Late to the Party with Nikki & Bri Nikki Jensen and Bri Picone

Did Anyone but You breathe new life into the rom-com genre? This week on Late to the Party, we delve into the film with Sam & Shelby from The Rom Complex! Join us for a deep dive into the movie's loose (and very 90s) Shakespearean adaptation.

We'll unpack the classic enemies-to-lovers trope and the hilarious "fake-dating scheme gone right" storyline. We also dish on Glen Powell's leading man charm and Sydney Sweeney's rise as a rom-com It girl.

But it wouldn't be a rom-com without a side of reality! We'll also discuss the PR relationships and the strategic use of the now-iconic Natasha Bedingfield song. Is the rest of the genre's future still unwritten?

(15:24) – The “Meet Cute”
