But Really enjoyed.
For me I would say "Music & Lyrics", I was bored one day and my mum decided to watch it on DVD and I thought "Bugger it" i'll give it a go.
It turned out to be a funny movie with likable characters and I was surprised as hell.

The Devil Wears Prada, watched it with my sister and it was really enjoyable.
Also 12 Rounds and Meet Dave both surpassed my expectations.

Speed Racer. Originally watched it for no other reason than to goof on it and actually ended up enjoying it quite a bit.

Sky High was actually a funny, heartwarming story about super heroes. Going in I thought it was some lame, sloppy, romantic "Starring Zach Efron"-ike movie.
Dave was the same. Great film.

Also, I was expecting to hate Paul Blart: Mall Cop but found it to be pretty amusing.

Also, I was expecting to hate Paul Blart: Mall Cop but found it to be pretty amusing. I tried but I didnt last 30 min. Resident Evil and X-men Origins Wolverine get my vote off the top of my head. |

That's as close to an automatic win in my book as it gets. I didn't expect to hate Transformers per se, but I had zero expectations for it. It won me over. |

I thought Accepted was going to be your run-of-the-mill stupid teen comedy. I was so very wrong and really enjoyed that movie.

I didn't really expect to like Tropic Thunder. Ended up thinking it was pretty funny. I'll also put a vote for Sky High.

Also, I didn't think Mean Girls was that bad of a movie. I think the fact Tina Fey wrote it is what saved it for me. Perhaps this means Baby Mama won't be as bad as I'm expecting it to be. Then again, I'm basing that judgment on the title alone. Damn, but do I hate the phrase "Baby Mama"!

I expected to hate 'Wild Hogs', but ended up loving it.
I too surprisingly enjoyed Sky High.

Not sure if hate is the word but I had no interest in going to see the Star Trek film, the only thing I'd seen or heard about it one of the early trailers which gave a glimpse of the Enterprise. I've never been into Star Trek at all but....wow, what a great film!

Wanted.
I went in thinking it would be a really dumb shoot-em-up that would show that Mark Millar (the creator of the graphic novel) was a big whore for himself and not willing to fight his corner on it.
I came out thinking it was one of the most well done, most bad ass action films of the last decade.

Seeing previews for National Treasure, I thought it looked quite awful. But I watched it on the TVs at the video store I used to work at, and was surprised to find myself enthralled with the whole thing.
For some reason, the internet "that guy is overrated" anti-hype surrounding Judd Apatow usually gets to me, and I think I'm not gonna like something he's involved in (Superbad, Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), but every time I enjoy the hell out of the movie in question.
