WHY YOU SHOULD STREAM The Idea of You - TIPS FROM JUSTWATCH
Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine make this rom-com a winner
Keith Langston
Written on May 13, 2024 Streamed on Amazon Prime Video
"There’s no shortage of rom-com “chick flicks” out there, and many are so mundane that only the most devout genre fans can handle them. But The Idea of You is different. Not only does it question ageism and gender roles, but Hathaway brings her Oscar-winning talent to the film and surprisingly Galitzine has the energy to match. The Idea of You is fun, flirty, and downright enjoyable. It’s the perfect movie for your next date night."
Perfect for fans of rom-coms and boy bands
Rachel Ulatowski
Written on May 13, 2024 Streamed on Amazon Prime Video
"The Idea of You is elevated beyond the typical romantic comedy due to the phenomenal performances of Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine, who share an electric and believable chemistry onscreen. Additionally, boy band fans will be unable to resist the charm and strong One Direction vibes emanating from August Moon. The Idea of You is reminiscent of No Hard Feelings but finds a better balance between humor and seriousness, ultimately resulting in a funny, steamy, and surprisingly positive story of a middle-aged woman taking control of her life and reminding society of her relevance."
