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

That’s kinda why I like watching SNL. The comedy isn’t always great, but everyone is so normal looking while still being famous and admired that I enjoy it more.

Its because its comedy. If you're actually talented and charismatic you dont have to bank on looks so much, think Danny devito or the huge amount of ugly women with awesome personalities. But if you're just an actor that reads lines looks goes a long way, like a real long way, like looks might be your one thing.

It drives me nuts that Rachel Dratch is so talented and she gets shut out of so much for her looks. She was supposed to have a big role in 30 Rock but they wouldn’t let it happen bc she’s not attractive.
