The Idea of You

"4.25⭐️ Oh myyyy this has some spice 🌶️ Was not expecting that!🔥🥵🪭 Alrighty then..put me back in the game after an extended romcom hiatus (😂) Well maybe more romdram. Or romcomdram? Whatever it is I like it. Anne Hathaway, growing more ethereally gorgeous as time goes by, is such a fantastic actress. She really elevates the material to greater emotional heights. And Nicholas Galitzine..not too shabby himself on most levels. MUCHO crazy chemistry with these two! Plot wise I think we all know where this goes. It’s not rocket science. But besides a lightly dramatic bubbly ride, it worked for me that here is a mature woman, portrayed as fully realized and only mildy unrealistic at that. It’s Hollywood..realism is a fantasy. However also refreshing, the mother-daughter relationship isn’t written with the stereotypical adversarial dynamic. Plus 💯% accurate showing the hypocrisy and gender double standard in culture and media. But still..a frothy fantasy after all. Impossibly cute meet-cute ✅ Impossibly adorable (Laurel Canyon!) house ✅ Impossibly hip SILVERLAKE (always CAPS ~ we get it) art gallery ✅ The only thing missing is the impossibly cute dog. No matter. YES..more of this please! "

"This is not your average cheesy/too cute romcom. This is a really good adult dramatic fantasy romance, directed by the guy who did the terrific The Big Sick. It’s sexy as hell and Anne Hathaway gives a wonderful performance. Fantastic soundtrack, aside from the boy band stuff. But the costar does his own singing so they really promote that. He was really good in the role though. It was good. "

"The beginning was kinda cheesy, but it does get better throughout. Adding on to this, my main complaint is that how this relationship starts feels quite unrealistic, and I'm not even referring to the meeting. It made it hard to get invested in the relationship, especially cause I didn't agree with how the characters acted the whole time. The ending was surprisingly done really well though, and that boosted my rating a bit, 7/10🥪"

"I started to like Anne Hathaway, the movie was cute and romantic but easily forgotten. I wasn’t able to connect with it. A lot of hot steamy moments. The actor, I seen him in Purple Hearts he is good."

"Cute romance but definitely not a contender for Best Picture. 🤷‍♀️"

"Very cute! I enjoyed all the cheesiness "

"The love story was not believable in it for me. I did not connect with the characters I didn't cry I didn't believe the relationship they share the ending did not make sense to me. I was eager for more and this just did not satisfied "

"The chemistry between these two! (Chef’s kiss)💋. Gave more than expected for the storyline while having a strong balance walking a tight rope in the topic of relationship age differences. "

"4.5⭐️ I’m a sucker for a good romance. "

"I’m only giving this 3 stars for Anne. Very much a wattpad fanfic. I expected so much more! I’ve heard I should have read the book first. Definitely watch if you need a predictable romcom. "
