Liz Lemon and Criss Chros, Miranda and Steve, and, it's not really love, but it is still kinda love, Jen and Judy in Dead To Me. I actually think it's more common on TV than it is in movies, because there's time to really flesh out both of the personalities and how they work so well together. 

Kevin James and Leah Remini in anything 💯 

oof i'm really racking my brain trying to think of a good one... I literally can only think of I Love You Man. I know I'm completely defeating the purposes of this being a couples thing... I really can't think of anything! GAH. But I love the trope concept, esp bc it shatters the manic pixie dream girl trope in a million pieces. 

I am shocked I never heard of this trope before, but it is ever-present in some of my favorite movies.

To explain, in case you also hadn't heard of it: the grump girl + sunshine boy trope follows a courtship between a couple in which a sweet man wins over a woman who has lived a life of cynicism. Some examples: CeCe and Schmidt in New Girl, Kat and Patrick in 10 Things I Hate About You, Andy and April in Parks and Rec, Andrew and Margaret in The Proposal, and David and Patrick in Schitt's Creek (it also works for same-sex couples)!

Do you have a favorite that fits the trope? Even an unexpected favorite (like, Katniss and Peeta in Hunger Games still counts!)? And do you think this exists in real-life too? Does cynicism match with sweet?

Favorite grumpy girl + sunshine boy movie couples?
