The worst romantic comedy pairings of all time

I want to preface this by saying that casting Hugh Jackman in Kate & Leopold wasn't the problem here. The decision to cast Meg Ryan to play opposite Jackman is what baffles me. Don't get me wrong. She is a wonderful actress. It's just that this particular pairing doesn't quite make sense to me.

While I realize that Anne Hathaway's and Chris Pratt's characters are not the main focus of Bride Wars, I still hate everything about it. Their incompatibility makes sense, I suppose, given the film's ending, but I think they still could've gone with someone else.

Blame it on the script or Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew McConaughey's lack of chemistry, but Failure to Launch wasn't it. We can all agree that these actors are a delight to watch individually, but together, it just didn't translate. As difficult as it is to imagine McConaughey, the god of 2000s rom-coms, not vibing with any leading lady, this film sure found a way.

Serving Sara is bad, but I’m hesitant to rip into it considering what Matthew Perry was going through at the time. That said, with a subpar script and a lack of chemistry between Perry and Elizabeth Hurley, there wasn't much that could save this film.

Of all the terrible romantic comedy pairings, Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen in Knocked Up are not the worst, given the film's success. However, I think if Heigl had played the character more to her liking (as she had previously expressed her distaste for how women were portrayed in the movie), it would have made it easier to root for her and Rogen's characters to be together.

Do I even need to explain? American Idol's season one winner, Kelly Clarkson, wanted no part of this, and we don't blame her. Unfortunately, she and runner-up Justin Guarini were contractually obligated to do this film together because, I guess, the show's creator hated them. Thankfully, this fever dream of a movie was only a one-time thing.

Let's be honest. Good Luck Chuck was as good as any Dane Cook movie possibly can be; it'll make you laugh every now and then, but at the end of the day, it's just not very memorable. The script was meh at best, and the chemistry between Cook and Jessica Alba wasn't there.

You had to know Ben and Jen were going to make the list. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez couldn't make it work on screen in Gigli or off-screen, no matter how many times they may try. It's no surprise the film won numerous Golden Raspberry Awards, including "Worst Screen Couple."

I'm not sure whether or not this was a poor rom-com pairing or if All About Steve was just that bad of a script. Regardless, neither Sandra Bullock nor Bradley Cooper could save the film, further validating their Razzie Award win for "Worst Screen Couple" that year.

I didn't necessarily think Your Place or Mine would be the best rom-com I've ever seen, but as a fan of Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher, I certainly had higher hopes for them. The actors' real-life friendship definitely comes across on screen, but when it comes to a romantic connection, their characters should have stayed just friends.

I don't hate The Bounty Hunter as much as other people seem to, but I agree that Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler do not make the best on-screen couple. Jen, you're perfect. Don't change a thing. Gerard Butler, on the other hand, has to go.

Although Maid in Manhattan is considered a classic comfort movie, the relationship between the characters, played by esteemed dramatic actor Ralph Fiennes and singer Jennifer Lopez, is not all that believable. That said, I will still be watching it when in need of a pick-me-up.

I don't even need to see Mr. Wrong to know just how wrong Ellen DeGeneres and Bill Pullman are together. The fact that this movie even exists is unbelievable and feels like something out of an alternate universe.

The only believable thing about Hugh Grant's and Sarah Jessica Parker's characters in Did You Hear About the Morgans? is that they were getting a divorce. I'll never understand what brought these two together in the first place. While we love to see Hugh Grant in a rom-com, he and SJP just weren't a match.

Remakes are tricky, and casting Madonna in Swept Away was a risk that did not pay off. Her acting is so terrible that she won the Razzie for "Worst Actress" as well as "Worst Supporting Actress" for another film that same year. The idea of these characters getting together made no sense at all, and the film has more than enough Razzies to prove it, including "Worst Screen Couple."

I thought I had seen it all, and then they went and made Owen Wilson the love interest in a Jennifer Lopez movie. While J. Lo isn't my favorite, I believe she could've had better chemistry with someone who isn't Owen Wilson. He's a fantastic actor, but these two as a couple in Marry Me just didn't work.

I need to know whose idea it was to pair Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte in a romantic comedy action movie because there's no way Nancy Meyers pushed for that. Yes, I Love Trouble is a Nancy Meyers film. The only thing holding them together is the actors' painfully obvious disdain for one another.

The Bachelor is another remake that just didn't pan out. Not only did the story not make much sense, but Renée Zellweger and Chris O'Donnell weren't very convincing as a couple. Oh, and Mariah Carey was there for some reason.

I really wanted to like this movie but found it difficult to laugh through the many uncomfortable moments of You People. Jonah Hill and Lauren London might have actually been able to make it work had the storyline not revolved solely around making people cringe.

Sure, Nina Dobrev and Jimmy Yang in Love Hard are an unlikely pair, and it wouldn't necessarily be a problem if the two had chemistry, but that's not the worst part of this movie. I just have a hard time believing that any woman would actually end up falling for a man after catfishing her, even during the holidays.
