“Anyone But You”

8.6

There’s a thin line between love and hate…

In the running for Best rom-com of the year for me… This was WAY better than I expected it to be. And not just because of Sydney Sweeney. Or because it’s cuffing season and I’m a hopeless romantic.

The chemistry within the perfectly assembled cast is off the charts, and really takes an already great story to the next level. There’s an authenticity in this one that is missing from so many romantic comedies that cause them to fall flat. Even the steamier scenes have a surprising silliness and playfulness that permeates the rest of the film. No matter how cheesy the scene, the cast is bought in 110%, and that comes across on the big screen. Not me getting misty-eyed from laughter and “jeez, movie… I didn’t need to be attacked like that” moments. And the credits montage… Chef’s kiss*

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be doing sit-ups until my next movie review in an attempt to match Glen Powell’s 8 pack. Looking to also get “hot girl fit.”
