Glen Powell’s Anyone But You Success Isn't Surprising – His 6-Year-Old Netflix Rom-Com With 92% On RT Is Even Better

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT It should come as no surprise that Glen Powell makes such a great leading man in his massively successful rom-com Anyone But You, considering his first rom-com from 2018 is even better. Directed and co-written by Will Gluck, Anyone But You is loosely based on Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing and follows Ben and Bea , two embittered foes who pretend to be together at a wedding for each other's benefit.

Director Claire Scanlon Release Date June 15, 2018 Cast Zoey Deutch , Glen Powell , Lucy Liu , Taye Diggs Runtime 105 Minutes In 2018, Powell made his rom-com debut in the Netflix film Set It Up opposite his Everybody Wants Some!! co-star Zoey Deutch. Directed by Claire Scanlon in her feature directorial debut, Set It Up follows two overworked, underpaid assistants, Charlie Young and Harper Moore , who both work for demanding workaholics in the same building.

Set It Up received high praise for mastering the tried-and-true rom-com formula while breathing new life into the genre. Powell and Deutch's natural, electrifying chemistry was also highlighted by critics and audiences alike. Set It Up boasts a whopping 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes, a rarity for any rom-com, especially in the late 2010s when the genre had begun to suffer. While Anyone but You has its own strengths, it doesn't quite deliver the same quality or charm as Set It Up.
