"Anyone But You" shouldn't have been as good as it turned out to be. On paper, it seemed like a run-of-the-mill rom-com, but the dynamic chemistry and comedic brilliance of Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney transformed it into an irresistibly fun experience.
Bea (Sydney Sweeney) and Ben (Glen Powell) hit it off after a chance meeting at a coffee shop. What starts as an amazing first date quickly turns into a misunderstanding that flips their fiery attraction into fierce animosity. Fate, however, has other plans. They find themselves unexpectedly thrust together at a destination wedding in Australia, surrounded by family, friends, and their ex-lovers. In a bid to make their exes jealous, they do what any mature adults would do: pretend to be a couple.
Setting your expectations low can sometimes be the key to enjoying a film, and "Anyone But You" is a perfect example. Despite its predictable and formulaic plot, the film surprises with its charm, primarily due to the electrifying performances of its leads. The story is undeniably campy and cheesy, laden with clichés, and the running gags are hit or miss. The supporting cast, though competent, doesn't add anything particularly fresh to the mix. Yet, what the film lacks in originality, it more than makes up for in sheer entertainment value. Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney carry the film effortlessly. Their on-screen chemistry is palpable, whether they're exchanging flirtatious glances or barbed insults. The banter between Bea and Ben is sharp, witty, and often laugh-out-loud funny, elevating the film from what could have been a forgettable rom-com to a genuinely enjoyable watch.
