'Anyone But You' is a great example of what I often say about movies, and in particular romantic comedies - chemistry conquers all. On reflection, the script in this movie isn't actually all that strong. It takes a decent concept and doesn't do a whole lot with it outside of the expected. However I found myself having a great time with the film because Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell were playing off each other so well. The charm was just oozing off the screen, even when they hated each other.
I felt like the script played it a little too safe. I understand they were trying to appeal to a wider audience, and so any gross-out comedy was probably out of the equation, but they could've gotten a little more creative with the situational comedy. The film would've really benefited from a few more laugh-out-loud moments.
For what it was though this was a decent film. There are worse ways to kill 100 minutes if you need to. 7/10.
