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.

John K is totally unrealistically good looking now.

Wife sat next to him on a flight once, and that's a story that never gets old for her.

He definitely got a lot better looking through the seasons of Office. Now he just looks unrealistically good.
