Producers and screenwriters will regularly say that one of the most important steps in making a feature film is pitching their idea to a studio.

This is definitely not what the latest Twitter hashtag trend had in mind, with plenty deliberately trying to #ExplainAFilmPlotBadly. Some of the descriptions are hilarious.
Take a look.
