About a fifth of the way in to "Anyone But You," I jokingly thought they were doing "a 'Much Ado About Nothing' bit," then realized... they *were* essentially *doing* "Much Ado About Nothing" almost entirely (just omitting the antagonist aspect from the play).
The closest thing to a negative was their showing the "Much Ado About Nothing" title at the tail end, as though to say, "Get it? GET IT...?!" Sydney Sweeney is a natural comic actress, and she consistently knocks it out of the park with this film, which she also produced. This is a rom-com far superior to a lot of the genre. This is my first time seeing her in anything; turns out nearly everything on which she's worked I've not seen.
(I have soft spot for rom-coms, and certainly love slapstick comedy, and it didn't hurt in a few spots the film focused on the song "Unwritten," one of my top favourite songs (they don't do such end credits as they do here, which I always enjoy).)
