Key opinion
Anyone But You is widely regarded as a lightweight, formulaic romantic comedy that serves as a functional, if forgettable, piece of entertainment. While the bright Australian scenery and the chemistry between the leads are often praised, the script's reliance on clichés and uneven comedic choices leaves many viewers feeling it lacks the spark of genre classics.
| Cinematography | The film utilizes sunlit Australian locations to provide a vibrant, aesthetically pleasing backdrop that enhances its vacation-like atmosphere. | |
| Adaptation | The script attempts to integrate Shakespearean elements from Much Ado About Nothing, but these references are frequently criticized as forced and lacking in narrative substance. | |
| Acting | Opinions on the lead performances are divided: supporters find the chemistry between Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney credible and charming, while detractors argue they lack genuine spark or find the character work unappealing. | |
| Humor | The humor is polarizing, with some finding the film genuinely amusing and relaxing, while others criticize its reliance on crude, formulaic, or juvenile gags. | |
| Screenplay | The screenplay is widely viewed as predictable and derivative, succeeding as a functional genre exercise while failing to offer any real originality or distinction. |
