Anyone But You – a smiley solid albeit at times crass romcom that is nearly rescued by a patient koala but is ultimately much ado about nothing

While the overall construction of Anyone But You is solid and it’ll make you smile, it’s crying out to be written off as ‘much ado about nothing’ (upon which the story arc is based) and it will never make you cry like Richard Curtis can.

An ostentatiously wealthy wedding in Sydney with beach-ready guests – most of whom will find at least one opportunity to tip off most or all of their clothes – straight out of any number of Netflix shows set in Cape Cod or The Hamptons, a clumsy bride’s sister, a bloke who is half-scared fully-beefcake, misunderstandings galore, second chances that are blown, a DJ whose deck wasn’t plugged in, a very patient koala, and an unexpected (prosthetic?) anteater that was nowhere near as crude as the unnecessary down blouse shots.

Last year’s Rye Lane was a cheaper and better romcom!
