Anyone But You (2023)
Hot? Yes. Bothered? Also yes.
The biggest romcom at the global box office since 2016, Anyone But You was up for Comedy Movie of the Year at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards, where co-stars Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria, The White Lotus) and Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick, Hit Man) were both nominated for Comedy Movie Star of the Year.
Bea and Ben look like they’d be the perfect couple. But after an amazing first date, something turns their fiery hot attraction ice cold – until they find themselves unexpectedly thrust together at a destination wedding in Australia. So they do what any two mature adults would do: pretend to be a couple.
GQ says, “Sweeney and Powell are delightful, as well as smokin’, in this loose adaptation of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, one of the most charming big screen rom-coms in years.”
Directed by Golden Globe nominee Will Gluck (Easy A, Friends with Benefits), Anyone But You also stars Teen Choice nominee Alexandra Shipp (Barbie), Hadley Robinson (Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty), Michelle Hurd (Blindspot, Star Trek: Picard), Dermot Mulroney (Secret Invasion, Scream VI, My Best Friend’s Wedding), Darren Barnet (Never Have I Ever, Gran Turismo) and Oscar nominee Rachel Griffiths (Muriel’s Wedding).
