Anyone But You (2023)★ 6.7/10

This movie has its fun and funny moments, along with the usual romantic movie clichés. As for the actors' chemistry, it's incredible, so it's worth watching.

A lighthearted romantic comedy

Honestly, not that bad. And I'm not just saying that cause Sydney Sweeney is in it. Obviously, the leads are painfully hot. But the movie is anchored by its source material, that being Shakespeare. As such, the story is strong, even if the eye candy can be a little obtuse at times.

The plot is predictable, and the romance between the leads feel abrupt. However, the movie made my winter evening warm and cozy. With its beautiful cinematography, attractive cast, and unpretentious storytelling, it provides a relaxing and enjoyable viewing experience that deserves recognition.

Although the story leans heavily into melodrama and clichés, it still manages to charm audiences with its humor and romance. Adapted from Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing”, the film modernizes the tale, grounding it in a more relatable and contemporary setting.

Even if life isn't perfect, the beautiful moments it once had are still worth remembering and cherishing. This movie may seem like a farce, but the script is incredibly well-crafted. Every twist, every character's growth, and every heartwarming and exhilarating moment are all presented flawlessly. Watching the film feels like riding a roller coaster of emotions. It brings joy, anticipation, and satisfaction. It's truly a great example of a commercial rom-com.

This movie is somewhat refreshing, but it's still terrible and clichéd. The whole film is only slightly bearable because of Sydney Sweeney's charm. However, the two main characters are portrayed in an entirely predictable manner. It feels like we've seen these types of characters in countless other movies. Honestly, they just aren't interesting enough. Can't we have some unique and intriguing characters in this kind of film? I'm so tired of these flat and dull guys.

Finally, a mindless comedy! It's been ages since I've seen a movie like this! Nowadays, there's so much emphasis on depth, perspectives, and correctness. This movie feels like a blast from the past, straight out of the '90s or the early 2000s! It's superficial and cheesy but light-hearted and hilarious! It's rare to stumble upon films like this these days! Let's just say it's enjoyable to watch, and at least it's not so terrible that it leaves you angry or frustrated. The actors are easy on the eyes, with great physiques!

Just finished watching it, and I didn't find it as terrible as some people claim. Sure, the main actors' performances felt a bit forced, even childish at times, and the plotlines were over-the-top. But isn't this kind of soap opera-style film intended for mindless entertainment? It's visually pleasing, helps you unwind, with a happy ending. The songs are catchy, too. I'd give it a modest 8 out of 10. Overall, it's worth a watch.

This movie barely makes the cut; nothing really stands out. It feels like they just took the formula from classic romantic comedies in Hollywood, added a few twists, and tied it all up with a happy ending. But nowadays, that's just not sufficient. Sydney Sweeney is gorgeous; all the actresses in this film are attractive, and even the supporting cast is impressive. However, the male lead lacks the charisma of a true protagonist in this movie.

While marketed as a comedy, the entire film lacks a single emotionally mature adult, making it feel odd, as if watching two high schoolers bickering. The conflicts feel forced, and from a rational perspective, there's nothing truly worth arguing about in the storyline. Some comedic moments feel contrived, particularly the 'butt touching' scene in the jungle. Nonetheless, if you're merely seeking a film offering a pleasant ending and a parade of attractive faces to unwind with, then this romantic comedy might suit your needs.

It's fairly standard fare, with a decent quantity and quality of comedic moments. Watching it during the holiday season brings a decent amount of joy. The final segment, forgive me for saying, makes the female lead come off a bit overbearing. If she were at my wedding, to quote Monica, "You are totally stealing my thunder, bitch!"
