Sophomore Leila Munoz shares her thoughts about the movie, ”I really liked Anyone But You. It was a super good movie. I actually watched it twice and liked it even more than I already did the first time. I also really liked the serenity song “Unwritten”. It made the movie way more fun. Although I do feel like it was super modernized so it wasn’t as romantic vs the other romcoms in the past so I’m not completely sure if it is the new romcom of the decade but it’s definitely up there.”
Freshman Kenzie Row also says, “I definitely do think that it was the new romcom of the decade especially after all the rage on Tiktok about how good it is, it was kind of hard to not think that is wasn’t the movie of the decade. I have recommended this movie to many of my friends and it doesn’t disappoint. My favorite part of the movie was when Ben jumped into the ocean to save Bea. It really just reminded me of good old romance.”
Saints scroll posted a poll on Instagram about whether the saints believed “Anyone but you” was or was not the new movie of the decade. The results were 27 yes and 32 no. Definitely a shock based off of all the other social media posts that say otherwise.
