Anyone But You | Movie Review | Ep 291

[@xingcat]

The first full-length play I wrote was an adaptation of "Much Ado About Nothing" that was set in Provincetown, and I didn't know how to adapt anything, so I basically went beat-for-beat but changing the characters to LGBTQ people in modern day (it was the 1990s), and the one review I got in the paper said it was like sitting on the Titanic as it sank just to hear the band play. I suspect my version was better than this.

[@clara-nt9rx]

Hey that means the band was good!

[@mkatnic2486]

Good for you! I genuinely believe that your version was better😂

[@iain9757]

Why didn’t she immediately said after the giant wrench line “oh it’s not because you’re a massive tool?!”

[@bastioncory6740]

I will NOT have any "Unwritten" slander, lol. That's a great song. Natasha Bedingfield is a national treasure.

[@alexanderluna4598]

It wasnt the song, it was how it was used in the movie lol it was meant to be annoying.

[@sophiaako7663]

I was maybe 9 when it came out so it's highly nostalgic, but I do think it holds up as a feel-good song that's great to sing along to

[@sophiaako7663]

Oh wow, I just checked and I was 4 when it came out.

[@idontthink]

Funny thing about helicopter rescues in Australia is that they happen a lot and you actually do not pay for your rescue. It is covered by the government - there are some companies that provide sponsorships and they also get donations from the public.

[@MovieBitches]

Amazing!! So jealous of a functioning society!

[@gabymaceira3866]

“You’re hot-don’t pretend to like carbs too!” I’m dying 😭

[@effyelvira]

I mean Melissa Joan Hart getting called grandma was kind of devastating for my 30 yo heart

[@sophiaako7663]

Don't worry, Sydney Sweeney is only 4 years younger than you and Glen Powell is 5 years older

[@joeycrunch]

Avaryl’s “AustrALIA?!” was giving real “Natalie PORTman?!” energy 😂👏🏼

[@re2355]

Wait wait not them using a metal spatula on a non stick pan for the grilled cheese 😭

[@pauliboyx]

funny enough natasha bedingfield’s song pocketful of sunshine is featured in easy a

[@My-hat]

Why is there an ATM With a chain around it in his apartment? Is it supposed to be an art piece?? It’s just an UGLY old ass ATM

[@unoriginalobsessed]

oh god Andrew’s mention of Anne Hathaway just reminded me of her new upcoming movie (“the idea of you” on amazon prime 5/2) and i hope i get to hear y’all’s opinions on it PLS it’s based on a novel that was basically inspired by harry styles dating older women (which i have heard is Trash) so… interested in seeing how it plays out edit: felt it important to mention it’s directed by michael showalter!

[@bloggerblogg5878]

Her last 2 movie was trash too. Eileen and She came to me, totally garbage, but not in a good way. Don't waste your time with these movies. Only good point she has a fabulous kitchen in She came to me.

[@iain9757]

@@bloggerblogg5878you forgot “Mothers' Instinct” but I guess that speaks for itself

[@iain9757]

From the trailer there was a bit of a line about how “his fans won’t like you” or something like that and that could be really interesting if it was actually a series look because he’s a teen heartthrob he sorta “treats her more like a person because she is mature and doesn’t care about him as a singer” but it won’t be that at all

[@patrickbraue4644]

The Kenneth Branaugh version is the superior version of Much Ado!! Also the hand prints on the cabinets… how … their positioning doesn’t make any sense?!?

[@gryrabild]

Much Ado is my absolute favourite and I’m always hungry for different versions of it, even sorta shitty modern adaptations of it usually bring me some joy, but this one is the first where I’ve just gone “…..No thank you”.

[@huntress_9441]

Rachel Griffiths did a topless protest when they were trying to open Crown Casino in Melbourne circa 1997. She's a legend.

[@beccabattalio]

I didn’t see the marketing for this movie, so I was just steady annoyed this was taking up space at my cinema. I will be going to see the 25 year re-release of the Mummy instead.

[@iain9757]

As a Brit I was more confused. Why was this movie coming out winter? Why was the poster just them on that sailboat ? If I wanted to look at Glen Powell naked I could rewatch Scream Queens

[@ashleighcalvert8937]

The studio didn’t believe in it because they have decided rom coms cant be profitable

[@RR-qz3zg]

Is there a world where this movie could’ve been done with an older couple with more seasoned leads?

[@MeganSin]

When I found out this was based off of much ado, I was like hard pass. Would rather watch the Kenneth Branagh’s version because Emma was so gorgeous and tan and perfect in that movie and Keanu’s performance is so bad it’s hilarious! I want a retro review for that movie!

[@OffKiraDeux]

First Avaryl nudges Andrew to watch this, now Andrew will push Avaryl to watch Madame Webb. Beautiful. I'm glad I watched the trailer and I knew it would be shit, and not in an enjoyable way. Avaryl did make me think of Easy A, a movie I liked fine but yeah, there's something off about it. But Friends With Benefits, uff - you wanna talk robots trying to approximate bottom of the barrel normal human behavior, look no further. Awful.

[@JacobSolbux]

did you call him Dermot Mcdermot? haha!

[@mk-mt9yv]

You're new here...haha

[@andra-rossanasasso4144]

I could not parse how much exercising they did in this movie. Is this normal? We're either biking, hiking, swimming, running, yoga....in ill-fitting bras.

[@mookieentertainment6478]

You sure this wasn’t a romantic comedy parody script that was rewritten to be a normal romantic comedy 😂

[@jadab.3255]

Glen Powell can also act so idk what happened in this movie

[@TheSweetneocon]

Lmao who wrote this fanfic Also, “Did they fuck?” “Belt ON - so no!” had me rolling

[@gilda388]

can't believe you guys didn't bring up when Sydney and her ex are at the inexplicable giant chess set and bronze statue guy looks at them longinly while they very gingerly knock the pieces down

[@huntress_9441]

My mum gave that to me, for exposition!

[@Sandy-gg7to]

The costuming in Branagh's version makes me crazy! Did they only have one bolt each of white and tan linen for the entire cast?! So many missed opportunities for Italian textiles I could cry

[@believer773]

Avryls face in the thumbnail truly expresses the expression of oppression this garbage pile of a movie expressed from it's teats. Glen Powell could absolutely get it though

[@johngaudet7363]

Glen Powell as well as the intact surfer dude

[@sarahvanzyl9180]

I laughed out loud when you mentioned Ryan Gosling singing… finally someone said it 😂 I did NOT get the hype

[@serenityq26]

O.M.G!!!! that is the same song from Easy A. now knowing that its the same director.........WOW! and that song is timeless! we were just vibing on it on a podcast a few weeks ago. songs with GOOD messages never go out of style! YAAAAAAASSS NATASHA BEDDINGFIELD!

[@bastioncory6740]

"Pocketful of Sunshine" is the song in "Easy A."

[@Val.Killmonger]

His mother was a Mario Brother...RIP

[@vevlet]

Ok I absolutely have a gripe with the coffee scene because what makes coffee good in Australia is the high standards and the great baristas! NOT just the beans like the movie implies

[@GAZMAN2002]

The Proposal is fantastic Sandy Bullock and Betty White need I say more

[@beccabattalio]

Omg that episode of Frasier is so good.

[@TheLrcoffey]

THANK UUUUUUU, I couldn’t bring myself to watch it, so glad I have you guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tydelwave]

The romantic charismatic lead you’re looking for is _Zac Efron_ (But with his old/pre-accident face. The new one will do of course, but that’s what you want.)

[@mollyross888]

Sydney Sweeney is this generation’s Elizabeth Berkley

[@clara-nt9rx]

She was great in white lotus

[@bloggerblogg5878]

This video made me re-watch Much Ado About Nothing, with Kenneth Branagh, it is so good!

[@LiveAsDiva]

Finally... I know this movie gonna be roasted to the holy hell... Still kinda love it tho... Unfortunately the ending is blah for me wkakakak... Love you guys

[@gretchenbaker7435]

Coffee is better in New Zealand guys.

[@MovieBitches]

Can’t wait to try it!

[@hedwigkiesler]

His mom & the wrench....made me think instantly of Rose's story of her mom once dating Andy Granatelli

[@christiandorr1546]

Glen Powell is a horrible actor. Sydney Sweeney is a good TV actress.

[@gaya3sree]

The Natasha Bedingfield 'unwritten' bit was an 'Easy A' call back. Easy A has a famous scene about Natasha Bedingfield's 'Pocket full of Sunshine'

[@hacsacka]

The perfect modern script adaptation of much ado about nothing was the BBC Shakespeare retold version from 2005. A local TV news station, Beatrice and Benedick as co-hosts with history who hate each other played by Sarah Parish and Damien Lewis. The producer ropes everyone into trying to get them to resolve their beef to save the show (clear motivation!) and the way they update the weird Hero and Claudio plotline played by Billie Piper and Claudio really works! I was obsessed with it as a teenager. Also I can't get over the fact that a lot of the hype around this movie was a rumour the leads were having an affair when they had ZERO chemistry!!

[@bojkowski]

Is Sydney Sweeney doing the one-on-one-off thing? You know crap film to bring in the money, then do an indie barely anyone sees but it actually pretty good (i.e. She was great in Reality-did she produce that as well?)

[@logandodson1484]

I love the omnipotent edit immediately contradicting Andrew’s prediction RE: The Pope’s Exorcist lol

[@hadiboom-7655]

Good review guys thanks

[@TOAGamer1]

I have got to remember to wait till you guys review a movie before I spend money to watch a movie

[@GrainneMhaol]

I recommend the modernised 'Shakespeare Retold' version of Much Ado starring Damien Lewis. It's free on KZbin and it's more fun than this looks.

[@malalias3772]

Oh i ate this movie up it was such a fun theatre experience for me. It did feel like ai at times tho lol

[@madisonsorrelle2941]

I love when your reviews come out and you think the same things I did while watching it 😂 I did not enjoy this movie but the friend I saw it with loved it and thought they had so much chemistry together. I’ve felt like I was crazy for months!

[@GAZMAN2002]

I'm assuming it was made in Australia because of Covid many show and movies where because of lock downs

[@Tyrant1x]

Maybe it's better in context but the clips are painful.

[@eloise8644]

would love to see a the proposal retro review 👀

[@basketca2]

I can't believe Glen Powell lost his girlfriend to promote this piece of garbage. I hope he got a massive paycheck!

[@trisf1589]

i didn't see the movie but had to watch your review! you're always amazing, i had good laughs with you guys!

[@oscarbrierley5369]

This is much better if you know nothing about much ado about nothing

[@GAZMAN2002]

Hot people shouldn't speak Glen Powell is insufferable that airplane scene I can't watch this movie now. The bad Australian accents.

[@freddiegrace3770]

I am so glad this awful movie was made just so I can watch you guys review it! I just watched this movie on a slow Sunday afternoon, and I could not get over how fucking bad it was, and now I am so confused how it made so much money!! It was not fun, funny, interesting, moving, or even sexy! It has nothing!

[@iain9757]

I saw the clip where the parents learn about the school stuff and I just thought “WOW fuck all these people”

[@jackius71]

I'm not sure I disagree with anything that you said, but this movie really worked for me. Have had a similar conversation about Challengers - if you get on the groove of the film it *works*, if you don't it really, really doesn't.

[@tjfrizzi5965]

Sydney Sweeney is great in IMMACULATE. It's a thriller so Andrew might not be into it. But Avaryl may like it more. It has that Italian Giallo feel and a bit of Nunspoitation but not too campy. She was also a Producer on the movie.

[@MsBabyNovember]

Love the fraiser clip but i think it’s way more midsummer’s night dream than much ado

[@Vanessa-uo6lt]

i'm so shocked i hadn't heard this movie is loosely based on maan?!?!?! it's by far my favorite shakespeare, so i'm actually happy they didn't market it that way because that would've made me go see it, and i'd be disappointed. and yes maan 1993 supremacy, but in terms of maan on stage, i'd also like to recommend the globe's 2011 production of maan, it's so good!!! the shakespeare in the park one is very fun too!!!!

[@paspetunia]

Thanks for the review this movie popped up on Netflix and I have it on my watchlist after this I will be removing it. 😂 It sounds horrible.

[@boopbeep8]

lmao Shannel

[@joeycrunch]

Hahaha I read this comment exactly at that moment of the review 😹💀

[@martingomezmarinich7059]

So happy I didnt watch this "movie". But yesterday I watched the holdovers and girl let me tell you. I loveddd that movie. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@serenityq26]

i liked it. sorry you guys couldnt enjoy it. glenn carried the romantic couple of it all but i think everyone did a decent job. only complaint i have is i do think it dragged a bit, like take off 10 minutes and it would be perfect.

[@clara-nt9rx]

You guys need to review madam web.

[@MovieBitches]

Coming soon

[@ashleighcalvert8937]

The return of “Meth…” was great

[@pickeju]

Just casually throwing out 'Dermott McDermott' like that isn't iconic...

[@carveylover]

I truly didn't think you guys were going to review this. Avryl seemed to hate it.

[@scottfree1870]

Anyone have a link to that lady's rant about having a real guy in movies? :-)

[@bloggerblogg5878]

His mom should gave him a screwdriver, you can fix more things with it😉, than with a wrench.

[@bloggerblogg5878]

21:43 oh no!!!! this is "hot guy" from that series...Never Have I Ever

[@muffinman472]

The dude is so “handsome” that he’s boring as shit to look at

[@GAZMAN2002]

Watch the series Barracuda Rachel Griffiths is excellent also who doesn't want a show about queer swimming athletes

[@MT-or3kz]

We need the Challengers review by Monday. Thanks.

[@demidaemon1982]

Hot take: "Adaptations" are almost always hit garbage.

[@RichardApperition]

Glenn Powell has always been hot to me just saying

[@johngaudet7363]

He looked amazing in this. I really enjoyed him and the Australian surfer guy together lol

[@kateinthegrass]

my. thoughts. exactly.

[@GiannaFregosi]

every time I see russel crowe on the motorcycle from the Popes exorcist he riminds me of the two fat ladies, getting close to ep 300! any plans for ep 300?

[@DonnaLuuuu]

I think Meg Ryan could've fixed this movie

[@Marcus99999]

Haha love your review!

[@danjlp9155]

So this adaptation didn’t even have any good bickering between the leads? I’m out

[@lazilysofia5904]

in my opinion the editing was AWFUL

[@mghnzilla]

if i was sydney sweeney i would refuse to wear those bras!! honestly offensive

[@baconx2690]

where is the james mcavoy romcom?! that man is cute, funny, charismatic and hot but not instagram hot T_T
