‘The Idea of You’
Folks, I’m here to tell you that the latest Harry Styles fanfiction movie is good. Great, even. The Idea of You—which is based on the original 2017 novel by Robinne Lee, and not, in fact, fanfiction—is now streaming on Amazon, and it’s completely addicting. Anne Hathaway stars as a 40-year-old single mother who takes her teen daughter to Coachella, and ends up hitting it off a fictional boyband frontman, Hayes Campbell (played by Nicholas Galitzine). It may sound cheesy, and it is, but Hathaway and Galitzine have an electric chemistry that will pull you in and won’t let you go. The film was directed by Michael Showalter (the Wet Hot American Summer guy!), who also co-wrote the screenplay with Jennifer Westfeldt, and it hits every beat of a perfect, heart-wrenching romance. You’ll be aching for these two unconventional lovebirds to make it work. Plus, Galitzine looks very pretty when he cries.
