And what were your thoughts in regards to the messages it conveys (or doesn't)about attraction, love, and romance?
My off-the-cuff thoughts:
-Some of the banter between leads Glenn Powell and Sydney Sweeney is OK, even if the two of them don't exude much spark as a couple
-The by-now-entirely-too-familiar double standard on women physically striking men shows up twice in ABY, and is played for laughs. I suppose we should all be grateful that Bea/Sweeney's actions here are just obnoxious, rather than malicious
-Glenn Powell here is the closest thing US cinema has come to creating a homegrown Hugh Grant
