In the realm of romantic comedies, certain tropes are so ingrained that they become almost expected, and Will Gluck‘s Anyone But You, co-written by Ilana Wolpert, comfortably nestles itself into familiar territory. The film, starring Sydney Sweeny and Glen Powell, with a supporting ensemble including Alexandra Shipp, GaTa, Hadley Robinson, Michelle Hurd, Dermot Mulroney, Darren Barnet, and Rachel Griffiths, is a classic case of somewhat funny, middle-of-the-road storytelling in the genre.
Future lawyer Bea (Sweeney) and Ben’s (Powell) first meeting in a coffee shop, complete with an awkward bathroom encounter, quickly escalates to a night at his place, and ending with her sneaky departure. Ben’s friend Pete (GaTa) teases him about falling in love after the first night, a notion Ben denies while criticizing Bea, unaware she’s come back to apologize and overheard his vitriol. Fate throws them together again at a club, where they’re introduced to Pete’s sister Claudia (Shipp), who is engaged to Bea’s sister Halle (Robinson).
Their initial exchanges are frosty, and to their dismay, they learn they’re both headed to Claudia and Halle’s wedding in Australia. In an attempt to maintain appearances, Bea and Ben try to mask their mutual interest, but their obvious tension threatens to disrupt the wedding festivities. Desperate to keep the peace, they agree to a truce. As they navigate through a series of mishaps, the question looms: will their antics lead to a bitter end or blossom into love?
Anyone But You epitomizes the typical rom-com formula: a young woman, an older man, and a predictable plot with little depth or profound messaging. It’s a film that doesn’t strive to break new ground but rather comfortably sits in the

At age 44, Kate Hudson is still seeking romance.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Kate Hudson appeared on “The View” and reflected on the recent 20th anniversary of her iconic romantic comedy “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” The genre has lost much its box office dominance in the decades since Hudson first linked up with Matthew McConaughey to the tune of $105 million at the domestic box office and $177 million worldwide.

The new romantic comedy Anyone But You, starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, is now in theaters!
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Starting in the 2000s, for a little over a decade, 3D was sold as a value-added feature of moviegoing, even though, with rare exceptions (e.g., the “Avatar” films), it never worked too well or added very much. (I would argue that it subtracted.) In most cases, 3D was a rip-off — a carny-barker way for studios to jack up ticket prices.
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic A convincing romantic and erotic attraction, we can all agree, is one of the keys to a good rom-com. Do you believe these two people love each other? Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell definitely have that in “Anyone But You.” It begins with the simple fact that both are such splendid camera objects. She, with her goldfish eyes and pout of self-possession, looks like a more wised-up, no-nonsense Brigitte Bardot, while he, with his squinty eyes and killer grin, resembles Tom Cruise with a weird touch of the young Dustin Hoffman’s geek glamour.
