Aesthetics: A Blast from the Past
Picture this: Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell in a rom-com that looks like it’s time-traveled from the early 2000s. The nostalgia is so thick you can practically taste the frosted tips and hear the distant echoes of “Bye Bye Bye” in the background. It’s a visual feast, a throwback extravaganza that makes you wonder if your DVD player is still in the attic.
The Bard’s Influence: Love, Hate, and More Grilled Cheese
Shakespeare’s ghost makes a cameo, influencing the plot like a cosmic cupid with questionable matchmaking skills. Sweeney’s law student, Bea, and Powell’s finance bro, Ben, embark on a journey of love, hate, and a surprising amount of grilled cheese. Forget ‘will they, won’t they?’ The real question is, ‘will the cheese be perfectly melted?’
Sex Appeal vs. Relatability: The Rom-Com Dilemma
In a departure from rom-com norms, our leads aren’t just likable; they’re steamy, with a capital S. Sweeney and Powell sizzle on screen, perhaps more suited for a beach photoshoot than navigating the quirks of a rom-com. While their appeal is undeniable, the film leaves us craving a deeper connection beyond the surface-level attractiveness.
Directorial Dilemmas: More than Dolls Kissing, Please
Will Gluck, the maestro behind “Friends With Benefits,” attempts to turn his leads into more than just swimwear models. Yet, it feels like watching a kid forcing two dolls to kiss—uncomfortable and lacking the genuine romantic tension we signed up for. Can’t we have a bit more substance with our eye candy, Mr. Gluck?
The Shakespearean Stumble: When Rom-Com Meets a Farce
The Bard’s influence isn’t all roses. The attempt to blend age-old farce with modern rom-com sensibilities feels like trying to dance the tango while juggling watermelons—distracting and, at times, messy. Quotes are clumsily thrown in, serving as more of a reminder of the Anyone But You Movie Review lofty ambitions than clever additions to the narrative.
Conclusion: Rom-Com Magic or Just Smoke and Mirrors?
Anyone But You Movie Review dazzles with rom-com sleekness but falls short of creating the magical spark that defines the genre’s classics. It’s a fun ride, no doubt, with grilled cheese mishaps and Shakespearean nods, but we’re left wondering if the film will be more than just a fleeting date night.
So, grab your popcorn, prepare for a whirlwind romance, and remember: sometimes, it’s not just about anyone; it’s about finding ‘the one.’ Whether Anyone But You Movie Review manages to do that? Well, let’s just say the rom-com jury is still out.
