Based on the acclaimed, contemporary love story of the same name, The Idea of You follows Solène, played by Anne Hathaway. She’s a 40-year-old single mom who begins an unexpected romance with 24-year-old Hayes Campbell, played by Nicholas Galitzine. He’s the lead singer of August Moon, the hottest boy band on the planet. 

When Solène must step in to chaperone her teenage daughter’s trip to the Coachella Music Festival after her ex bails at the last minute, she has a chance encounter with Hayes. 

There is an instant, noticeable and undeniable spark. As they begin a whirlwind romance, it isn’t long before Hayes’ superstar status poses unavoidable challenges to their relationship. 

Solène soon discovers that life in the glare of his spotlight might be more than she bargained for.

Michael Showalter directs the film, and the rest of the cast includes Ella Rubin, Annie Mumolo, Reid Scott, Perry Mattfeld, Jordan Aaron Hall, Mathilda Gianopoulos, Meg Millidge, Raymond Cham Jr., Jaiden Anthony, Viktor White, and Dakota Adan.

If you read the book and watch these clips, you’ll see that the movie doesn’t follow the book. According to the book, Hayes is 19, and Solène’s daughter is 12 or 13. The movie has them both older.

This clip is blocked in some parts of the world. I suspect it’s because of the music.

Showalter has an impressive list of films he’s directed:

Directed by Deon Taylor, the movie Black and Blue follows a rookie cop, played by Naomie Harris. The fast-paced action thriller begins when she inadvertently captures the murder of a young drug dealer on her body cam.

After realizing that the murder was committed by corrupt cops, she teams up with the one person who is not a cop, played by Tyrese Gibson, from her community who is willing to help her as she tries to escape both the criminals out for revenge and the police who are desperate to destroy the incriminating footage.

The last two movies Taylor directed were The Intruder and Traffik, and the screenplay is by Peter A. Dowling who wrote the script for Flightplan.

The rest of the cast includes Frank Grillo, Mike Colter, Reid Scott, Beau Knapp, and Nafessa Williams.

The featurette shows a movie worth seeing. The scenes look tight, and the story is strong.

The next two movie clips are in the trailer, but you see more of the storyline.

The featurettes tell a little more about the movie, but the footage is almost the same. There is also a little more footage not in the prior clips and trailer.
