Case in point – Andy Tennant's, a film so haplessly overlong and predictable, it demands we pay more attention to the comedic chemistry of the two leads. If there's a weak link in the chain, well.

But, when it comes to romantic comedies, your film is only as good as the two leads. It's a sure-fire way to attract women to their fanbase, and thus, their own future action pictures (where they'll inevitably be shirtless). Now, I can see why producers and agents push up-and-coming stars toward romantic variations.

In fact, these stars tend to get roped into not one, but often two or three romance films in a row. Stars like Matthew McConaughey, Orlando Bloom, Josh Lucas, James Marsden, and Sam Worthington have all fallen prey. There seems to be an annoying trend growing in Hollywood in which action stars follow-up their breakout films with romantic comedies/dramas.
