John and Sarah in Serendipity. Yeah, the concept of fate sounds silly to a lot of people, but their reunion was pretty romantic and the ending shows them being very happy together after a about a year has passed, so in getting to know each other better, they fell more in love.

Most of these couples were young, so they would not have lasted. I can see the couple from Serendipity lasting & maybe The Graduate.
John Hughes movies in general don't hold up well. Isn't the whole point of The Breakfast Club that it is questionable whether these characters will even acknowledge one another on Monday? Neither Claire nor Bender would want their respective friends to think they got hung up on the other. Same goes for Allison and Andrew, especially if she didn't maintain the makeover. I actually would wish that the latter couple could make it more. Peer pressure is a b**ch, thugh. There really is no good option for Andie in Pretty in Pink. Either she ends up with the bland milquetoast rich boy or with the proto incel "good guy" who stalks her into a club he knows he'll never be allowed into and throws a hissy fit because she dares to be interested in another boy after all the hard work he's put into their relationship. The gender-flipped triangle of Some Kind of Wonderful works better with the original ending of the friend getting upgrade to significant other while the bland rich character goes away single but with a stronger backbone and sense of character.
I'll say this about Kat and Charlie, that's literally what his point was when he breaks up with her (if you'd call it that), he even brings it up in the last scene Charlie: "What if we're too different?" Kat: "What if we're not?"
Bender and claire definitely wouldn't had lasted 💔
Ben and Elaine would divorce surely. And Andie would realize Duckie is her true love.
I'd add two more recent examples : Lara-Jean and Peter in To All of the Boys and most obviously Noah Flynn and Elle in Kissing Booth. Both of these are long-distance, after-high-school relationships, but ultimately they are really not fit for each other. Lara Jean had much more in common with John Laurence, Elle with Marco. At least Peter is not half as toxic as Noah was, but still, even though their relationship was sweet, it was not something made for longer than high school.
I absolutely love The Proposal, so it pains to admit that Margaret and Andrew most likely didn't make it
Bender & Claire are not intending to be a couple. She gave him the earring as a reminder of the connection they had/have but neither is going to be leaving their social cliques to be with the other. In fact, none of them were going to be hanging out together after that day.....although each of them have been changed by the experience. Did anyone even understand the movie? 🤦♀

Great list! I would also include these two Tom Hanks romantic comedies in terms of couples who definitely didn’t stay together: 1. Allen and Madison in “Splash” (1984) since Allen is a human and Madison is a mermaid. Yeah, I know that sounds speciesist, but it’s true especially if you watched the “Futurama” episode where Fry decides to ditch his land friends to be with the mermaid Umbriel only to then realize how sexually incompatible he was with her under the sea. 😂 Oh and before you bring up the sequel “Splash, Too”, I don’t consider “Splash, Too” as canon. #sorrynotsorry 2. Sam Baldwin and Annie Reed in “Sleepless in Seattle” (1993) in terms of how she’ll probably dump Sam after realizing that she has nothing in common with Sam and she was better off marrying Walter. Not to mention how she has no experience with raising kids. The cynic in me thinks that Annie and Sam stood next to each other in AWKWARD SILENCE as the elevator descended from The Empire State Building.
Pretty much all rom com couples belong on this list. Most movies have a poor set up for the couple.
Troy was definitely the worst. Gabriella and Sharpay are the real heroes of those movies (and yes, Sharpay did have issues, but to call her the villain of those movies is such a stretch). Also, we all know that convertible blew up and took out Sandy and Danny. We see them driving it to heaven, man.
I feel like this list should have been at least 10 times as long
Andie and Blane were SO CUTE its hard to think they would end...:(( and so were Bender and Claire. Plus the fact Molly ringwald plays the girl in both these realtionships is cracking me UP

The Wedding Crashers, I think neither marriage would have lasted. Gloria was crazy spoilt and manipulative while Jeremy was deceptive, crashing weddings and pretending he was a guest. John and Claire really don't know each other that well and once again, their relationship began with a lie, again with John pretending to be a guest just to sleep with someone which is pretty shallow, to begin with.
Knocked Up to me was not sexist. The point is these women want their men to be mature, honest, and act their age. The men's problems is they see it as their girlfriend or wife is trying to ruin their fun.
So did you all notice that Molly Ringwald was in 3 of the clips? I guess she doesn't have a very good track record 😕

Edward and Vivian would definitely not be together. I think she would start resenting him for treating her like property, which I also believe he would do. He would probably constantly play the Savior card for helping her get out of that life style. Charlie and Kat from Marry Me would absolutely not be together. I recently watched this movie for the first time and I agree with all the reasons why they said these two would not be together. That storyline and casting was cringeworthy and totally unbelievable. The only one I disagree with is Jonathan and Sara from Serendipity. I think if they pursued the relationship in an intelligent, openminded way by making sure they take the time to get to know each other well, they could make it. And I do believe that was implied in the ending of the movie.
Claire and Bender would not have ever actually coupled up. They would not have spoken on Monday. I thought everyone understood that?? Yes, Bender treated Claire horribly.

Dionne and Murray do break up what most people forget was that Clueless had a tv series with most of the cast reprising their role from the movie including Stacy as Dionne and Donald as Murray they had a big break up near the end of S2 and never really got back together they came close in the series finale in s3 Dionne was going to slept w/him on Grad-night when she found out he was going to Africa after graduation but than she found out he wasn't a virgin they get in a fight and Murray leaves and that when the show ended.
Barry Egan and Lena Leonard from Punch Drunk Love belong on this list. Barry Egan is a character played by Adam Sandler and he was a deconstruction of the Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore roles Adam Sandler played at the time.
