But can we think of others that are almost as bad if not as bad or worse than the unnatural pairing of Anakin and Padme? Let's give it a try.

First up, I nominate Will Smith's agent Jay and Rosario Dawson's what's-her-name girl in Men In Black 2. That was not a very pleasant "romance" to sit through either.

Then there were the laughably bad "romances" of Daredevil and Elektra, in which Elektra is either supposed to be falling in love with Daredevil/Matt Murdock (in the former) or Mark Miller (in the latter). Neither one is convincing.

Anymore... oh yeah, the contrived romance of Halle Berry and Benjamin Bratt in Catwoman. And the not too believable love story of Keira Knightley's Guinevere and Clive Owen's Arthur in King Arthur.

Can you guys think of anymore?


Men in Black 2 stunk, and that supposed 5 minute fall in love "oh wait but i have to go because i'm the chosen one" story was aweful. But the "love story in MIB 2 is just slightly less annoying than Frank the Dog in this one. That movie just plain crapped on the original.
