As charming as Gerard Butler normally is, even he couldn't make Mike even remotely appealing. I never thought that he and Abby lasted long after the movie.

I think Benjamin Braddock's cluelessness is the whole point of "The Graduate"( same w/ Heath Ledger in "10 Things I Hate About You" which is based on Shakespeare's "Taming Of The Shrew", which was written in 1500's so isn't exactly "Woke". ) & though I have a soft spot for Owen Wilson --NONE of the guys in The Wedding Crashers were likable...!

[trinaq]

Sandy was the best part of "Along Came Polly", by sure. Philip Seymour Hoffman really stole all of his scenes, and almost makes you wish that you were following his antics as a washed up child star.

[kamsismith]

Lovable: Akeem and Lisa from Coming to America, Peter and Aldous from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, John and Joey from Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, pretty much any Drew Barrymore character
Hateable: Darryl from Coming to America, everyone from You People

The two protagonists of "Wedding Crashers" are not what you could call heroes either. They sneak into other people's weddings without being imitated to hook up with random ladies. Owen Wilson's character even poisons Bradley Cooper's to steal his girlfriend, I mean the guy is a jerk but the lead characters are too.

[mayaeiland]

I thought cher is a iconic character and the lead character from clueless she should be on lovable list, Ronny is not lead character from moonlight.

[markbayer]

THANK YOU for realizing what a jerk Benjamin is in The Graduate. He seems to be "attracted" to Elaine only to spite her mother. Speaking of whom, even though Mrs Robinson is unsympathetic and Anne Bancroft's masterful portrayal doesn't try to make her anything but, my heart perpetually goes out to her.

[pickleballer]

I object to Benjamin Braddock being on this list because "The GRaduate" was not a Rom-com. Far from it. Even when I saw it at the age of 13, I felt really said for all of the main characters. Just because his character is clueless, doesn't mean the story was a comedy.

Happy friday afternoon, Jen, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well

[justindenney-hall]

"Duckie" would be "Hateable" for me😒

[ProgressWillNeverBeStopped]

Vance from Hitch - hateable
Jane from 27 Dresses- loveable

I feel these should have made the list and didn’t

[srecko]

Amelie❤❤❤❤❤❤ one of my favorite movie and lead actress ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[joemc]

I wouldn’t say Mr Yunioshi is all that hateable but Mickey Rooney’s performance sure is. And Benjamin Braddock is only hateable using today’s sensibilities.

[maryturpel]

Thank you for the #1 Hateable. That character spoiled BAT for me.

I like the list since I grew up watching. But all I see is white. Where is the diversity of skin tone.
