re: Most mismatched/overmatched pair of actors in a movie?

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).
