Welcome to Girl Culture, the newsletter where Caroline Siede examines pop culture, feminism, and more. Hello six seasons of Survivor. And since things have been a little quieter on Girl Culture than I intended recently something I very much intend to change in the coming months , I thought this was the perfect time to delve into one of my biggest rom-com blindspots: Anyone But You. Sure, it was popular. But is it good? I figured the best way to find out was to live blog my initial viewing of this modern-day Shakespeare riff.
Sorry, but if you need a man to help you worm your way into using a coffee shop bathroom, you are not a relatable female protagonist to me. Show some initiative, Sydney Sweeney! Which is something I feel like it entirely hid from its trailers? Hmm, okay, this feels like an egregious amount of hatred between Bea and Ben for a one-night fling that happened six months ago.
What are the economics of this family? So much so that the movie has to give them both other exes to pine over, which feels like a weirdly convoluted workaround. Okay, Bea being one step ahead of the manipulation is a good twist. On the other hand, I think Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell are fundamentally too hot and nubile to play Beatrice and Benedick so maybe this is for the best. Relatedly: Glen Powell is also too hot for me to believe that this hot Australian guy is making him feel insecure.
On a boat, sailing back and forth for no real transportational reason. This Sydney Harbour overboard sequence is the best Sweeney and Powell have been this whole movie. Also, how does a 16th-century play have more interesting themes of gender and patriarchy than this film? Did I fundamentally misunderstand the timeline of this movie?
But unlike Easy A and Friends With Benefits, which papered over their more rote plot points with phenomenal casting, Anyone But You has a pretty big gap when it comes to its leading lady.
