The Idea of You is based on the 2017 book by Robinne Lee. The movie features Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine and was released on Prime Video on May 2nd after having premiered at SXSW Festival earlier this year. The film is a light-hearted romance movie where a 40-year-old single mom, played by Hathaway, falls for a 24-year-old lead singer, played by Galitzine. If you’re intrigued, let’s dive into what this movie is all about.
What It’s About
If you still haven’t seen Anne Hathaway’s latest work, the movie tells the story of the love affair between Solène, an art gallery worker, Hayes Campbell, the fictional band August Moon’s lead singer. The two meet at Coachella, the biggest music festival in the world.
In the first trailer, we see Solène trying to suppress her feelings for Hayes, convincing herself that she’s too old for him. However, Hayes unexpectedly pulls her in for a kiss, and this is where their journey begins. The two have to go through a few challenges to make things work. The book’s author admitted that the story was inspired by Harry Styles.
Hathaway and Galitzine’s Recent Work
“Dance Before We Walk,” a song by made-up boy band August Moon, has been released as a single to promote the movie and features on its soundtrack. This makes sense since the band is being sold as “the hottest boy band on the planet.”
Anne Hathaway has been rocking Hollywood lately, appearing in films like Eileen and She Came to Me. At the age of 41, her career is far from over. Her co-star, Nicholas Galitzine, has been on the up and up as well, starring in hits like Bottoms, Mary & George, and Red, White & Royal Blue.
