8 Rom-Com Couples That Are So Not Still Together
What happens after the sunset sets, the passionate kiss commences, and the credits roll? Not every romantic comedy couple lives happily ever after -- it's statistically impossible! And you have to admit that some pairs are just clearly not meant to be. Here are 8 rom-com couples who are definitely broken up by now.
Reuben and Polly, 'Along Came Polly'
They say opposites attract, but these two just do not fit for a long term sitch. Reuben looks uncomfortable every time he's in contact with Polly, and Polly doesn't even seem that into him. She's the free-spirited rebound he may have needed to get his groove back, but you usually don't stick with your incompatible rebound. Especially if they have a pet ferret. We're all for getting out of your comfort zone, but that's what hot yoga and sushi-making lessons are for.
Joy and Jack, 'What Happens In Vegas'
Drunken one night stand? Fine. A couple dates to see how things go? Maybe. Long, satisfying marriage? Probs not. This was supposed to be a hit-it-and-quit thing between two people blowing off steam who don't seem to like each other all that much. They're sort of in it for the money, and we don't see that three million taking them all that far in the happily-ever-after department.
Justin and Kelly, 'From Justin to Kelly'
Take "a moment like this" to realize that these two have no chemistry whatsoever. The only thing these spring breakers share are questionable hairstyles.
Aurelia and Jamie, 'Love Actually'
Longterm relationship? Pssh, these two didn't even make it on the plane back home. They knew nothing about each other and were clearly carried-away victims of lust and a exotic setting with a romance novel-esque meet-cute. Her great response to his marriage proposal is: "Thank you, That would be nice." That's worse than "alrighty."
Abby and Mike, 'The Ugly Truth'
He's a sexy chauvinist and she's the cute blonde TV producer who can't resist his rugged charms! This whole thing screams short-lived conquest to us and we're thinking their flirty hate-love wore off by the end of 2009.
Vivian and Edward, 'Pretty Woman'
We are so sorry to ruin all of your white horse fantasy-filled dreams, but there's no way Viv and Ed stood the test of time. He clearly wasn't ready for a real relationship and had a lot of emotional stuff to deal with, plus, he treated her like a hooker up until the day they decided to make it official. Don't try and tell me that taking her to the opera and buying her oodles of gowns meant everlasting love. Vivian deserved the fairy tale she always wanted, but once the excitement wore off she probably realized she was worth more than stuffy Edward.
Rachel and Dex, 'Something Borrowed'
Don't let Rachel's unassuming underdog attitude fool you -- she's a cheater and a bad friend. And Dex is just as guilty. These two got together under sneaky circumstances and their bad behavior is sure to come back to haunt them.
Kate and Leopold, 'Kate and Leopold'
He LIVES IN THE PAST. Literally. Eventual deal breaker right there.
