This usually happens when the grease-covered mechanic is told that he's not "good enough" for the high society debutante.

When the "ugly" girl the guy dates out of pity is really just a gorgeous girl in glasses and imperfect hair -or a fatsuit. and that the fate angle is done to death. I completely agree with everything you said! I can't stand unnatural, totally contrived sounding dialogue like that, with lines that YOU KNOW the director planned all along to push as the film's 'catchphrase'. 
Often movies of that ilk also contain an annoying, precocious, "cute to the point of toothache (usually with either stupid looking, way too overstyled hair, and/or nerd glasses)" little kid who continually utters dialogue designed to cause the audience to go into spasms of either: laughter, amazement at his/her precociousness, or **sniff** tears.

XxAxX said: or how about those films where the protagonists 'hate' each other all the way through the movie, do really mean things to each other, then at the end finally realize the reason they've been treating each other like crap is because they're attracted to each other. please. get therapy you two.
That plot is SOOO cliche, yet movies keep running the premise into the ground. | |

When Renee Zellweger says to Tom Cruise "you had me at hello"...corny and dumb.

I hate it when they hang up the phone and they didn't even say goodbye first!  or they come home and left the front door open | |

There can be no sex or even hint at sex if there is a child involved, since people with kids don't have sex. 
See 'Sleepless In Seattle'. Even after they hook up and the film ends you know they weren't going to ever have sex, only strolls by the bay. | |
