The Idea of You

WHEN THE LAST THING YOU EXPECT BECOMES THE ONLY THING YOU WANT.

L.A. art gallery owner Solène Marchand (Anne Hathaway) takes her teen daughter (Ella Rubin) to Coachella where she meets a British pop star (Nicholas Galitzine); their accidental encounter leads to a challenging romance.

Echoes of Notting Hill (1999) in this romantic drama where two lovers have to deal with their age difference, bothersome paparazzi and pesky social media attention. Nothing sensational here, just an effective, cute love story with good performances by the two leads.

Adding to the credibility is a sincere effort to provide the boy band with songs that sound like potential hits.


2024-U.S. 116 min. Color. Directed by Michael Showalter. Screenplay: Michael Showalter, Jennifer Westfeldt. Novel: Robinne Lee. Cast: Anne Hathaway (Solène Marchand), Nicholas Galitzine (Hayes Campbell), Ella Rubin (Izzy), Annie Mumolo, Reid Scott, Perry Mattfeld.
