It's nice to watch something for a change that just makes you smile...it doesn't pretend to be an Oscar masterpiece, just a bit of fun that makes you feel good! There's questionable parts and moments that make you wince for sure but If you want something that's easy to watch that just makes you feel a bit happier about life then this is for you! I think we take things a little too seriously now and expect more and more from cinema...this film reminds me of the romcoms back in the 90's and we really should make more of them! Please don't expect the world it's just a bit of fun and it certainly will leave you with a smile!
Neither brilliant nor dreadful, "Anyone But You" features a cast of characters that are unbelievably attractive and, apparently, insanely wealthy. It stars Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeny's breasts in the formulatic equivalent of a Hallmark Movie knock-off. You know the drill - two perfect young people meet, are instantly attracted to each other, are separated by a misunderstanding with hilarious hijinks ensuing. The misunderstanding is eventually resolved, love blooms once more, and all ends well.
What sets this film apart is excellent cinematography with lovely wide-angle views of the Australian countryside. The supporting cast is very capable although the Australian men are played as oafish stereotypes. Glen Powell plays his part well, but Sydney Sweeny appears to be reading her lines from a teleprompter offscreen. Not the worst movie out this holiday season and enjoyable as long as you refrain from high expectations.

This movie is exactly what I thought it would be so I can't complain too much.
The two leads are both very attractive and have good chemistry, so that was entertaining to watch and nice on the eyes. It had some cute scenes. I gotta say the ensemble was pretty good if I laughed it was always because something one of them said. They were a bunch of goofy characters. I also enjoyed dermot mulroney's character when he was learning how to dive and the reoccurance of that at the end of the movie. It made me giggle.
But I gotta say... the dialogue was very mediocre and at times just not good at all. It just lacked depth which again didn't expect it to have depth but still could have been better.

Bea (Sydney Sweeney) meets Ben (Glen Powell) in a coffee shop and they hook up. There are misunderstandings next morning and they leave angry. It turns out that his friend is marrying her sister. The two enemies have to attend a destination wedding in Australia.
Sweeney and Powell are trying all kind of broad physical humor. They are both gorgeous and both have good charisma. Neither are outright comedians and that is important. They are mildly funny but are rarely the funniest part. The first big laugh is the WTF old guy while the two bicker. The butt grabbing scene kinda works, but the leads may be overshadowed by a koala. This duo tries very hard. It's so ridiculous that it's mildly funny.

They really did make a whole movie just to show off Glen Powell's smoking hot body and honestly - I'm here for it!
The storyline and the acting is... wait, who cares?? Glen Powell is shirtless about half the time.
This is a movie about two people who fall in love only to find out that... Glen Powell's body is so hot!
If you watch the trailer you already know exactly what happ... Glen Powell!!
The predictability factor is super strong with this one. The cheese is sprinkled all over the movie, in every scene, there is little room left for any other ingredients because... cheese. And Glen Powell.
