10+ Rom-Com Characters Who Were Meant To Be Great But Actually Suck

You probably won't be hard pressed to find some terrible people hiding in romantic comedies, they often have to be a little terrible to get into a rom-com situation in the first place.

Nate

20th Century Fox

This boyfriend from The Devil Wears Prada was totally unsupportive of his girlfriend. He was constantly criticizing Andy and talking about how she was changing for the worse. What a d-bag.

Noah

New Line Cinema

Alright! Everyone relax! Put down your pitchforks!

I just want to talk about the fact that Noah from The Notebook threatens to kill himself to get Ally to go out with him... Honestly, kind of a jerk move.

Jessica

Warner Bros.

Yeah so, uh, are we going to ignore the fact that Jessica from Crazy, Stupid, Love sent nude photos of herself to a 13-year-old? I know that I'm not, I'm bringing it up right now.

Melanie

Buena Vista Pictures

So not only does Melanie from Sweet Home Alabama leave behind her fiancee (who, by the way is literally McDreamy) but she outs her friend in front of a bar full of Alabamians.

Dean

MGM

This guy from Overboard really sucks. He takes advantage of a woman's head injury, makes her believe she is married to him and forces her to take care of his kids all because she was kinda mean to him.

Alice

Open Road Films

Alice from Home Again starts off nice, letting some aspiring filmmakers stay in her guest house. But then she starts a relationship with Harry and things start to go downhill.

Alice (CONT)

Open Road Films

She absolutely loses it when Harry misses a dinner between her and her friends. Usually that's fine, but it was for a meeting that could completely change Harry's career! Cut him some slack, Alice!

Julianne

TriStar Pictures

The main character from My Best Friends Wedding had every opportunity in the world to tell Dermot Mulroney she loved him... and instead she just did all this immature "break them up" crap. Real nice.

Noah (Different Noah)

Netflix

If you haven't seen this Netflix gem, probably keep it that way. Noah is one of those "Nice Guys" who thinks they deserve the girl despite never making any moves on her.

Noah (CONT)

Netflix

Sorry for continuing, but I have more to say about this weirdo.

So even after she communicates she thinks of him as a friend, he uses a time machine to try to convince her to love him. Ech.

Daniel

20th Century Fox

Yeah that's right, I said it. And if Robin Williams wasn't so close to your heart, you'd say that Daniel from Mrs. Doubtfire was a creep too.

Creating a new persona to follow your kids and wife around is straight up psychotic.

Both Characters

Columbia Pictures

From The Wedding Planner are just the worst. Instead of telling their fiancees they're in love, they have this whole affair and string them along for the whole movie. For shame.

Juliet

Universal Pictures

So yeah, Mark sucks really hard, but you know what sucks even more? Falling for all of Mark's crap. Yes Juliet from Love Actually, you are also terrible for kissing him after everything he did.

For shame.

Noah (Seriously, again?)

Netflix

This Noah is from yet another Netflix special called The Kissing Booth. He's got a slew of anger issues and a bunch of red flags about him. Actually, the two kind of go hand in hand...

Mark

Universal Pictures

Arrrrgghhhh... This guy... this guy... man, there has never been a more punchable face in all of film history. This creep from Love Actually is a d-bag to his best friends fiancee, then totally tries to steal her on Christmas Eve.

I genuinely hate this dude.
