10 Romantic Lead Characters Who Were Actually Major Douches
There's a surprising number of movies where the person that we're supposed to root for ends up actually being a grade A d-bag. The filmmakers are thinking that you're going to swoon and sigh, but if you actually give it any thought, you end up coming to the conclusion that this jerk has no business getting the girl/job/life that he wants. In a lot of cases, they've done something so horrible or obnoxious during the film that it's hard for the audiences to forgive them enough to make the ending, where everything comes together for them wrapped in a neat little bow, at all satisfying. It makes it difficult to sympathize with or appreciate their co-star, who is clearly a moron for putting up with this terrible human being. We've all met that person in real life, right? The one we meet and we're like, "How does this guy have friends?" Well, this is the Hollywood version, so he's all that plus handsome with a nice car. By the way, I'm apologizing beforehand for the potential feminist rant that will most likely ensue. Warning you ahead of time.
