Line 69:
* ''[[The Princess Diaries]] 2'': Bland Perfection leaning towards Let's Call The Whole Thing Off. When Mia calls off the wedding at the very last minute, Andrew is perfectly understanding about it, and he's only worried about what his mother's going to think.
* ''L'arnacoeur,'' aka ''Heartbreaker'': Andrew Lincoln's character is definitely Blandly Perfect
* ''[[Coming to America]]'':
*
** Lisa, the Prince's love interest, has a fiancé too, whose Minor Flaw (sleaziness) makes him veer towards the Evil All Along type.
* ''[[Young Frankenstein]]'': Madeline Kahn has Minor Flaws.
* ''[[What's Up, Doc?]]'': Madeline Kahn again, and here her character Eunice Burns is really the innocent victim of the devious schemes of Barbra Streisand's character. At least Eunice seems to be happier with the millionaire she ends up with!
Line 80 ⟶ 81:
* ''[[Wicker Park]]'' starts with the male lead buying a ring to propose to his Blandly Perfect girlfriend. He then thinks he might be able to find the girl he dated before her, and spends the rest of the movie completely ignoring the woman he was apparently intending to marry, as well as sleeping with someone else. While she has no character, the way he immediately abandons their relationship without even bothering to inform her makes him come off as a [[Jerkass]].
* ''[[Twister]]'' has a rare female example in Melissa. Tends towards Minor Flaws, in that she is somewhat boring and holds back the lead character from doing what he loves.
* ''[[Veer-Zaara]]'': Zaara's fiancé is of the Evil All Along type, who decided to accuse Veer of being an Indian spy and keep him in a Palestinian prison, just to prevent the lovers for ever meeting again. {{Spoiler|In a high amount of irony, it was all for nothing: while the full stunt prevented Veer and Zaara's re-encounter for about 20 years, Zaara still called the wedding off and
* ''[[Jab We Met]]'': Geet has ''two'' of these. The first was the childhood friend that her family arranged a marriage with and who fell somewhere near the Let's Call The Whole Thing Off; the second was the boyfriend she spent the first part of the film trying to reach for and turned out to be the [[Wrong Guy First]].
* In ''[[Band Baaja Baaraat]]'' , Shruti's fiancé is so disposable [[The Ghost|he doesn't even appears in screen]] and is only listened from the cellphone, although for what little we know he seems to be of the Bland Perfection type.
* ''[[Vicky Cristina Barcelona]]'': Doug. Subverted however {{spoiler|in that Vicky does end up marrying him in the end}}.
* ''[[3 Idiots]]'': Subhas, Pia's fiance, is such an example of Evil All
