YMMV / Anyone but You

• Alternative Character Interpretation:
  • Was everyone in the group seriously engrossed with the koala during the hiking scene, or were they actively ignoring Bea and Ben's antics as part of their manipulation campaign? On one hand, it's too early in the movie for them to suspect the plan was working; and to be fair, ignoring the pair until they see results seems wise after all the bickering they had endured thus far. On the other hand, the later reveal that the brides faked their argument to guilt-trip Ben calls into question how much of everyone's behavior during the holiday was genuine, and it would explain why they never bothered to check on the pair during the hike even after Bea started freaking out over the spider. Another option could be that the hikers were high on something to help them relax and ignored the leads by accident, since the idea that the family consciously poured ALL their energy (outside of wedding chores) into a crazy scheme to cap the bad blood between two guests is a big stretch, not to mention a real waste of the holiday for everyone involved.
  • Were Claudia and Halle lying when they said their argument was staged? Could it be in that moment that they did give into those intense moments of weakness and snipped at each other rather than just find those mild annoyances as a means of getting them out in the open while also figuring they could push Bea and Ben together more effectively with them instead too? Could them lying about it being fake be so that Bea and Ben don't hold themselves responsible anymore—even with the wedding being successful?
• Awesome Music:
  • Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten" basically is used as the film's theme song and ends up fitting it perfectly. Between its use both here and in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem in 2023, the song actually had a pretty good year.
  • Olivia Rodrigo's "bad idea right?" was used in the trailer and given the tone being very appropriate to the movie's Belligerent Sexual Tension relationship at the center, it was the perfect song to sell the movie with.
• Best Known for the Fanservice: A lot of the interest for the movie came from viewers wanting to see Sydney Sweeney constantly wearing a bikini or to see Glen Powell's nude scene—as well as the sex scene featured in the trailer as well (featuring the two in the shower and then the bed). Not to mention when Margaret first shows up in the movie while sunbathing, Charlee Fraser's bare breasts are briefly seen—and she's also dressed sexily the majority of the movie as well. The marketing focused a lot on the fanservice in the movie.
• Ho Yay: Ben and Beau in the dancing montage to the song "Unwritten" featured in the credits.
• Trailers Always Lie: One of the early teaser trailers made the film look more like a tense, rather dark drama or at best dramedy like Cruel Intentions rather than the far more feelgood, comedic tone the actual movie is like.
