Here are some I posted in the last incarnation of this thread, and which no one correctly guessed.

With the help of a girl who secretly has a crush on him, a loser transforms into the world's best volleyball player.

A young man is promised he will never see the sun, again, after damaging his grandfather's car.

A man's parentage is called into question when we notice he shares traits with a brilliant, but crazy, academic.
^^ Someone actually did guess this, but in a peripheral manner: "I would say X, but that can't be it."

An agreement to behave in a depraved manner becomes a point of contention in a co-dependent, alcoholic relationship.

drat. I feel like you should get at least partial credit for this one, but that's not the movie I have in mind.

Let me go ahead and give a hint: This is a black and white classic.

Unless this is a very clever trick, those are Rush Hours 1-3, and those descriptions are not particularly abstract.
