Anyone But You (2023)

Directed by Will Gluck and starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, ‘Anyone But You’ introduces Bea and Ben, who seem to be the ideal couple.

However, after an incredible first date, an unexpected event chills their intense attraction to each other. Fate gives them a second chance when they meet unexpectedly at a wedding in Australia.

Despite their mutual rejection, they decide to pretend to be a couple of convenience, which forces them to interact again.

This film has become a huge hit at the end of the year and the beginning of 2024, reaffirming that the romantic comedy genre is still a great ally for movie theatres.

The new Hollywood offering is not only entertaining, but also proves that when there is chemistry between the characters, success is almost guaranteed.

The real triumph of ‘Anyone But You’ lies in bringing together two of today's hottest stars in a romantic story that exudes passion and chemistry.

While the plot may seem familiar, the performances of Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell make the experience enjoyable from start to finish.

The film is charming and replete with the clichés we are all familiar with, with assured direction from a director who is a regular in the genre.

These elements, which are usually synonymous with a job well done, are complemented by the chemistry between the two leads, who shine on screen and convey a charisma that makes the relationship we are watching feel authentic.

One of the highlights of this romantic comedy is its ability to keep the viewer connected and entertained. The love story between the characters is simple and highly lovable, which allows the narrative to flow effectively, even if it is predictable.

The film has the charm, the wit and the heartbreaking romance that make it stand out, as well as the sympathy of not trying to offer more than it needs to. The choice to have two rising stars in the service of romance allows us to connect with those iconic couples that cinema has given us over the years.
