Romantic Escapism with a Modern Twist
24 February 2024
Anyone But You (2023) isn't a film I'd typically choose for myself, but it proved to be a good pick for watching with my significant other.

The film is lighthearted, filled with intentionally over-the-top moments and absurd situations. Nothing is meant to be taken seriously, yet the creators manage to avoid going completely off the rails, keeping the film somewhat grounded in reality.

Production values evoke romantic comedies of the late 90s and early 2000s, but with stunning Australian vistas and an abundance of beautiful people, both clothed and unclothed.

While life is obviously more complex than the story, if you're willing to let go and enjoy the emotional journey with the characters, the film will leave a pleasant, short-lived impression.

However, this film is best viewed with someone who makes your heart skip a beat. Watching solo, surrounded by all these attractive people and their seemingly perfect lives, might sting.
