Anyone but you - itw Sydney Sweeney And Glen Powell (Official video)

Anyone but You is a romantic comedy that has taken the world by storm with its heartwarming blend of humor, romance and Shakespearean inspiration. Starring the dynamic duo Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, under the deft direction of Will Gluck and with a screenplay co-written with Ilana Wolpert, the film was released in U.S. cinemas on December 22, 2023.
Anyone but You tells the charming story of Bea, played by Sydney Sweeney, a law student at Boston University, and Ben, played by the charismatic Glen Powell, a finance professional at Goldman Sachs. Their chance meeting in a café triggers an instant connection, leading to a day of laughter and romance, culminating in a memorable re-enactment of a scene from the Titanic that sets the stage for their budding relationship.
However, this budding relationship takes an unexpected turn when Bea catches Ben making unflattering remarks about her. The two part ways, but cross paths again six months later, thanks to the budding romance between Bea's sister Halle (Hadley Robinson) and Pete's (GaTa) sister Claudia (Alexandra Shipp). Sparks fly as Bea and Ben navigate their icy relationship, each blaming the other for the unhappy ending to their first date.
As fate would have it, Halle and Claudia decide to get married in Sydney, Australia, which leads to a series of comic mishaps. Bea, who has secretly dropped out of law school and recently ended her engagement, discovers that not only is Ben on the same flight to Australia, but they'll also be staying at Claudia and Pete's parents' house until the wedding.
The ensuing acrimony between Bea and Ben begins to frustrate the other members of the wedding party, amplified by the unexpected appearances of Ben's ex-girlfriend Margaret (Charlee Fraser) and Bea's ex-fiancé Jonathan (Darren Barnet). To smooth things over and make sure the wedding goes off without a hitch, the other wedding attendees hatch a plan to get Bea and Ben back together.
What follows is a delightful sequence of events in which Bea and Ben reluctantly agree to pretend to be a couple. Their initial efforts to sell this fake relationship run into comic difficulties, until a party on a boat offers them the perfect opportunity to show off their chemistry. A dance together and a playful re-enactment of the Titanic scene culminate in Bea's fall into Sydney Harbour, leading to a heartfelt and heartwarming conversation between her and Ben as they wait to be rescued on a buoy.
As the plot thickens, secrets are revealed, emotions run high and the wedding festivities turn into a rollercoaster of unexpected twists and turns. The film's climax at the Sydney Opera House, where Bea and Ben reconcile after a series of misunderstandings, is both poignant and satisfying. The supporting cast, including Alexandra Shipp, GaTa, Michelle Hurd, Dermot Mulroney and Rachel Griffiths, contribute to the film's charm with their excellent performances.
Anyone but You not only captured the hearts of audiences, but also proved to be a box-office success in the USA. With $57.6 million at the box office in the U.S. and Canada, and $22.8 million in other territories, the film has a worldwide total of $80.4 million as of January 16, 2024. Its success testifies to the enduring appeal of romantic comedies and the universal themes explored in the film.
Anyone but You is a delightful addition to the romantic comedy genre, offering a perfect blend of humor, romance and Shakespearean inspiration. Audiences looking for a heartwarming and entertaining cinematic experience shouldn't miss this charming film, currently playing in cinemas across the country.
