Film’s Most Awkward Couples

People have written infinite pages about the chemistry between movie couples like Stanley and Stella Kowalski (Marlon Brando and Kim Hunter) in A Streetcar Named Desire or Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler (Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh) in Gone with the Wind. While we can’t deny the magic those iconic romances have lent to the silver screen, some of our favorite couples in film are the awkward pairings that don’t quite fit. Many of these twosomes are a complete casting mismatch, but each one has the added burden of overcoming some unfortunate and uncomfortable narrative situations. See what flawed film couples we sent a Valentine to after the break. Feel free to add your own favorites in the comments.

Jack and Rose were not awkward
ms_mmelissa 6th-Feb-2013 01:04 am (UTC)


I only watched this shitfest for Henry Cavill and he was barely in it.

Also any movie where there are huge unexplained age differences between the couple creep me out.

blrocks 6th-Feb-2013 01:06 am (UTC)
OMFG. I tried to watch this but I couldn't, it was too damn creepy.
ms_mmelissa 6th-Feb-2013 01:07 am (UTC)
I had to fast forward most of it. It was so awful. SO AWFUL!
mastahofunnines 6th-Feb-2013 01:38 am (UTC)

violue 6th-Feb-2013 01:12 am (UTC)
especially their first sex scene oh god
vehiclesshockme 6th-Feb-2013 01:28 am (UTC)
I'm sure she's a lovely person but she is such a fucking terrible actress. I cringe whenever I see her in something.
rachelbojangles 6th-Feb-2013 01:39 am (UTC)
ha after my parents watched this movie i go "what did you think" and my only says "I could have done without that sex scene on the blimp"
rimbaudacious 6th-Feb-2013 01:39 am (UTC)
Fuck this couple for forever tainting Hallelujah for me.
hemsworth 6th-Feb-2013 01:53 am (UTC)
ugh that sex scene was SO. FUCKING. UNCOMFORTABLE. i was like omg when is it going to end?
keyko101 6th-Feb-2013 03:31 am (UTC)
i had to watch that sex scene with my dad sitting right next to me.
stuckmodebabe 6th-Feb-2013 04:23 am (UTC)
I saw that in theaters with my mom and we were DYING with laughter at their sex scene.
twowaymirrrors 6th-Feb-2013 01:05 am (UTC)
hdu jack and rose are perfect
amore 6th-Feb-2013 01:07 am (UTC)
jack and rose? never
hola_meg_a_cola 6th-Feb-2013 01:08 am (UTC)
Tbf they totally destroyed Rachel's character by the time Maggie took over the role.

Nolan can't write women.
she_doesnt_care 6th-Feb-2013 07:14 am (UTC)
I was not upset when she died.
ms_mmelissa 6th-Feb-2013 01:09 am (UTC)
Also Q'orianka Kilcher was 14 in the New World and her love interests were Colin Farrell (28) and Christian Bale (30)

D:
wheresandrae 6th-Feb-2013 01:12 am (UTC)
true but its only creepy when I think back on it, not when watching the gorgeous beauty unfold on screen
bodyline 6th-Feb-2013 01:12 am (UTC)
She was Pocahontas, right? how old was Pocahontas supposed to be, because those ages don't surprise me tbh
thishollywood 6th-Feb-2013 01:21 am (UTC)
12 or 13 when she first met john smith and 18-19 when she married john rolfe. Had her son around the age 20 and died before the age of 23
hola_meg_a_cola 6th-Feb-2013 01:12 am (UTC)
Girlfriend was living the dream.

But at 14, that's nagl.
soul_amazinn 6th-Feb-2013 01:14 am (UTC)
omg i had no idea she was 14.
now i'm uncomfortable.
vehiclesshockme 6th-Feb-2013 01:29 am (UTC)
That's how it went down in real life though wasn't it?
rachelbojangles 6th-Feb-2013 01:40 am (UTC)
i really love that movie. its beautiful but i heard they couldn't kiss on the mouth or they limited it.
hearthecity 6th-Feb-2013 02:17 am (UTC)
I know but it worked sooo well somehow
lexy_ 6th-Feb-2013 03:22 am (UTC)
Aw, I loved Pocahontas/John Rolfe tho.
hypermuseic9 6th-Feb-2013 03:52 am (UTC)
omw whattttt
paarycia 6th-Feb-2013 06:37 am (UTC)
Iirc, she even said that the kiss with Colin was her first ever :0
stereoscopes 6th-Feb-2013 01:09 am (UTC)
I think Maggie did fine as Rachel, she did the best with the crap she was given, and actually came off as much more charming than Katie Holmes. It seems she gets a lot of crap from people because she's not typical-Hollywood beautiful but whatever, Rachel and Bruce was a big stale subplot romance. Nolan sucks at writing romantic relationships.
lucciolaa 6th-Feb-2013 01:13 am (UTC)
I liked Katie better than Maggie in the role, I think. But I think that's just because I stopped liking Rachel in TDK.
yurasama_love 6th-Feb-2013 02:26 am (UTC)
I preferred her to Katie, and by TDK, she's not into Bruce anymore.
hola_meg_a_cola 6th-Feb-2013 07:56 am (UTC)
mfe, there wasn't much Maggie could do.
guccipostagurl 6th-Feb-2013 01:10 am (UTC)
Rachel Dawes and Bruce Wayne: THE WORST.

Jeremy Sisto as Jack Dawson? WAT.
winter_lace 6th-Feb-2013 01:37 am (UTC)
A video exists.
licorrice 6th-Feb-2013 01:11 am (UTC)
Johnny + angelina jolie.

blrocks 6th-Feb-2013 01:12 am (UTC)
Ew @ this fucking movie.
eaglefan2011 6th-Feb-2013 01:15 am (UTC)
ia, i was so excited about that and then they turn out to have no chemistry
fuk_q 6th-Feb-2013 01:19 am (UTC)
I was so looking forward to the pairing. Ugh, so disappointed.
lucciolaa 6th-Feb-2013 01:12 am (UTC)
