Chemistry Gone Terribly Awry

[JennyC]

Amen, sistah on all of the above.  What *is* it with Ben Affleck, that he has about the chemistry of an amoeba?

Yeah, what's with Ben Affleck?  Can't think of any movie that he had good chemistry with the actress.  He was pretty good with Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting though.

True, that.  Hmmmmm...  He had pretty good chemistry with Jason Lee (and ZERO with Joey Lauren Adams) in Chasing Amy, too.  The plot thickens...

Well, he's been in two movies with his now-wife and both times had the chemistry of a dead fish. Fair enough, in Pearl Harbour they had no scenes together but he and Jennifer together in Daredevil..  *YAWN*

I haven't seen most of the movies you mention, except "Eyes Wide Shut" and I agree there was no chemistry between the 2 leads (were they in the course of their divorce then?). But I'd vote for Tom Cruise & anyone. Cruise is one of the worst actors the earth has ever spun, to get THAT famous!

Uhh, for a lack of chemistry, can I please cite the entire cast of "Memoirs of a Geisha"?

Absolutely.  I found that to be a very superficially beautiful film.  And nothing more.

Interesting that the reallife couples are getting slated here...

Chris..OMG I can't beleiev you don't know this!!! CLASS film! (maybe cos its a British rom com?)

1. Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowall in "Four Weddings and a Funeral" (loved his chemistry with Kristin Scott Thomas, though) 
I don't remember that one so thats obviously not a good sign...

as to other bad couples.. meh can't think right now.. will come back to you on that one!

people noted Notting Hill as a kinda sequal to this as it basically had almost the same cast...with a few exceptions obviously *insert your lovely Julia where Andie was*

[Sheyne]

Gosh, Kelda, you got it in ONE!

Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral are the exact same movie, except where you had a glamorous American style editor, you have a glamorous American actress!  Everybody else is there:

The kooky redhead;
The straight-laced brunette woman;
The wacky, down-on-his-luck bloke;
The straight guy to inject reason and sense
The comic relief guy
Hugh Grant in almost exactly the same role; one was Charlies, the other was William.

... and then the drop-dead gorgeous brunette American woman who steals Hugh's heart.  Dang it if I don't love both films anyway...
