John Travolta and Joan Allen as husband and wife in "Face/Off". One of the top 5 worst pairing ever for me.

Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell in "Four Weddings".

Kate Beckinsale and Ben Affleck in "Pearl Harbor".

Simon Pegg and Thandie Newton in "Run Fatboy Run".

That was kind of the point of the movie though.

Lance Bass and Emmanuelle Chriqui in On the Line.

Considering how hot Emmanuelle Chriqui is, I was surprised I never got a real sense that Lance Bass was really into her.

Not in the last act when we're supposed to believe that she falls in love with him.

Yes, they were supposed to be opposites, but there should've been more there than just throwing in some montages, time for baby, and bam, there's together. Maybe build on the fact that they were more alike than not, but maybe just not when they were together. I dunno, that's really just nitpicking an otherwise solid comedy.

Those aren't exactly great examples. What about Moonstruck, Wild at Heart, Leaving Las Vegas?

Please tell me you're joking. Even if you hated the movie, like so many Elaine's do, these two had incredible chemistry.

The sad thing is Catherine Zeta Jones and George Clooney have awesome chemistry and would've been a better couple in the Ocean's films.
Yeah, they had awesome chemistry in Intolerable Cruelty.

Not big names by any means, but the drug-addict couple in Surveillance come to mind simply because the guy playing the part is so flamingly gay that there's no way anyone can believe he's into women.

Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes in Maid in Manhattan serious miscasting there but I guess it didn't matter because the movie wasn't that great anyways.
