“Anyone But You” Delivers on Romantic Comedy With a Twist
Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell star in the latest romantic comedy “Anyone But You” which adds a unique twist to the typical rom-com genre. The movie, directed by Will Gluck, brings together a delightful mix of chemistry, humor, and a touch of holiday counterprogramming.
The film follows Bea and Ben, played by Sweeney and Powell, as they navigate through a series of comedic mishaps and miscommunications. The plot revolves around a destination wedding in Australia where both characters find themselves forced into spending time together despite their lingering hostility towards each other.
The romantic comedy, categorized by CNN as a “fun-in-the-sun romp in Australia,” showcases the chemistry between the two lead actors, who rise to the occasion of the unusual romantic comedy challenges. The movie is also noted for its broad laughs and a few memorable lines that stand out among the rest.
“Anyone But You” is an intriguing example of career management for Sydney Sweeney, who finds herself branching into the romantic comedy genre after her successful stints in HBO series and movies. Powell also gets to exhibit a softer side, a departure from his straight-arrow roles in other films.
The movie is set to premiere in US theaters on December 22 with an R rating, targeting a slightly more adult crowd. Its unique spin on the romantic comedy formula and the chemistry between the lead actors has already generated buzz and anticipation for the film’s release.
