Romcoms are back! Take two extremely likable and young Hollywood rising stars with great chemistry, stuff it with humour, make it not just an emotional romantic blackmail and this recipe can't go wrong, and judging by the decent box office returns it worked. Never mind that in terms of plot it is nothing write home about, but it has a very feel good vibe, I love Sydney Sweeney (that cleavage of hers oh my God!) and Glen Powell is a likeable guy here too. The humour works, the emotions worked for me at the end and it's definitely a film I'll be happy to watch with the ladies. Enjoyable stuff. 8/10. (2024.02.25)

Anyone But You could easily be confused with any American romantic comedy, of which there is a plethora in the cinema every year. It's predictable cliché, with some outrageous overacting (the characters of the parents, for example), yet I quite enjoyed this (with its now almost mandatory LGBTQ, multicultural cast) in the cinema, partly due to the humorously parodic winking at Titanic or the sped-up version of Chris Hemsworth from Wish.

This was so terribly sweet and awesome that I actually can't remember when I've seen a funnier and cuter romantic comedy. Sydney Sweeney is great time again, and just about every supporting character around her was given ample space, each one fulfilling their role in the film exactly as they should (we have the main duo, the funny family trying to get it together, the central jerk, the best friend being high all the time... well, just the classic bunch that the audience expects and wants in this type of comedy). The idea is fun, the characters are delightful, and this balanced ratio of slapstick and humor is exactly the perfect recipe for perfectly light-hearted fun that will entertain just about everyone. A perfect thing that both lifted my spirits and made me laugh, and I have to say that I'll be happy to watch this again after a while. The chemistry between the two leads is perfect and other genre films should learn from this one, because this pulls the film right up to a full five stars. A joy. (2024.03.20)
