I wish there was a flip of them though. More movies where actually unattractive or chubby/fat women get the hot guy.

That would be great! I can't think of any examples of that off the top of my head, unfortunately... which probably shows you how rare that is.

Muriel's wedding is the only example I can think of.

Hot guy tho?

(Anonymous) 2017-06-15 10:16 am (UTC)(link)
nayrt

Yeah, I wouldn't call Jack Black a hot guy either. But that's a question of taste, I guess. However, in this case I'd say both parties are equally matched in the looks department.

Spy is sorta, but the joke is she doesn't want him.

(Anonymous) 2017-06-15 10:12 am (UTC)(link)
The British comedy series 'Miranda' is another example where the male love interest is more conventionally attractive than the protagonist. But I agree, it's extremely rare.

TV Tropes to the rescue.

Hot Guy, Ugly Wife.

Er... I was assuming that ayrt meant examples where such a pairing wasn't done as a joke, but rather as a genuine romance - the way it is for movies where the geek guy ends up with a hot girl.

Most of the nerds in the 80s movies were pretty good looking. Most of the nerds of both sexes, tbh.

Hairspray (the original, preferably!) is the only one I can think of.

Circle of Friends failed at this.

The main character was supposed to be fat and plain, but Minnie Driver was neither.

(Anonymous) 2017-06-15 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't see The Duff, but that's the premise of that one, innit?

(Anonymous) 2017-06-14 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
That was a fun movie. Dumb, but fun. I just really liked Topher Grace too, so that helped.

I liked this movie.

My favorite part was probably the brother-sister relationship between Grace & Faris's characters

As for the actual content of your secret, I get that. I actually saw The Social Network when it came out because someone described it as being like a John Hughes film, and, while I liked it, it's really not. I totally understand wanting more films of that ilk.
