On-screen couples with zero chemistry -

Isn't it beautiful when couples just seem to be made for each other? We love a good romance, and some actors just seem to spark something magical when they're together. Some on-screen couples just have great chemistry and there's no way to deny it. But the opposite is also true.

Many on-screen couples lack this chemistry to the point where it can be uncomfortable to watch. We've talked about the on-screen couples with great chemistry before, so now it's time to list the ones who have none, and almost painfully so.

Click through the gallery and see if you find your perfectly imperfect on-screen couple.

Barney Stinson and Robin Scherbatsky -

Played by Neil Patrick Harris and Cobie Smulders, this is likely the couple with the least chemistry in 'How I Met Your Mother.'

Bella Swan and Edward Cullen -

Our favorite teen vampires in the 'Twilight' saga, Bella and Edward were played by Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. Even though they dated in real life, they still couldn't muster any chemistry on the big screen!

Lady Sarah Ashley and Drover -

Australian actors Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman aren't the dream couple we'd like them to be in 'Australia' (2008).

Anastasia "Ana" Steele and Christian Grey -

What was supposed to be a steamy relationship between the characters played by Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan in the 'Fifty Shades' franchise, turned out to be cheesy and even silly at times.

Johnny and Lisa -

Tommy Wiseau and Juliette Danielle play this odd couple in cult classic 'The Room' (2003). The awkwardness of their performances is a major part of what makes the movies so awfully enjoyable.

Belle and Beast -

'Beauty and the Beast' (2017) is a beautiful story, but less beautiful is the on-screen chemistry between Emma Watson and Dan Stevens.

Josh and Cornelia Srebnick -

Ben Stiller has had many love interests in movies, but it's safe to say that Naomi Watts in 'While We're Young' (2014) was the least believable match.

Abigail "Abby" Richter and Mike Chadway -

Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler wouldn't make a great couple. Just watch 'The Ugly Truth' (2009) if you don't believe us.

Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark -

Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson make an odd couple in 'The Hunger Games' (2012). Some say they look more like siblings than lovers.

Andrea "Andy" Sachs and Nate Cooper -

Anne Hathaway and Adrian Grenier play this couple in 'The Devil Wears Prada' (2006), but it's a couple that viewers aren't rooting for.

Bruce Wayne/Batman and Rachel Dawes -

Katie Holmes and Christian Bale are yet another on-screen couple who don't seem to belong together. They co-star in 'Batman Begins' (2005).

Longfellow Deeds and Babe Bennett -

Winona Ryder comes next as one of Adam Sandler's most uncomfortable leading ladies, for her role in 'Mr. Deeds' (2002).

Kate and Brad -

What an odd couple Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn make in 'Four Christmases' (2008). The actors reportedly didn't get along very well either.

Superman and Lois Lane -

Henry Cavill and Amy Adams are miles away from Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder when it comes to on-screen chemistry, and that shows in both 'Man of Steel' (2013) and 'Justice League' (2017).

David Aames and Julianna "Julie" Gianni -

Although things got better in 'Knight and Day' (2010), Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz had very little chemistry in 'Vanilla Sky' (2001).

Seth and Jules -

Things turned out fine between Jonah Hill and Emma Stone in 'Maniac' (2018), but we can't say the same about their romance in 'Superbad' (2007).

Sabrina Peterson and Peter Brackett -

Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte play this couple in 'I Love Trouble' (1994). Apparently, the actors didn't really get along in real life, and that tension comes through in their performance.

Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan -

Carey Mulligan and Leonardo DiCaprio looked cute in 'The Great Gatsby' (2013), but she's no Kate Winslet.

Dave and Ronnie -

Vince Vaughn and Malin Akerman played a troubled couple in 'Couples Retreat' (2009), so the lack of chemistry was probably intentional for the roles.

Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala -

The couple played by Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen in 'Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones' (2002) is like a pair of mismatched socks.

Elise Clifton-Ward and Alexander Pearce/Frank Tupelo -

In 2010 we saw Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp co-starring in 'The Tourist.' The unlikely "Deppelina" on-screen couple just weren't really into each other in real life, and we could see that in their lack of chemistry in the movie.

Benjamin Button and Daisy Fuller -

Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett play this couple in 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' (2008). The whole romance has been called plain awkward.

Sarah Lewis and Ben Holmes -

Name one actress who has good chemistry with Ben Affleck. Sandra Bullock is probably not the one you're thinking about. They co-starred in 'Forces of Nature' (1999).

Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley -

Daniel Radcliffe and Bonnie Wright first get together as a couple in 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' (2009). Only a magic spell would put some chemistry between these two.

Hal Larson and Rosemary "Rosie" Shanahan -

There's just something off about Jack Black and Gwyneth Paltrow's characters in 'Shallow Hal' (2000).

© NL Beeld

Lenny Feder and Roxanne Chase-Feder -

Of all of Adam Sandler's love interests in his rom-coms, Salma Hayek is among the worst. They just don't work well as a couple in 'Grown-Ups' (2010) and 'Grown Ups 2' (2013).
