Who on Earth thought hooking you two up was a good idea?

Valentines, it seems, is the perfect time to say "hey, we hate this movie romance!"

10 Most Mismatched Movie Couples

I am willing to handwave Christensen and Portman because that was some truly atrocious dialogue they were forced to spout in Episode II, at which point there was still the aftermath of that slightly-uncomfortable feeling from those scenes in Episode I.  Episode III was much better for them.

Beyond that:  I have seen and not cared for 2 others, and the rest either didn't interest me...or I didn't know about and I wish that hadn't changed(Norbit is very recent...perhaps I managed to scrub my brain of it.)  But really, why aren't A Knight's Tale and Pearl Harbor up there?  Shannyn Sossamon and Ben Affleck respectively ruined those movies for me,  especially Affleck.

The hell? The historic lady was at least more sensible in ordering the knight fighting for her honour to win every time. Ordering him to lose would make them both look bad. Why the hell did he bother?

Because she was pretty. There was never any indicatiom that he loved her for any reason but that she was pretty. And she loved him because he was a knight and kept him because he was cute.

Really, such a deep, convincing love story...

Given that the idea of marrying someone you actually had feelings for in that era wasn't that common, at least among the upper classes, I guess it's not unbelievable. Just unromantic.

Except that it was supposed to be a romantic "us against the world" love story...and it was rather pathetic and shallow.

At least it wasn't the entirety of the movie . . . *sigh*
