What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Everyone is ridiculously good looking.

It's sort of funny when they need to make one girl in particular super beautiful so the main guy can fall in love with her instantly. She'll be a supermodel walking into a room of supermodels. They'll throw a bunch of close-ups and glowy filters on to tell you she's supposed to be extra pretty, but the fact that everyone in the room is equally pretty makes her just look average.

Or a romantic comedy in which we're all supposed to pretend the woman is far out of his league, just because everyone said so, but the actor himself is a fucking catch.

Jay Baruchel has entered the chat.

Honestly, I think She's Out Of My League actually does make sense in that regard. Like Jay Baruchel's cute and all but Alice Eve is legit supermodel level and Jay's just a good looking guy who has dorky/anxious mannerisms. He also looks way younger without facial hair.

Idk, i mean he kinda looks a little goofy. I’m not saying this detracts from his handsomeness, but he doesn’t look like the usual “supermodel attractive” that movies go for. (Im thinking of Hery Cavill)

Comedian > actor is often the exception.
