9 Unexpected Duos That Need Their Own Buddy Comedy

To make a great buddy comedy you can use one of two formulas: two people whose solid friendship anchors the movie, or an odd couple thrown together who eventually discover they're more alike than they thought

Instead of developing new characters to form lifelong friendships on screen, future writers and directors just have to figure out what fan fiction writers already know: The perfect pairs exist — they just live in different fictional worlds.

There are obvious barriers that divide them, such as time period and animation. But once you look past that, it's easy to see these characters are best friends that just haven't met yet — and their movies would be sure-fire hits.
