Jon favreau and anybody, but definitely not Jamie king, Sofia vergara or scarlet Johansson.
Pretty much every movie these days. The one that got to me was the tom hanks Bridge of Spies one. His wife was at least 20 years younger than him and it was distracting.
Also any movie with Kevin Costner, or Woody Allen until about 5 years ago.

Wow you are mean. I think they are a realistic looking couple. Also, Ina's face emanates joy, she always looks so happy. Really, she looks like someone I would like to know in real life.
NP. I thought that PP who posted the picture was referring (tongue in cheek?) to the fact that Jeffrey is so obviously gay. I thought it was funny.
What part of calling her fat and disgusting is funny? I don't even like her and that's not funny or called for.

As far as Sex and the City, Big DID date and marry a younger woman (who was beautiful and a socialite), and it didn't work out. I think that is part of his character development. People are also discounting that in the show, Carrie had fame of her own and was a fashion icon. So it wasn't like Big married some unknown frumpy woman. He still stayed within his circle, so to say.
I actually think the more unrealistic story line was Samantha and Smith Jared. Although I think their early relationship was realistic, I don't think IRL they would have stayed together. I saw them kind of like Demi Moore/Ashton Kutcher. A more realistic story line would have been that Smith Jared moved on when he got more famous (even though that kind of depresses me admitting that).
I actually thought that Sex and the City did address a lot of the unpleasantries of dating and pairing up and the unfortunate realities of it all. Where that show went wrong was in the ending. It was like they tried to hard to make all of the stories end nicely. It would have been far more realistic if at least one of the four women actually remained single (and that it was *okay* to be single, not tragic but normal).
As for unrealistic TV pairings, I actually think that it's not so much mismatched looks (unattractive with attractive) that makes sitcoms and TV romance so unrealistic, but rather, it's the way things all work out and all ends get tied up.
But that's in part because it's what people want to see. Writers don't write shows to be realistic. They write them to get viewers to watch the show. Most people want to see the two characters get together at the end, et cetera, et cetera.

They were both anxious, self absorbed and unfunny and I have no idea who could have watched/enjoyed this show. Unrealistic because there COULD NOT be a couple this annoying and also they were always fussing w each other-no love was apparent. Why r u together?
But then I review the relationship board and realize there must be many couples like this and that is who was watching.... people who think it is normal to go through life w a sourpuss frown always nagging each other.
Also that parent couple from the 70s show w the hawt mum and furry headed short stout dad is so real because gene Simmons and Shannon tweed.
