So let's say your protagonist has a major, life-threatening problem. The clock is ticking, like, seriously, if she doesn't solve the problem, she's gonna DIE in a couple days.
Protagonist has a friend who is extremely well-versed in the area in which her problem lies. He knows how to solve her problem. But rather than doing anything along the lines of telling her what the solution would be, he instead makes a whole bunch of other irrelevant and far more complicated suggestions, which she follows to the letter, that serve absolutely no purpose, put her in jeopardy, waste an immense amount of time, and bring her not one step closer to solving her problem. And the reason he eventually gives for waiting so long makes absolutely no sense.
Basically, you just wrote a seriously crappy script that should never have been put before cameras, much less gotten any sort of theatrical release.
Congratulations!
