What Movie Couple Had No Chemistry, In Your Opinion?

Not all movie couples are created equally. Some have undeniable passion and chemistry that jumps off the screen, while others fall a little flat. They are actors, after all, so sometimes it's hard to really sell that spark between characters when the real-life feelings aren't there.

Maybe you grew up loving the Harry Potter books and movies, but you couldn't help but feel that Harry and Ginny, as a couple on-screen, had no chemistry whatsoever. Their bond seemed more familial than romantic, and though you wanted to root for them as a pair, you weren't sold on their love story.

Perhaps you're not feeling much of a spark between Paul and Chani in the Dune movies. You love Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya as actors, but you're not buying their connection in the films for some reason.

Or, perhaps you love rom-coms but have never been able to sit through The Proposal because you don't see an ounce of chemistry between Margaret (Sandra Bullock) and Andrew (Ryan Reynolds), and you find it hard to pull for them. You think they're really stiff when they're supposed to be falling for one another, and it's not your cup of tea.
