No Chemistry Between Rachel McAdams and Owen Wilson


I've only just started watching this movie and is it just me or is there ZERO chemistry between these two actors? I think she had better chemistry with the guy in the movie Red Eye!

I assume u have now finished the movie since this was originally posted in 2007 but it's not a love story between them so the chemistry (or lack there of) is intentional and hilarious. Hell even her parents are *beep* republican jerk offs.

The two leads have no chemistry and are just bumbling through the movie. The supporting cast is excellent but the leads are ridiculously bad.

There wasn't SUPPOSED TO BE ANY CHEMISTRY!!!!!

Maybe because he's ugly and she's not (really).

I think that was part of -it-, that they weren't right for each other.
Happens in real life all the time... 😔

Well, that's the whole idea!

I hated her character and I'd like to punch her mom right in the face. But I think that is the way Woody wanted us to feel towards them.
