Some couples in movies and shows have so much of a spark, you forget they’re actors playing a part and believe them as real-life lovebirds. But other on-screen romances are much harder to buy into because there’s no passion.
BuzzFeed readers are calling out the on-screen couples that don’t seem to have any chemistry at all.
- "Honestly? Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney in ‘Anyone But You.’ I watched it, expecting to see this crackling spark, the modern rom-com being saved, and all the other things people claimed about this film, and I just got nothing. I don't get it."
- "I recently went on a date with my fiancé to see ‘The Materialists.’ Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans had more chemistry with each other than Dakota Johnson had with either of them."
- "Carrie and Aidan in the new ‘Sex and the City’ series, ‘And Just Like That.’ She never had the chemistry with Aidan that she did with Big, but in this series, it looks like he literally gives her the ick."
- "I love this show, but Jake and Amy in ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine.’ The writing was sweet, and they were always warm and comfortable with each other, but there didn't seem to be a single ounce of passion between them shown in the entire time that show ran."
- "Leonard and Penny in ‘The Big Bang Theory.’ It was honestly painful to watch them."
- "Chandler and Monica. While I think their coupledom made sense for the plot of the show, they had absolutely none of the tension or passion that makes for good onscreen chemistry."
- "Amber Heard and Jason Momoa in ‘Aquaman.’ I think they both looked great for their parts, but their screen time together felt reallllly forced."
- "Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson in ‘Babygirl.’ It was just so not sexy. The scenes where they were kissing looked so unnatural, it made me cringe."
- "’Fifty Shades of Grey,’ Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson. Not only was the movie adaptation horrible, but they also lacked serious chemistry, which made it all worse."
- "Rachel and Joey. Why you gotta do that to my man!?"
- "Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock in ‘Forces of Nature!’ Love them individually. Together, they were like nails on a chalkboard!"
