Man, where’s your chemistry?
Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher proved to be the antithesis of Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac on the red carpet during two recent preview appearances.
The actors looked like they just won The Hunger Games as they posed for publicity photos on January 30 and February 2 for their upcoming Netflix romantic comedy Your Place or Mine, in which the two play, uh, love interests. .

It’s unclear why the two looked so uncomfortable being photographed next to each other, but we’re guessing Kutcher told Witherspoon he didn’t like the book club’s latest pick.. Or Witherspoon told Kutcher that she bought the ticket she needed to resell for one of billionaire Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic flights.

Exactly, the two of them and some photos where they seem to be having fun together…

…But it’s hard to ignore the handful of images that look as crisp as a Sears studio family portrait.

So much so that fans on Twitter couldn’t help but poke fun at the embarrassing pictures.
“Get a camera omg!!!” one Twitter user joked about one of the photos.
But the sarcasm did not stop there.
But one Twitter user offered another theory:
Kutcher’s wife, Mila Kunis, also called out her husband and Witherspoon on their strange photos.
Witherspoon, who stars on Apple TV’s “The Morning Show,” explained on “Today With Hoda & Jenna” that Kunis emailed her after the photos were posted.

“It’s like, ‘You guys look so awkward together on the red carpet,'” Witherspoon explained.
But the “Big Little Lies” star also said on the show that there is no tension between her and Kutcher.
“He is so professional. He’s the funniest guy. I mean, such nonsense. We had so much fun and every time she wore a funny dress I texted Mila. I’d say, ‘What’s he wearing?'”
