Slate readers vote for all-time cinematic odd couples. And the winner is Woody at 50-something and beyond canoodling with his young and gorgeous co-stars. David Edelstein sums up:
Back when [Allen] had a sense of humor, he made that disconnect with attractive women a source of laughs (and intentional squirms). But by his later movies, his celebrity had fogged his brain. He just acted entitled.
J-Lo's cinematic couplings come in for their share of derision, as well. And the discussion of shouldn't-work-but-do pairings is also good.
"The very thought of Antonio Banderas (hot, sexy, hot, um, hot) and Tom Hanks (um, not hot) as a couple in Philadelphia made my head hurt. Turns out they were a really cute couple."
—Gillian Pilgrim
