Summary

Romantic comedy starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell. When they first meet, Bea and Ben feel an instant attraction and spend a day getting to know one another, but a misunderstanding soon sours things. Some time later, they are each invited to the same destination wedding. Wishing to annoy and impress their respective ex-partners, who are also in attendance, the bickering pair agree to pretend they're an item.

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

Kevin Harley

Despite its charismatic leads, Shakespearean influence and picture-postcard locations, director/co-writer Will Gluck's modern take on Much Ado about Nothing is a lacklustre affair. After a promising first date, Bea (Sydney Sweeney) and Ben (Glen Powell) fall out acrimoniously. But when both are invited to the same wedding in Sydney, they bicker but pretend to be lovers, aiming to make Ben's ex (Charlee Fraser) jealous and put off Bea's matchmaking parents (Dermot Mulroney and Rachel Griffiths). But who's really fooling who? The script offers a few decent one-liners but creaks with strain in its tangled plotting, stabs at bawdy humour and attempts to make grilled-cheese sandwiches appear sexy. It's little wonder the normally reliable Sweeney and Powell seem disengaged. Alexandra Shipp and Hadley Robinson stand out among the likeable supporting cast, while Joe Davidson's bluff surfer banks the most laughs. But otherwise, Anyone but You rarely summons the wit or spritz that romcom fans might RSVP to.
