The Idea Of You

Solène is a forty-year-old single mom. Her ex-husband was going to Coachella with their daughter, and he had also bought tickets for a meet and greet with August Moon. But something came up and Solène is now taking her daughter and her friends to the festival. Backstage at the Meet and greet, she meets one of the singers of August Moon, Hayes Campbell. The 24-year-old is immediately interested in Solène. They eventually start dating, but dating a superstar is not always easy.

Review

I think I have mixed feelings about this movie. A big part of me loved it, but a small part of me is not sure how I feel about this movie.

I always start with the things I like about a movie, so here we go. The cast was pretty great. I mean, Anna Hathaway was incredible and looked so gorgeous in this movie. Okay, she always looks amazing. Nicholas Galitzine looked pretty familiar to me and I realized I knew him from ‘Red, White, and Royal Blue’ and the Netflix movie ‘Purple Hearts’. In my opinion, he kind of looks like Nick Robinson, or at least they give me the same vibes. But he great was great as well.

I found the storyline interesting. Most of the romance movie I watch are pretty similar obviously, but still, the ending was a little bit different. I am not going to ruin the movie for you and give you spoilers. You just have to see it for yourself.
But even though the movie is two hours, I really enjoyed it and it never got boring in my opinion. It might be one of that movies that I would want to watch again in the future.

Then we move on to the reason why I am not sure how I feel about this movie. The reason is that sometimes it felt like it could be a Wattpad fanfiction. Maybe it is just because it is an unknown woman dating a superstar. And I don’t think I am wrong about this, because I did some research and found out that the writer of the book (Robinne Lee) was inspired by Harry Styles and that would make a lot of sense. Hayes Campbell, the main character in this movie, is just like Harry from England. They are both in a boyband (well Harry used to be in a boyband) and the band contains exactly five members.

But did it annoy me? I mean, I constantly had the idea that the main character was Harry Styles. But I don’t think it was annoying. I think the script saved the movie. Normally fanfiction is pretty cringeworthy. This movie was still very enjoyable. I mean, I really want to watch this movie again someday.

So it kind of surprised me in a good way. I was hooked until the end. It was kind of a beautiful love story. I also thought the movie discussed some important. How is it okay for a forty-year-old man to date a 24-year-old girl, but the roles were reversed everyone would call her a creep.

I know I mostly watch romance movies, but I think this was one of my favorite movies this year. I can highly recommend it. And now I am going to put the book on my reading list because I really want to read it now.
