Movies that were better than you had expected

A lot of times people talk about hyped out movies that turn out to be disappointing, but what about those you didn't really have high expectations for but turned out to be rather good?

The 40 year Old Virgin immediately springs to my mind. I initially expected it to be a movie about a loser ugly guy who lives with his parents still... but he was actually a pretty regular guy who was quite independent and had a nice house and a stable job. Plus, while his friends joked about it, they actually wanted to help him find someone and he did in the end. The movie has its silly moments, but was actually a pretty solid comedy and had a rather happy ending. I thought it was just gonna be a really stupid and empty immature comedy, but it turned out to be a pretty solid movie.

What about you?
