When Anyone But You hit the screens, it became the cinematic equivalent of a perfectly timed text from your crush, unexpected, thrilling, and instantly addictive. Audiences could not stop obsessing over the electric chemistry between Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney, who made every glare and grin feel like foreplay. The internet did what it does best: turn speculation into sport, with fans convinced that this romantic tension had leapt from script to reality. But as delightful as the on-screen spark was, its afterglow has left many yearning for more.

Rewatching Anyone But You may offer momentary comfort, but to truly mend that cinematic heartbreak, here are some Netflix films that scratch the same rom-com itch.

In Hit Man, Glen Powell once again proves he could generate chemistry with a houseplant if necessary, but this time, it is with Adria Arjona. The two share an irresistible spark reminiscent of Anyone But You, though instead of fake dating, they navigate a sizzling web of lies and danger. Both films lean into Powell’s talent for mixing charm with chaos, ensuring every glance feels like an invitation to trouble.

Yet Hit Man is no sunlit romp through Australian beaches. Hit Man thrives in the shadows of deception, murder plots, and double identities. It is less “meet cute” and more “meet armed.” The result is a neo-noir comedy where passion and peril dance together, making romance look both irresistible and mildly illegal.

Players takes the classic friends-to-lovers trope and gives it a modern, chaotic spin. Much like Anyone But You, it thrives on banter, misunderstandings, and the undeniable charm of two people who swear they are not falling for each other, until they inevitably do. The friend group adds a lively dynamic, filled with sharp humor and emotional missteps that feel almost too familiar, like watching your own love life play out with better lighting.

However, Players swaps Anyone But You’s fake dating escapades for a literal “playbook” of hookup strategies, proving that romance can be just as messy when love masquerades as a game. While the execution has divided audiences, some calling it predictable, others delightfully self-aware, it still captures the thrilling absurdity of modern romance, where every plan to stay detached ends in emotional ruin.

The Perfect Find dives headfirst into the treacherous waters of workplace romance, where keeping secrets is harder than keeping one’s job. Much like Anyone But You, it thrives on tension, charm, and the thrill of a relationship that probably violates at least three HR policies. With its chic fashion-world backdrop, the film trades beaches for boardrooms but keeps the romantic messiness delightfully intact.

The story takes a more unconventional path by centering on an age-gap relationship rather than dueling exes. This shift gives the narrative a touch of sophistication, as it explores ambition, vulnerability, and the cost of mixing love with career. While some felt the chemistry did not match the electric sparks of Anyone But You, its glossy aesthetic and emotional nuance make it a romance worth rooting for, preferably in heels.

Lonely Planet, a movie that topped Netflix charts globally, takes viewers on a sun-drenched escape to Morocco, where Laura Dern and Liam Hemsworth find connection amid sand dunes, silence, and emotional baggage that could fill a travel trunk. Much like Anyone But You, the story thrives on the intimacy that blooms when two strangers are trapped in a beautiful setting with no reliable Wi-Fi. It captures the allure of accidental closeness, where every shared glance feels magnified by the scenery.

The film, however, trades the flirtatious chaos of Anyone But You for something quieter and more contemplative. It is a romance wrapped in stillness, built less on banter and more on unspoken longing. Some viewers found the chemistry between Dern and Hemsworth less fiery than expected, but the film’s soulful pacing and breathtaking Moroccan backdrop give it a hypnotic charm, a love story best savored like mint tea, slowly and thoughtfully.

Your Place or Mine follows best friends Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher as they navigate the precarious line between friendship and romance, a timeless rom-com dilemma. Much like Anyone But You, it delights in placing characters in awkward, high-stakes scenarios that test their feelings, here via a cross-country home swap that sparks both comedy and reflection. The film thrives on clever setups, witty dialogue, and the tension of wondering if love will finally prevail.

The story focuses on a friends-to-lovers journey rather than enemies-to-lovers antics. Witherspoon and Kutcher spend much of the narrative apart, relying on phone calls and video chats, which diminishes the electric, in-person chemistry seen between Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney. Despite this, it delivers heartfelt moments, clever humor, and the enduring charm of friendship, flirting dangerously with romance, making it the perfect follow-up for anyone still craving the magic of Anyone But You.
