This phenomenon started in the United States on social networks, when many viewers were filming themselves and leaving cinema screenings of the highly anticipated romantic comedy at the end of 2023. We could see them recording themselves to the music of Natasha Bedingfield’s ‘Unwritten’, the flagship. which accompanies a feature film that has devastated audiences.
When the said film was released in France at the beginning of 2024, the French audience followed the movement and was also captivated by this effective, funny and enjoyable romcom, which you can now watch or follow on CANAL+.
Two new Hollywood stars in this feel-good rom-com
In addition to this catchy song, this romantic comedy can count on the undeniable alchemy between its two main actors: Glenn Powell and Sidney Sweeney, two new important Hollywood stars.
You knew them in Top Gun: Maverick, Scream Queens and the Petits coup montage for the former and Euphoria, White Lotus, Sharp Objects and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood for the latter.
This year, Glenn Powell starred in Twisters and Hit Man, and Sidney Sweeney starred in Immaculée and Madame Web.
But above all, they were brought together in Will Gluck’s Everything But You, a romantic comedy that he quickly caught up with. They play Bea and Ben, who in theory have everything about the perfect couple.
But after a perfect first date, an incident ruins their mutual attraction before their unexpected reunion at a wedding in Australia. Then they do what any mature adult would do in this situation: pretend to be in a relationship.
Obviously, the situation will turn against them and produce incredible twists, hilarious scenes, but also tender scenes, as romantic feelings will undoubtedly arise.
Inspired by the famous play Much ado about nothing William Shakespeare’s Everything But You combines all the ingredients of a good romantic comedy with a welcome modern twist, reviving a genre that has been somewhat sidelined in cinema in recent years.
The movie Everything But You airs tonight on CANAL+ and is available on myCANAL.
