Geeks, Genius, & Gravitons: The Big Bang Theory

It turns out Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk had a living situation that, in the world of celebs, is not so unique.

Though Kaley Cuoco and Karl Cook tied the knot more than a year ago, the actress revealed the two don’t live together just yet.

“We’re building our dream house,” Cuoco, 33, shared with E! News recently. “We’re eventually gonna be under the same roof forever.”

“We have a very unconventional marriage,” she added. “We have different locations that we’re at a lot.”

 And it’s her (“Big Bang”) theory that space helps their marriage stay strong.

“We’re not together every single day, and I think personally it’s important, it works well for us,” she said. “If you want to Instagram shame each other, Instagram shame each other. It just makes life really fun.”Her contributions to the cinematic world shouldn’t be overlooked, obviously, but her television roles have received much more critical praise and recognition than her film roles. In this list, we’ll be putting both of them head-to-head to rank her 5 best and 5 worst overall roles, based on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes’ film and TV rating system.

Kaley Cuoco and Karl Cook attend Seth Rogen's Hilarity For Charity on March 24, 2018 in Los Angeles.

Worst: Gretchen in The Wedding Ringer (28%)

The 2015 rom-com The Wedding Ringer follows Doug Harris (Josh Gad), a semi-wealthy tax attorney who is getting married to Gretchen (Cuoco), the love of his life, in two weeks. The only problem is, he’s doesn’t have any friends to be groomsmen, and, running out of time, he follows a referral to a “best man services” business run by Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart), from where he hires seven abnormal actors to pose as his groomsmen.

The film received terrible reviews, with its only real positive aspect being that you can occasionally catch glimpses of the comedic brilliance that should be expected in a film with Gad and Hart. Cuoco’s shallow acting was especially criticized, winning her a Razzie for Worst Supporting Actress.

Best: Penny on The Big Bang Theory (81%)

For nearly twelve years, Cuoco’s ongoing role in one of television’s biggest hit sitcoms, The Big Bang Theory, was her best talking point. In the series, with follows a group of introverted, maladroit friends (headlined by Caltech physicists Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter), Cuoco plays Penny, an extroverted, socially apt wannabe actress who becomes Leonard’s main love interest over the course of the series.

The show has received critical praise throughout its run, with panegyric reviews usually focusing on its well-developed humor and characters, as well as its use of real scientific subjects and accurate portrayal of geek culture.
