  (#1) Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon

  In the movie How Do You Know, Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon meet at a time when both are dealing with great disappointment. Neither character has much success in love, and their relationships with their significant others feels uncomfortably dormant. In the end, Rudd and Witherspoon hit it off, and it's implied they end up together. 

  While How Do You Know ended up being the duo's last romantic foray, both went on to star in the 2009 animated movie, Monsters vs. Aliens. Additionally, the pair got their start as an on-screen couple in the late-'90s film, Overnight Delivery.

  (#2) The Wedding Singer

  • Drew Barrymore, Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi, William Michael Albert Broad, Christine Taylor, Jon Lovitz, Kevin Nealon, Brian Posehn, Shanna Moakler, Robert Smigel, Alexis Arquette, Angela Featherstone, Ellen Dow, Frank Sivero, Steven Brill, Peter Dante, Christina Pickles, Allen Covert, Richard Dunn, Carmen Filpi, Tim Herlihy, Dan Lemieux, Maree Cheatham, Matthew Glave, Angela Paton, Michael Shuman, Mark Lonow, Andrew Shaifer, Jenna Byrne, Earl Carroll, Jodi Thelen, Mark Beltzman, Gemini Barnett, Teddy Castellucci, Zachary David Cope, Patrick McTavish, Chauntal Lewis, Priscilla Cory, Joshua Oppenheimer, Jason Cottle, Jon Rosenberg, Jimmy Karz, Todd Hurst, Phyllis Alia, Christopher Alan, Billy Elmer, Sid Newman, Al Hopson, Al Burke, Gabe Veltri, Robert Hackl, Jack Nisbet, Mike Thompson, John Vana, Paul Thiele, Kimberly Schwartz, Sanetta Y. Gipson, John Sawoski, Sally Pierce, Jackie R. Challet, Marnie Schneider, David Sean Robinson, Matthew Kimble, Randy Razz, Michael Jay

  In 1998, Adam Sandler joined forces with Drew Barrymore in The Wedding Singer. The two clicked on-screen, which prompted them to team up again for the 2004 film, 50 First Dates. Their second cinematic outing caught the attention of both hopeless romantics and Sandler fans, in part due to its equal balance of sweetness and ridiculousness. 

  After a decade apart, the duo did it again in 2014 when they starred in the film Blended, in which two families come together. Once again, Sandler's buffoonery combines with Barrymore's charm for a film that blends affectionate, romantic comedy with slapstick absurdity.

  (#3) Jamie Lee Curtis And Dan Aykroyd

  In 1983, Jamie Lee Curtis and Dan Aykroyd joined forces in the comedy Trading Places. The actors met again in the 1991 film My Girl and its 1994 sequel. In the first film, Aykroyd's character develops a crush on Curtis's character, and in the follow-up, Aykroyd and Curtis are married and expecting a child.

  The pair's love story is secondary to the main plot of the films, but is nonetheless an important and memorable component of the narrative. While Aykroyd and Curtis never starred in another film as a couple, the two teamed up again in the 2004 Christmas favorite, Christmas with the Kranks. In that film, Aykroyd plays Curtis's neighbor, and saves the day by helping Curtis prepare a Christmas party at the last minute.

  Anyone who had a pulse during the '90s remembers Joey Lauren Adams. One of her first notable appearances came when she played Simone in the cult-classic Dazed and Confused. In the film, her unique look and rad personality is matched only by her co-star, the paddle-wielding, Ben Affleck.

  In 1997, Kevin Smith cast the two in his alt '90s love story, Chasing Amy. Adams and Affleck play Alyssa and Holden, two comic book artists who come together for a brief, star-crossed romance.

  Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper show unprecedented range in their portrayal of the honest but struggling lovers Pat and Tiffany in Silver Linings Playbook. Despite a few moments of genuine tension, the film can still be considered a romantic comedy, as Lawrence and Cooper's characters display a realistically wide range of emotions. 

  The two paired up again for the 2013 film American Hustle, before going on to co-star in the 2014 film Serena and the 2015 film Joy. While the duo's continual pairing may be somewhat accidental, they nonetheless come off as an on-screen power couple.

  In 2003, Ewan McGregor and Renée Zellweger starred in the rom-com Down with Love, a film about a New York writer who authors a book that instructs women to break free from romantic convention. 

  Of course, the book was written with McGregor's character in mind. However, despite McGregor's playboy mentality and Zellweger's aversion to romantic love, the two eventually hit it off. The actors meet up again in the 2006 movie, Miss Potter, wherein Zellweger realizes too late that she is in love with McGregor.

  Almost everyone remembers the 2003 romantic comedy How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. In the film, Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson play career-focused romantics; Hudson's character is writing an article that details ways to quickly lose a guy, and McConaughey's character is on the hunt to prove that he can make any woman fall in love with him.

  In the 2008 film Fool's Gold, the duo reunites. This time, the story follows a recently divorced couple who rekindle their relationship while searching for buried treasure. While Fool's Gold didn't get the same warm reception that How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days received, the movie still exemplifies McConaughey's hapless charm butting heads with Hudson's reserved grace.
