[/QUOTE] For me, this pair has the same problem as DiCaprio and Winslet in Titanic: it’s hard for me to suspend disbelief when the female “half” of a romantic couple is actually the female “2/3 by weight.” I’m not saying it can’t be overcome, and I know it’s a total prejudice on my part, but any such (film/TV) couple already has a strike against them in my book. ---

[/QUOTE] Well, the same goes for those couples with the big slobby guys and the hot skinny chicks, like _King of Queens_, _According to Jim_, and _The Flintstones_. ---

In recent memory, the romantic chemistry between Nicolas Cage and Jessica Biel in _Next_ was quite horrible. ---

The family in “The Incredibles”. I saw it four times in theaters, and I think it was because I was feeling like my own family unit at the time was a bit lacking at the time. It was cool to see a family, even if it was fictional and animated, looking out for each other and working together to resolve their issues. My own family is a lot closer now, but The Incredibles still remaines a favorite movie. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/best-and-worst-onscreen-chemistry/407694.md?page=9)
