On Our Way To Crazy

I love fluffy movies. If a movie is set in high school, or involves some kind of dance contest, or, well, Ethan Embry, it is pretty much automatically on my top ten list. Action? Intrigue? Deep political impact and social commentary? No. I need a good party scene.

So when I saw the trailer for Post Grad, I knew it was meant for me. Yes, it looks fluffy, and yes, it involves a girl trying to make it in the big city. Check and check.

But! It gets even more awesome. The actors in this movie have real names. I don’t care what they are. Because this movie? Stars Rory Gilmore and Matt Saracen. Rory and Matt! It is perfect.

I don’t know if their characters in the movie are meant to be together. But their TV characters would be a great couple.

This got me thinking. What fictional characters from my favorite TV shows would make good couples? I present you with my favorites.

1. Rory Gilmore (Gilmore Girls) + Matt Saracen (Friday Night Lights)

This is a match made in heaven, y’all. Rory is smart, bookish, a little shy, thoughtful. Matt is smart, artsy, polite, funny, and lives with and takes care of his sick grandmother. They could ride around together in the back of Landry’s car and talk about their plans to see the world. Perfection.

2. Dylan McKay (Beverly Hills, 90210) + Blair Waldorf (Gossip Girl)

I always hated how Dylan got a free pass in the whole Dylan/Brenda/Kelly love triangle when he was obviously the instigator. Ms. Waldorf would not let him get away with that business. Plus, she would look great in his car.

3. Ted Moseby (How I Met Your Mother) + Izzie Stevens (Grey’s Anatomy)

I am torn on this one. I don’t really like Izzie very much. Well, until she got cancer. Is that awful? I don’t care. She has become so much better lately. To be honest, though, I don’t love Ted either. He’s kind of whiny and his friends are way funnier than he is. But. They are both super romantic and dream of the big house and the perfect wedding and the 2.5 kids. So let’s get them together. They can be an annoying couple and have annoying kids and we will all avoid them when we pass them on the street.

4. Kelly Kapoor (The Office) + Cappie (Greek)

I know you are probably not watching Greek on ABC Family. You are definitely missing out. Kelly and Cappie have the same thing going – kind of silly, lots of partying, a softer more serious side hiding underneath that shallow exterior. And Cappie could totally beat Jim at ping pong.

5. Tim Gunn (Project Runway) + Kenneth Parcell (30 Rock)

Alright. This one is a stretch. First of all Tim Gunn is not a character, he is a real person, and I believe he is the same in real life as he is on Project Runway and don’t try to tell me differently. And I don’t think Kenneth is gay. HOWEVER. How awesome a couple would they be? So awesome. So happy and smiley and well-dressed. And imagine the stir they would cause when Kenneth took Tim to his reunion at Kentucky Mountain Bible College.

Here’s the Post Grad trailer. Get pumped. Matt Saracen!
