Brad & Angelina Among Honorees on Fandango's Top 10 Best and Worst Screen Couples Lists
Moviegoers Select Sexiest and Most Mismatched Screen Pairings for Valentine's Day Weekend
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- In a February survey on Fandango, moviegoers chose Ryan Gosling & Rachel McAdams (THE NOTEBOOK), and Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie (Mr. & Mrs. Smith.) as the top two sexiest screen couples in recent film history.
Pitt appears twice on the sexiest screen couple list, also picked for his star-making tryst with Geena Davis in THELMA & LOUISE.
On the worst couples list, Jessica Alba and Mike Myers (THE LOVE GURU) were (dis)honored by moviegoers as the biggest mismatch in contemporary cinema.
More than 2,000 film fans took the survey, which asked moviegoers to vote for their favorite and least favorite screen couples of the last 25 years. The survey was posted on Fandango.com in the first week of February, and respondents were asked to choose only one couple per category.
"The sexiest couples create electricity that leaps off the screen," says Fandango editor Chuck Walton, "but some of these classic mismatches just make viewers want to leap out of the theater."
