It seems like every year or so, there is a new pop culture proclamation that the romantic comedy is “back.” The movie in question this time around is Anyone But You, which has all the key ingredients needed for a successful romcom: a beautiful setting, tropes aplenty, and a pair of incredibly good-looking protagonists. They are, of course, Top Gun: Maverick actor and Men’s Health cover star Glen Powell, and Sydney Sweeney, star of HBO hit dramas Euphoria and The White Lotus.

Powell and Sweeney play Ben and Bea, two old acquaintances from college who once went on a disastrous first date together, and now can’t stand each other. When they’re both invited to the same destination wedding in Australia, an occasion that will also be attended by each of their respective smug exes, Ben and Bea grudgingly agree to pretend to be a couple in order to save face.

Anyone But You is based on the play Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare, arguably the first incarnation of the enemies-to-lovers trope and a blueprint for the sparky banter on which every romantic comedy lives or dies. Whether or not Will Gluck and Ilana Wolpert’s script can recapture the playful spirit of its source material remains to be seen, but audiences can rest assured that they will at least see some crackling chemistry between the two leads: Powell and Sweeney got along so well during filming that their friendship actually sparked rumors of a romance which turned out to be false.
