8. Anna And Declan

The 2010 film, Leap Year, revolved around the time-honored Irish tradition where a woman proposes to the man on a leap day and supposedly the man must accept. Ann is played by Amy Adams and Declan is portrayed by Matthew William Goode. Although Anna is trying to get to Dublin in order to propose to her long-time boyfriend, Jeremy, a romance is sparked between her and Declan during their arduous journey to Dublin. He is meant to get her there while retaining compensation (which he needs in order to save his bar) but a series of catastrophic events turns it into a trip where he doesn’t even have a car to get her there. In the film, these two wound up together and ultimately married but it would have never worked out in real life. Their lives were so completely different and they hadn’t even spent any real time together that was meaningful, besides all of the talk of how badly she wanted to propose to Jeremy.

The cast in the 2002 film, The Good Girl, was a real mix of different actors and actresses but, somehow, it seemed to work. Jake Gyllenhaal may not have looked like the typical heartthrob character but he pulled off the anxiety-ridden young lover to a tee and even the side characters played by Zooey Deschanel and Deborah Rush seemed to bring the whole story together. Yet, the real drama in the film revolved around the husband and wife characters played by Jennifer Aniston and John C. Reilly. While the couple made it last in the film, there’s no way that these two would have been able to stand the test of time in real life. Anniston’s character was completely checked out of their marriage and didn’t think twice about sleeping with other men, including her husband’s best friend. Her cheating ways would have ultimately caught up with her or she would have had another dalliance and left.
