The quality of a romantic comedy depends almost entirely on how much we root for the central couple. But sometimes, even in a good film, the couple falls short. Below, I have given scientifically calculated percentages for the likelihood that these couples stayed (happily!) together after the events of the film.
19. Claire and Bender from The Breakfast Club: 0%
18. Aaron and Cady from Mean Girls: 6%
17. Sandy and Danny from Grease: 10%
16. Jake and Melanie from Sweet Home Alabama: 20%
15. Edward and Vivian from Pretty Woman: 25%
14. Sam and Jake from Sixteen Candles: 29%
13. Austin and Sam from A Cinderella Story: 32%
12. Ben and Andy from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days: 38%
11. Amanda and Graham from The Holiday: 45%
10. Margaret and Andrew from The Proposal: 54%
9. Amy and Aaron from Trainwreck: 61%
8. Will and April from Definitely, Maybe: 65%
7. Hitch and Sara from Hitch: 70%
6. Jamie and Dylan from Friends with Benefits: 76%
5. Mike and Scarlet from 17 Again: 80%
4. Allegra and Albert from Hitch: 88%
3. Nick and Rachel from Crazy Rich Asians: 92.5%
2. Jenna and Matt from 13 Going on 30: 100%
1. And finally, Hannah and Jacob from Crazy Stupid Love: 1000000%
CORRECTION
We referred to Albert from Hitch as Alfred a couple times. Oops!
