Anyone But You is a decidedly formulaic romantic comedy that takes its inspiration from Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. Directed by Will Gluck (Easy A), there’s a level of raunchiness not often seen in mainstream rom-coms. Further, there is a lack of chemistry between the two leads, which undermines the story.

After an amazing first date, Bea (Sydney Sweeney) and Ben (Glen Powell) seem like the perfect couple. However, something happens that turns their white-hot attraction ice cold—until they find themselves unexpectedly thrust together at a destination wedding in Australia. Bea’s sister and Ben’s friend are getting married, and they both find themselves invited. So, they do what any two mature adults would do: pretend to be a couple.

The couple aren’t convincing when loving or hating each other. There’s a flatness in their portrayals that prevents us from believing or caring about them. The ending is obvious from the start. Thankfully, there are many beautiful shots of Australia to keep viewers occupied as the slight screenplay moves along. If done right, Anyone But You could have harkened back to the screwball comedies of the 1930’s. Instead, it falls flat, being neither funny nor romantic.

Presented in the 2.39:1 aspect ratio, Anyone But You looks fabulous on 4K. The film’s most memorable attribute is the excellent cinematography, with lots of wide-angle views of the Australian landscape. Depth is wonderful, particularly during a scene when the characters are on a boat. Colors are stunning in every scene. Blacks are inky throughout. Flesh tones are natural throughout. There are no scratches or other anomalies throughout. The stunning look of Anyone But You proves why a majority of new films should be given a 4K release.

Given a Dolby Atmos soundtrack, this dialogue heavy film doesn’t sound a whole lot different from the DTS-HD MA 5.1 track found on the previous Blu-ray release. Even so, the surrounds do a good job of spreading out music cues. Dialogue is clean, clear, and concise throughout. There are no pops or other anomalies apparent.

English SDH subtitles are included.

An audio commentary and a theatrical trailer has been added to the extras available on the previous Blu-ray release.
