Now, it's gaining traction at the box office and pulling in audience members.

The Much Ado About Anything retelling follows Bea and Ben, who find themselves forced together during a wedding after their fiery first date turns sour.

Shakespeare reimaginings once dominated the romcom oeuvre, with films such as She's The Man and 10 Things I Hate About You being firm favorites among fans of the genre.

Gluck has previously directed Easy A and Friends With Benefits, two modern hits that found their audience.

Now he adds Anyone But You to the mix, hoping it lands that same cult status among romcom enthusiasts.
