Unrealistic that he would get those girls

No way in the world this guy get both Bell and Kunis. Maybe one of them as an anomaly but two incredibly hot girls off the bat no chance.

Don't get me wrong in real life I'm sure segal does very well, being rich and famous. But come on his character isn't rich or famous in the movie how woul he land these girls?

Always makes the films too unrealistic for me.

Yeah, like in Chef. Didn't they have Jon Favreau getting Sofia Vergara and Scarlett Johannsen?

Sofia Vergara and Scarlett Johansson?

I haven't watched that movie, but that is just ridiculous.

Well, the character was rich.

But he was a chef, right? Or is he a restaurant owner?

[–] leader (1704) 6 months ago

Yeah but a chef in a high-scale restaurant, he made very good money.

But when I search for professional chef salary (How much does a 5 star chef earn in USA?), following is what I got:

Michelin Chef Salary
Annual Salary Monthly Pay
Top Earners $60,000 $5,000
75th Percentile $48,000 $4,000
Average $43,963 $3,663
25th Percentile $37,500 $3,125

Here is also this: https://www.salary.com/research/salary/hiring/hotel-executive-chef-salary

So that is middle class at best.

Mila Kunis is average? Now I know you're delusional....

[–] vicky_lc2001 (1907) 6 years ago

Kunis is in no way average, she's a Classic beauty.

[–] Xcalat3 (3705) 6 years ago

In what universe are these women average? Specially Mila Kunis.

When did RomComs ever show us the realistic take on dating? 

Be careful not to choke on your aspirations, Director.

Remember, Hollywood is disproportionately homosexual, so you have gay men writing about their own ultra promiscuous lives thinly veiled with heterosexual characters. The epitome of this phenomenon is Sex in the City.

No way in the world this guy get both Bell and Kunis.

It was totally realistic. The guy -- Peter, the protagonist (I forget the actor's name) -- was a successful musician composing the music for a hugely popular TV program. Unless you're a pop/rock star, you can't get anymore successful as a musician.

Secondly, Peter had a likeable, funny charisma and was tall, which women generally like.

Lastly, Kunis is decidedly average. Sure, she has a cute face, but she lacks essential curves.

It's a Judd Apatow production and a lot has changed since 2008. Jason Segal would have to be a "Chad" to get a Bell or Kunis. There's nothing believable about either relationship today. He'll Rom/Coms don't even exist today and if they did the movie would promote a couple that's mixed race.
