One of the bigger rom coms from 2023 is the entry for the June Swoon 3 today. Anyone But You was a very successful film, coming seemingly from nowhere. I would not be opposed if it were sent back there.

According to IMDB, “In the aftermath of a captivating first encounter, Bea and Ben discover that their initial fiery passion has inexplicably dwindled to frosty misunderstanding. However, fate intervenes: Thrown together again at a dreamy Australian wedding, they opt for a charade of coupledom. But sparks reignite amid the sun-kissed scenery, forcing them to confront their true feelings and embrace a second chance at love.“

Okay, so this is really dumb. It is the essence of a disposable film that means nothing. The plot is a poor soap opera story that I have literally seen before.

The only thing that makes this stand out is the arrival of two of the hotter stars in Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney.

Both of them have better films ahead of them. They are clearly charming and attractive. They have some comedic timing that would probably work much better with a better script.
