History Film / AnyoneButYou

* YouNeedToGetLaid: Almost everyone in both families, with the exception of Bea and Halle's parents, concludes that the only way they will keep Ben and Bea from ruining the wedding with their fighting is to get them to fuck each other's brains out.

* TheBardOnBoard: ''Much Ado About Nothing'', but focusing squarely on the Beatrice/Benedick romance with Claudio/Hero cut, and with NoAntagonist since the Don John character was cut.

* MeaningfulName: When Bea is updating her [=LinkedIn=] profile to show that she's dropped out of law school, it's revealed that her full name is Beatrice Messina. Messina is the city where ''Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing'' takes place.
* MoralityPet: Pete is this for Ben.

* PoorCommunicationKills: This is why Bea and Ben's first date ends badly despite their clear chemistry, Bea leaves before (she thinks) Ben has woken up without leaving a message or her number, Ben is understandably hurt and unaware that Bea has regretted this decision and is returning to his apartment, Ben then insults her to Pete to save face, which Bea overhears.

* TheBardOnBoard: ''Much Ado About Nothing'', but with NoAntagonist since the Don John character was cut.

-->'''Ben:''' ''"Spiders hunt in pairs! They hunt in pairs!"''
* SummerRomance: The entirety of Ben and Bea's romantic affair takes place in the Summer in the Southern Hemisphere since they're in Australia during December.

* RomanticFalseLead: Jonathan is this to Bea--though she's actually not wanting him back while her parents are wanting him back with her--and Margaret is this to Ben--in that Ben does want her back and putting on his charade with Bea is for both to work the means to those ends. Bea and Ben end up together together in the end though of course. Then a PairTheSpares connection brings Jonathan and Margaret together as well

* AdaptedOut: Don John, the antagonist of ''Much Ado About Nothing'' has no real counterpart in the modern film.

* LaserGuidedKarma: PlayedForComedy, While on plane heading to Australia, Bea notices a cookie next to a sleeping Ben (who had been previously annoying her after they boarded) rather than leave well enough alone she decides to steal the cookie, this results in her ended up in a comedically suggestive position which is noticed by one of the other people on the flight.

* ParentsAsPeople: Bea's parents are very overprotective and even go as far to push her to reconcile with her ex Jonathan.

Later on, they actually acknowledge their flaw as parents and assure that all they want is for their daughter to be happy.

* KindheartedSimpleton: Beau is a very friendly and cheerful guy who isn't very knowledgeable about anything besides surfing, water sports, and sex.

** When Beau sees Ben dive to save Bea after she fell in the water, he blissfully assumes that they're continuing their reenactment of [[Film/Titanic1997 Titanic]] and compliments their commitment to it despite that everyone pointed out that she fell by accident.

* CuteClumsyGirl: Bea is decidedly accident prone. Over the course of the movie she manages to soak her jeans in water by accidently turning on a sink tap, nearly burn herself moments later trying to dry said jeans on a hand dryer, get a sleeve of her blouse trapped in an aeroplane seat while [[ItMakesSenseInContext trying to steal a cookie]] and falls off the deck of a boat into Sydney Harbour while she and Ben are trying to receate the "King of the World" scene from ''Film/{{Titanic|1997}}'' (fortunately she can swim).
* DiscriminateAndSwitch: Bea and Halle's father seems like he's objecting to Halle and Claudia's marriage because both are women or because they're an interracial couple, but it's just the joke opening to their destination wedding.

* DoubleMeaningTitle: In addition to being taken from the song title, refers not only to how Bea and Ben are so frustrated and angry with each other that they each think they'd be "much happier with anyone but you", but also how they actually share such a strong connection with each other to the point that they each think they "couldn't be happy with anyone but you".

Beatrice "Bea" Messina (Sweeney) and Ben (Powell) are two attractive singletons who have a terrific first date but then have a falling out the following morning that leads to an immediate break up, each blaming the other. The two would gladly have nothing more to do with each other but they find themselves independently guests at the same wedding in Australia - Bea's sister Halle (Creator/HadleyRobinson) is engaged to Ben's friend Claudia (Creator/AlexandraShipp). Matters are further complicated by the presence at the wedding of Bea's ex-boyfriend Jonathan (Creator/DarrenBarnet) and Ben's ex-girlfriend Margaret (Creator/CharleeFraser).

* BadBadActing: Pete and Roger once again try out the StagingTheEavesdrop with Ben to get him and Bea to reconcile, but Ben doesn't fall for their ruse this time and angrily tells them to stop, saying he no longer knows "what's real and what's not".
