Viewers already love Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney. Now the two of them are falling in love on screen as they star in the romantic comedy, Anyone But You.
This movie hails from the director of Easy A and looks to offer the classic rom-com formula of enemies to friends to, presumably, a couple. There's also some fun backstory to the pairing of Powell and Sweeney, as there were rumors that the two were romantically involved, though both actors denied those rumors and have current relationships with other people.
But you can see the two of them fall for each other in Anyone But You. Here is everything you need to know about the movie.
How to watch Anyone But You
Anyone But You is now streaming on Netflix in the US, but is also available to rent via digital on-demand platforms.
Anyone But You plot
With a script by Will Gluck and Ilana Wolpert, Anyone But You centers on two arch-nemeses who are forced to get along when attending a wedding.
Here is the official synopsis:
"In the comedy Anyone But You, Bea and Ben look like the perfect couple, but after an amazing first date something happens that turns their fiery hot attraction ice cold — until they find themselves unexpectedly thrust together at a destination wedding in Australia. So they do what mature adults would do — pretend to be a couple."
Anyone But You cast
Playing the lead roles of Ben and Bea are Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney, respectively.
Powell's star power has really risen in the last 10 years. Over that time he has starred in movies like The Expendables 3, Ride Along 2, Everybody Wants Some!! and Hidden Figures, but his most notable roles have come in the TV series Scream Queens and the 2022 blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick. He also has rom-com pedigree, starring in the charming Netflix movie Set It Up. Another one of his movies may come out in 2023, Hit Man, though no release plans have been announced.
Sweeney got her big break with a pair of hit series on HBO, first starring in Euphoria and then in the first season of The White Lotus; she earned Emmy nominations for her performance in each of those shows in 2022. Some of Sweeney's other credits to date include The Voyeurs, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Sharp Objects and The Handmaid's Tale.
The supporting cast for Anyone But You consists of Alexandra Shipp (Barbie, tick, tick… Boom!), GaTa (Dave, House Party), Hadley Robinson (Winning Time, The Pale Blue Eye), Michelle Hurd (Star Trek: Picard, Blindspot), Dermot Mulroney (Scream VI, Shooting Stars), Darren Barnet (Never Have I Ever, Gran Turismo), Bryan Brown (Gods of Egypt) and Rachel Griffiths (The Wilds).
