The one I hate is "Based on a true story" or "Based on true events" - apart from the subjectivity of what makes something 'true' - this is just licence for Hollywood to screw around with history:
Braveheart
The Patriot
U-571
Pearl Harbour
Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace
The Last Samurai
to name but a few lousy films, based on someone's interpretation of truth.
