Imperfect, though 'Anyone But You' does deliver amusing moments and works nicely as a romcom.
It usually isn't the best sign when the end credits are a film's best bit, which is the case here (s/o Natasha Bedingfield!), though thankfully that statement is only an additional positive for this Will Gluck directed movie. It does do clichés, but does at least add some freshness to the genre.
Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell portray great chemistry, I enjoyed both performances. Sweeney's stylist killed it I gotta say, heck even Powell's too. Some of their, and others', dialogue is too manufactured at times, but that be just a minor complaint to be honest. The rest of those onscreen are satisfactory. I must say the director's father, Peter Gluck, gave me one of the film's stronger chuckles in his tiny role on the plane sat next to Sweeney - perfect line delivery!
I had fun with this. As already noted, it isn't anything all that standout but it delivered what I evidently wanted. Solid. The William Shakespeare stuff was a bit forced, mind you.

Nothing to offset Glen Powell
I was able to enjoy Set It Up, because there were characters there that offset the Glen Powell vibe, but this movie doesn't have that. I really don't know what it is about him that rubs me the wrong way, but even if he acts likeable, I can't stomach it.
Sydney Sweeney's character was ok, she played the part well, but her parents are another source of frustration. I don't know if GaTa can be called an actor, his line delivery was like reading from a paper.
The whole thing just didn't mix at all and had to drop when things got to Australia. Couldn't take it anymore.
