Anyone But You, from director Will Gluck and co-writer Ilana Wolpert, has the charm, wit, swoony romance, and, most importantly, star chemistry that has been solely missing from recent lackluster entries in the genre.
Anyone But You is a rom-com for the age of antipathy. It is, in many ways, as prefab as a lot of the rom-coms of the ’90s and aughts, but there’s something zesty and bracing about how it channels the anti-romanticism of the Tinder-meets-MeToo generation.

I just loved this movie… Saw it twice already. The leads are obviously great but many of the side characters just had me rolling in my seat. I would recommend this to any romcom fan.

This movie was one I hadn't expected to be so good but I thoroughly enjoyed it and the chemistry on screen between Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney was on point. This is a great romantic comedy with many fun moments of comedy and shock alike and the allure of pretending to be in a fake relationship with a person they found magnetically attractive at meeting then developed a serious case of mutual detest makes for a fun watch that I found quite enjoyable. Undoubtedly the lead characters have a cute evolving connection that made it a good film for rom com fans.

It’s a satisfying return to the genre from Gluck, a promising feature-length script debut from Wolpert, and an intriguing first outing from Sweeney and Powell. The two stars have the stuff; it just needs some more refining before round two.
Anyone But You isn’t terrible, or a travesty. It’s eh-notherthing ehltogether.
At the very least, it’s not Shakespeare. It’s not even “10 Things I Hate About You.”
Anyone But You is about as close as Hollywood can get to a rom-com that works these days. Which is to say, “Not terribly close,” even though it’s not exactly terrible.
It's early 2000s rom-com all over again release in recent time and the differences is that Anyone But You was actually one of the good callbacks to it, it's the one that made pure from the hearts from everybody's working on it, the film was so much fun, it's funny, it's entertaining, it's heartwarming, and it's well acted, Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney chemistry was perfect and not that i've seen before, full love hate relationship efforts and chemistry that's really working that it made me became one of the people who now actually want them together because they're love hate relationship convince me enough and it's great, the rest of the cast were also fun, and when it's sweet it's sweet, some criticism that i have with the movie was although it's only 103 minutes short i do felt it became a bit too long towards the end but still overall i have a really good time with Anyone But You, it's not one of those cheesy no chemistry rom-com callbacks that are randomly made with no hearts, they actually do poured it in this one and it works.

Fun, but not good. The writing is far from good, there are plenty of cringe scenes. The film shows us rich people and makes us want to experience the things, only the rich can. On the other hand the movie is so much fun and joy, but sometimes they went a little too far with the jokes. The film tries to build on the beauty of the whole cast, but I think that was a mistake. Every person in this film has no real problem. They look beautiful, they have people to love and they have money. Even though the movie tells you that Bea (Sydney Sweeney) has problems with her life, it does not seem real, because she can do whatever she wants. Overall it isn't a bad film, but it's far from good.
Report
I give this movie an average score because it has created lots of forced coincidences to push the script. The script started off well with a misunderstanding between the lead characters with the whole movie playing out to see the issue solved, but it could have played out better.
Not so bad. It was watchable.

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell are a great duo. I've always liked them both as well as Alexandra Shipp who is always great. But the script is short on substance and style and that's the problem. If a rom com isn't emotionally engaging like Crazy Rich Asians, or isn't flat out funny like Meet the **** or touching like 50 First Dates, then it becomes a messy attempt at trying to get to that sweet spot of blending tight writing, complete character development, and a delicious emotional center, all the things Anything But You lacks. Too bad cause I'm always rooting for Powell and Sweeney as actors. Better films await.

More like "Anything But This" when I decided to watch this in a theater, but slightly uprated it since Sydney is in it.
