10 Awful Movie Couples Who Have No Chemistry

2. Johnny Depp & Angelina Jolie - The Tourist

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrqpKEOF8uw Here's one that just doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever; you take two of the most physically attractive actors on the planet, put them in one of the most beautiful locations in the world (Vienna), and what's more, you've got the director of an Oscar-winning foreign film at the helm - what can possibly go wrong? Though the limp script doesn't really help things, the truly startling thing about The Tourist is that it proves you can't just throw together people you think will have explosive sexual chemistry on screen - you need to screen test them first! Depp plays a grungy character much like himself, while Jolie is the epitome of class; like so many other films on this list, it fails to reconcile their differences and explain why they would fall for each other. Plus, the love scenes - probably the main appeal for many viewers - are among some of the most sterile and dull you could possibly imagine. It's staggering proof of how a project with even the most potential can crash and burn without due care.
