Anne Hathaway’s exciting new film The Idea of You, which will premiere on Amazon Prime on May 2, has received a positive response from early viewers.
In the film, Anne’s character Solène begins a romance with boy band member Hayes Campbell, played by Nicholas Galitzine.
“This romantic comedy offers a heady slice of alluring escapism fueled by the chemistry between its two leads,” was one response.
“A feel-good romance that takes itself a little too seriously in the second half, this film is buoyed by seductive turns from Hathaway and Galitzine,” another commented.
“Hathaway and Galitizine make their character drama fresh and sexy as hell, a fact enhanced by a strong script that treats their characters like people,” another agreed.
“It works mainly for one simple reason: Anne Hathaway is exceptionally good at romantic comedies,” declared one Rotten Tomatoes user.
“Fanfiction-turned-novel-turned-movie” movies are my bread and butter and it’s deliciously refreshing when one is actually good,” gushed another. “A true treat for the genre, Hathaway and Galitzine nail the chemistry and dynamic.”
The highly anticipated film has been met with claims that the pop star character in her new romantic comedy The Idea of You was inspired by Harry Styles.
Based on Robinne Lee’s 2017 book, Anne plays Solène, a 40-year-old divorced mother, who takes her teenage daughter (Ella Rubin) to Coachella at the suggestion of her ex-husband (Reid Scott).
Last week, Anne told Stellar that the author of the novel on which the film is based, Robinne Lee, has denied any resemblance to Harry Styles.
