Most mismatched/overmatched pair of actors in a movie?

Gangs of New York easily. Not that Leo's a hack, but DDL totally dominated the screen everytime he was on. I didn't care about anything else in his scenes.

It depends who is considered a hack. Can we get a list of who is considered a hack?

Roger and Jessica Rabbit

I'm drawing a blank though.

Virtually any film with Keanu Reeves.

Great example of Keanu is Bram Stoker's Dracula - he was in a film with Anthony Hopkins AND Gary Oldman. Who the frick thought that was a good idea - Keanu simply isn't an actor - why bring such stark attention by surrounding him with such good actors in the film? The only thing that mitigated this was that Ryder was also miscast (although she can act if properly cast and motivated) and/or phoned it in.


And the leads in Titanic were overmatched/outacted badly by the supporting cast. (Leo has since done much, much better, but either miscast/misused and/or didn't deliver in this particular film).

Jerry Lewis and Robet De Niro in The King of Comedy.

Very dark comedy where Lewis plays a dramatic role and De Niro does the subtle and dark comedy.

It definitely works though, and this is one of my favorite Scorsese movies.

Low-res 240p, but it's on YouTube

Guessing neither were much into that kiss
