Stupidity: When Alice opens the door for the dumbwaiter, how did she not see the bottom of the elevator was removed when she was looking right at it? She even realised it was missing as she was getting in, but she still let go and fell to the basement.
Stupidity: This film portrays Michael Jordan and his family living in a relatively modest house in the suburbs. Jordan was one of the most famous people on the entire planet around the time the film takes place. Living in such an area would lead to a never-ending onslaught of overzealous fans, paparazzi, and even detractors.
Stupidity: There is no way Mr. Mertyle did not hear the fence in his backyard crash to the ground; there's also a likely chance he could hear his dog crying and Smalls saying the dog is hurt. Even if he could ignore the sounds of other attempts to try to get the ball back; with the fence coming down where his dog lives and the chances of an injured pet it seems far too unlikely he wouldn't have rushed straight to the backyard hearing this.
Stupidity: If the fairies knew that Maleficent was going to try and kill Rose on her 16th birthday, why, oh why, do they take her back to the castle on that day? Why take her back to where Maleficent was expecting her? Why not wait until after her birthday?
Stupidity: Billy and Allie saw there were several men in the area also searching for the medallion and the kids even hid from the men minutes before finding the medallion. Instead of quickly sneaking away after they found the medallion, Billy and Allie stayed in the same spot and Billy shouted, "We found it! We found it!" Seconds later, two men came from behind the tree. (00:24:00 - 00:24:21)
Stupidity: When Gail shoos Luke off the first day, in fact nobody accompanies him to the door and they discuss the evil plans when he's not even gone nor they even check he is, they just go ahead with the script. It's a rather odd dynamic, very rushed and movie logic-like. Or theater logic, since it's a typical 'exit stage left' moment.
Stupidity: Just after the geckos have finished eating Josephine's children, Thang, Rose, Didi and Sal attempt to sneak away. They attempt to sneak away from the geckos by walking directly in front of them which results in the geckos spotting them. If they attempted to get away in literally any other direction, the geckos would not have seen them. (00:22:50)
Stupidity: The whole movie necessarily has to be filled with stupidity (we're talking about a 9 months kid besting 3 adults), but there's one part perhaps not so obvious and that may be related to a mistake about the ransom note. When the bad guys watch the news, it's obvious that their original plan failed, since they cannot retrieve the money at the designed drop zone, the police have been called and they'd need to rethink the whole operation. Yet they make no comment about it and don't seem bothered by that at all.
Stupidity: Jimmy and his friends aren't allowed by their parents to go to the opening of Retroland because it is a school night. What kind of amusement has its grand opening on a school night? It would make more sense commercially to open on a Friday or Saturday night.
Stupidity: The Foot Clan knows that April O'Neil is an ally of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Since the Foot Clan hasn't been able to find the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for where they live a easy solution would be for them to go to April and ask where are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. An explanation is never given in the movie for why the Foot Clan never use that easy solution.
Suggested correction: First of all, the Foot Clan at the beginning of the movie is disorganized. Secondly, upon Shredder's return, he plants a Foot soldier named Freddy into April's news crew in order to keep an eye on her and find out where the Turtles are. Then they change tactics when they discover there is still some of the mutagenic ooze around, which they then decide to use to create their own mutants to lure the Turtles out of hiding.
Stupidity: Why would Stanley say the shoes fell out of the sky? It happened under a bridge. Any normal person would instantly realise someone threw them off the bridge.
Suggested correction: It's an idiom/expression. When something turns up out of nowhere, we say "it came/fell from the sky." In fact, Mr. Sir says this to Stanley when he finds Stanley with his empty bag of sunflower seeds, "Where did this come from? Did it fall from the sky?" Obviously a sarcastic way of saying, "it didn't get there by itself, someone put it there." So the shoes obviously fell from the bridge and Stanley knows this because Zero refers to the bridge later in the movie.
Stupidity: Even though Hermione reminds them that they must not be seen after freeing Buckbeak, they fly toward the castle, whooping and cheering because they're flying. Then, they land in the courtyard of the castle, have a conversation, and then Sirius flies off with Buckbeak. Not the behavior of trying to remain unseen and unheard.
Stupidity: Stitch wakes up in a kennel with dogs at the animal shelter. When Lilo picks him out and they walk out of the kennel, the lady freaks out and tells Nani, "We thought it was dead, it was hit by a truck!" So, what was thought to be a dead dog was put into a kennel with other living dogs. Think about that for a second.
