 90 minute classic, but the film consistently goes out of its way to try something different (and worse), with horrible results. Just watch the original shorts, or if you want a fun hybrid of live-action and animation, watch Looney Tunes: Back in Action.
