The film ticks all the boxes of a sweet rom-com film, making a significant impact on pop culture.

it wasn’t too bad at all.. the writing/everything was solid outside of the main two characters, but they’re both sculptures so it’s cool

While the fans have been talking about how good the film was, considering their chemistry in the film, everybody was dead sure that the main cast was dating. However, Sweeney ended the rumors by shedding light on their relationship.
Sydney Sweeney Invalidates Dating Rumors With Glen Powell
The rom-com film has been a massive success, which reminded the viewers of the early 2000s when the films featured major stars as their sole ingredient for a smash-hit blockbuster. However, that was not the case for Anyone But You, as many speculated that Powell and Sweeney would start dating. The Devotion actor broke up with Gigi Paris, and the flirtatious interviews of him and the Madame Web star together only made the rumors to be more rampant.
However, Sydney Sweeney did eventually debunk these speculations. During an exclusive interview with Glamour, Sweeney clarified that the speculations of them dating were untrue as she opened up about her long-time relationship wwith fiance, Jonathan Davino.
“Everyone is always so curious about who I’m with and what’s that like, but I think it’s important to have something for me… I’ve been in a steady relationship for a really long time, which is not normal in this industry and not normal for my age. What I’ve noticed about the idea of celebrity is people really love to build someone up, and then tear them down.”
Nevertheless, the film was a massive hit, leaving the fans optimistic enough for a second sequel.
Anyone But You can be watched in theatres near you.
