If you’re a die-hard rom-com fan like me, you might also believe that the genre hasn’t seen a truly great entry since 2023’s Anyone But You, starring Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney.
The hit comedy, based on Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare, helped revive the rom-com genre following a slight slump in the 2010s.
Luckily, writer and director Will Gluck, who also made the hit rom-com Easy A, has another project in the works – and it sounds seriously good.
