Anyone But You 2023
Anyone But You (2023) is a modern R-rated romantic comedy directed by Will Gluck and starring Sydney Sweeney (Bea) and Glen Powell (Ben). Loosely inspired by Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, the story follows a “meet‑cute” in Boston that turns sour, only for the pair to reunite at a destination wedding in Australia. To keep peace (and stir jealousy), they pretend to be a couple—until real feelings make things complicated .🗣️ What Critics Say RogerEbert.com: "Charm, wit, swoony romance… star chemistry… missing from recent rom‑coms". Vanity Fair: Despite glossy visuals and attractive leads, the romance and comedy fall flat; chemistry feels “forced” The Guardian: Looks like early‑2000s rom‑com but lacks heart or depth; leads are too polished to spark true conflictAudience opinions are polarizing—some praise the leads and charm, while others criticize the script and lack of realism.🍿 Should You Watch It? ✅ If you're drawn to stylish, modern “enemies‑to‑lovers” rom‑coms with sizzling chemistry and glossy production. ⚠️ If you prefer emotionally grounded characters, believable dialogue, and deeper narrative stakes, it might feel too polished or shallow.💰 Box Office Performance Anyone But You was a major box-office success, especially for a mid-budget rom‑com: Domestic (US & Canada): $88.3 million International: $131.7 million Worldwide Total: $220–220.3 millionThis impressive haul amounts to about 8.8× its $25 million production budget, making it one of the highest‑grossing R‑rated romantic comedies in recent years, and the top live‑action adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing. Its strong international performance—especially in markets like Australia, the UK, and Germany—alongside sustained momentum fueled by social‑media buzz, helped it surpass the $200 million mark and stand out in a genre often underrepresented at the box office.🎯 Conclusion Anyone But You (2023) is a glossy, modern rom-com that found surprising box office success thanks to its star chemistry, sexy humor, and viral marketing. While critics gave it mixed reviews—often citing a shallow script and lack of emotional depth—audiences largely embraced its charm and fun. It’s not a groundbreaking film, but for fans of flirty, enemies-to-lovers romances with scenic backdrops and light-hearted vibes, it delivers exactly what it promises: an entertaining, easy watch.
