Wasn't there at least one movie, where that was not a good thing?

Seveneves by Neal Stephenson was a good book that goes into what happens when things change between the Earth and Moon.

There was. I think it was titled "Moonfall", or maybe "Another Earth". There is also "Oblivion" in which the Moon was partially destroyed. There are probably other ones, too, but I think "Moonfall" is the one to which you are referring. I might just give it a watch in a bit!

But yeah, it would not be a good thing, according to the movie at least.

In "Bruce Almighty" Jim Carrey uses his God powers to move the moon closer to create a more romantic view for his date. If my memory serves correct, the next day we hear briefly on the news about terrible freak flooding over the world.

Try seveneves for an even worse outcome

Counterpoint: in Despicable Me the moon was shrunk and brought down to Earth with almost zero consequences... so maybe it would be just fine!

Haha, indisputable counterpoint! :D
