Anyone But You tells the story of the love, or not, between Bea and Ben.
While trying to secure a bathroom key at a coffee shop, Bea, a law student at Boston University, meets Ben, who works in finance at Goldman Sachs. The two have an instant connection, and spend the day together, ultimately falling asleep together on Ben’s couch and so it begins…
Bea leaves without waking Ben but overhears him insulting her and they do not see each other again for six months, only to cross paths when Bea’s sister Halle begins dating Pete’s sister Claudia. Halle and Claudia later become engaged and plan a wedding in Sydney.
There will be bikinis and sand, and same flights to Australia, and same accommodation, acrimony, the appearance of Ben’s ex-girlfriend and Bea’s ex-fiancé and a plan to get Bea and Ben together, and
Bea and Ben pretending they are together and a chase to the steps of the Opera House *sigh*. What more could you want from a movie?
Anyone But You is screening this week
at Ballina and Byron Palace cinemas. Palacecinemas.com.au.
