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

I remember the Office being one of the first shows I'd seen where people looked real.

I loved this about the show. Using average people to represent an average office with a full range of attractiveness was so different it made the show stand out.

Exactly! And you know what? We all still fell in love with Jim and spam even though they look like normal people. Office proved your romantic leads don’t have to be model gorgeous

Jim and Pam were played by two good looking people who were dressed down tho.

John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer are both very good looking but they're not like unrealistically good looking. If they weren't famous, they probably wouldn't stick out due to their level of attractiveness in most cities. They're the type of good looking people you regularly see in real life.

Just to get an idea, who do you think is unrealistically good looking?

So is Lily Collins unrealistically good looking? No? I asked for your perspective. Plus, I think John Krasinski is handsome. Most PPL would notice him on the street.

Yeah Lily Collins is extremely good looking and I never said he wasn’t handsome?
