It's not that original and the deepest movie ever (basically "Notting Hill" with an age gap twist), but I love that they made an effort to flesh out these characters and make us care and root for their relationship, which is the bare minimum for a successful romance regardless of the source material. Just a feel-good, wholesome date movie. Edit: Anne Hathaway is CARRYING this movie on her back ughh she's just such a great actress.

Both Anne and Nicholas have played royals in previous projects, funnily enough, her in The Princess Diaries, and him in Red, White and Royal Blue, and Girlboss Cinderella.

that man was so tremendously down bad and for a good reason!!! and the yearniiiiing Nicholas Galitzine is so good at playing down bad men lol

When she’s telling the story of finding out her husband was having an affair and everyone at the table went silent cause they knew about it… girl if that was me I would’ve stood up and thrown drinks in everyone’s faces idc

The tattoos are so funny, I remember my best friend and me clowning Harry’s “random” tattoos when we were younger bc he got so many weird ones!

The movie was way better than the book. In the book Hayes was SA'd by his bandmates older sister but it was completely overlooked. Solene didn't think to tell him to get therapy and not be in a relationship. And then later on in the book when his rapist came to visit Solene didn't call get out but was instead jealous and saw her as "the blueprint" for Hayes infatuation for older women. It's just another example of male SA'd victims not being taking seriously.

THANK YOU for pointing out the difference that Daniel is a cheaterrrr and Solene is not! I kept getting so annoyed when people were comparing Solene to her ex just because they both date younger people. Like why are we not focusing on the fact that cheating is a big issue.

While I understand that it's a romantic drama, and the leads would eventually find a way back to each other, the novel's ending was more realistic. Solene and Hayes break up permanently, though it's implied that she never really gets over him. Author Robinne Lee was reportedly displeased with the changed ending.

10:28 this level of down bad is actually insane lol, like Don Massimo had more tact, and he straight up kidnapped a girl.

I liked the movie, but it definitely has a very different feel to the book. In the book, he's the one who makes a point to follow her to art events, rather than her going on tour with the band. He tries to learn more about art. It's a really important part of her story that her ex-husband never showed an interest in her work, whereas Hayes tries to understand and appreciate her passion. That’s how she moves from seeing their relationship as just a fling, to falling in love with him. He also fucks things up several times by doing things like hauling her out of an important art show, and that highlights their different levels of emotional maturity. I liked the film too, but I think it would be better if they hadn't sacrificed this part of the story. Now we just get "two beautiful people fall in love because reasons". It would've been so easy to just include a little scene where he walks past a piece of art and correctly identifies the artist, to show us (and her) how much effort he's putting in. It's a fun movie, but it's just missing a bit of the depth that would've made it a great movie.

The fact he is actually turning 30 this year, makes it seem way better for me 😅😂😂 I loved him since Cinerdella 2021 🤣🤣

Another interesting dynamic is that artists can be attracted to a muse. And that can get crazy complicated because for some artists, having a muse that inspires their artistic creativity will trump all other dynamics. They kind of explored that a little bit, and you touched on it with your witty speculation about him going solo with her as his support. These kinds of relationships (or situationships), good or bad, are amazing to explore in film and literature because they can defy all logic and reason. And that's so very human :)

23:25 Ngl that's where this movie kinda lost me. Like I was fully on board with Anne’s character living her best life being flown around Europe and hooking up with a younger guy u know something cute and fun for the summer but suddenly this movie wants me to think their relationship is so deep that they tell family and close friends about each other??? Like I thought this was a hot woman summer??

As I turned 40 last year watching this was... Interesting lol. Frankly I'm not sure how I'd feel if someone that young was coming on to me so strong like that. Like sir... Are you lost?

Yo the one direction-isms are KILLING ME. First the concert had me thinking because it’s almost identical to one i used to watch on here. BUT THE MUSIC VIDEO! I’m convinced it’s the Best Song Ever (or something) MV. I needed to get that off my chest because I’m lowkey fan girling inside

I remember when One Direction started being famous around 2012/2013, Harry Styles started having random tattoos on his body. That’s why that actor that played Harry got all those tattoos 😂

fun fact: hayes was actually izzy's favorite in the book which makes the stakes even higher when she found out her mom was basically dating her crush. i'm not sure why they changed that in the movie

Nicholas Galitzine was taken by surprise in his casting of “The Idea of You” when after only one audition with star and producer Anne Hathaway, he landed the role of boy band frontman Hayes Campbell, the audition is after '''Purple Hearts'' come out and while Nick was filming "Red White and Royal Blue " According to Anne ,Nick just got everything she want for Hayes, even more ,he definitely nailed it in chemistry read, after filming tioy they become a really good friends too

His Last Name goes like (Magazine) Nicholas Galitzine

I watched this because I am an Anne Hathaway simp. And I simped hard.

having watched the movie before reading the book I definitely prefer the movie, i think Solene & Hayes' relationship in the book was too toxic and volatile and was driven more by lust than love, it's no wonder they could not make their relationship work in the book. But I feel in the movie their relationship is less toxic and more healthy and wholesome and genuine & organic, and more convincing, I can believe that they truly do love each other and be able to make their relationship work in the movie. It's obvious they love each other so much & were so miserable without each other, after everything they've been through they deserve their happy ending and I'm glad they reunited 5 years later. The fact that Hayes is older in the movie also helps, it makes their age gap less awkward and more acceptable. I also prefer all the characters in the movie more, they made Solene, Hayes and Izzy more likable and I like that Izzy is not a brat and was alot more supportive of their relationship than in the book. And of course the chemistry between Anne and Nick is great, I think they really made this movie watchable & enjoyable for most people. I like all the changes they made in the movie, IMO the movie is an improvement from the book.

I feel like it really should have ended with them both moving on to something else after both learning something about what they needed in life. Also maybe spending a week or two at some luxury resort just banging it out.

4:32 I guess I can see it. They're both attractive so I'll take it 😂 Honestly I'll watch anything Anne Hathaway is in. To me, she can make any good or bad movie a fun time which is why I didn't hate the 2020 The Witches movie. It was a bad movie but I had fun watching Anne as the Grand High Witch. I also did enjoy her in this movie.

I was literally just fangirling over how stunning Anne looked during this entire movie. THIS WOMAN DOES NOT AGE. Also, why is Nicholas acc so mf fine-

33:39 The only thing interesting about "Anyone but you", was how they showed the relationship, between how a man would feel taken advantage of he shares his emotional vulnerability too early, and how a woman would feel taken advantage of when she shares her physical vulnerability too early. Other than that, it was a mid movie. The movie got carried because of how attractive Sydney Sweeney is. Still haven't found a rom com that can challenge Crazy Stupid Love, as my number one comfort movie.

Good movie! I enjoyed! ❤ Crazy chemistry and amazing soundtrack 👏His vocals are so good The Idea of You is so cliche but in the best possible way!! There has been a shortage of good romance movies lately and this is a solid entry. This Nicholas Galitzine lad is really hot and gorgeous 🥵He does have impeccable charisma

Anne does not age, I’m jealous 😂

I feel related to Sophia when she can't remember/pronounce Nicholas last name. I'm not alone, because I always read "Gasoline" instead "Galitzine", probably because English is my second language and I have a lisp in both of the languages that I speak (Portuguese & English), however saying his last name is still embarrassing 💀💀💀💀

Just seeing his earring all I’m thinking is if dylanisintrouble watches this movie he’s going to complain 😭😭

ngl.. the movie idea is so dumb BUT the actors rly carried the show like ... if anyone else was in this movie, it just wouldn't slap

Just finished the movie minutes ago! The coincidence 😂 Love your vids and commentary ❤

Sophia must have felt my need for a fix. I'm a addict of her channel and it's the only addiction my parents want me to have 💯 👍🏿👍🏿

I liked the movie. It’s pretty good to include social media in a different type of way in a movie

Same move dropping at the same time with Rebecca Rose. Twinsies haha. I've had the movie on my watchlist, so I'll come back after giving it a watch first.

I love watching your reactions because sometimes I just pause the video and actually respond to you lol this is my comfort zone ❤

love the clubchalemet slander

i love how all the commentary I have watched are like it's ANNE HATHAWAY! like....

Proud to be the first to comment >:)

I actually DIED at the Scunthorpe mention! My partner is from there. He is right 😂😂😂

Just when I was looking for a video to work on an art project to-- Sophia to the rescue!!! (Sorry, I haven't started watching the vid yet, I just had to comment because I never catch your uploads this soon lol you rock and I'm always happy to see a notif for your channel! thanks for being you ^^)

Great movie ❤amazing chemistry and actors , solid soundtrack , this man can sing👏Nicholas u r a real gem,can’t wait for his future project 😊

As someone that...let's say...recently, turned 40, 9:08 is like 90% true.

Currently my fav KZfaq channel

I really enjoyed this film. The songs are so good,plus the acting is good.

I agree. Was it necessary for AH to have top billing? I dislike that everyone has comparisons. I think it's best to see things fresh, new. See the actors and the plot as a "new" happening. Too many comparisons dilutes the originality of the movie. I really enjoyed your review. You are fun, real life and aware. I shall watch you again. I love your follow-up on the content. Bravo.... I agree with you about romance chemistry here. They did their best but i feel that Nick was more sincere in the acting "real" department. He looked very young in the early part of the video for obvious delivery and very mature (5) years later. As an actor he is very serious in his roles. I will be following him for sure. PS: people need to focus on the "love" and not on the gender, age, timing....

Hi Sophia love your vids! And because I love your channel I would like to recommend some movies! Eurovision the story of fire saga, the roommate, suicide squad, dark shadows and the 5th wave! These are some awesome movies and you'll love em!!! ❤❤❤

17:18 the self awareness check 😂😂

9:50 depends on what kind of friends? some are just waiting in the wings to get with you

10:48 as an artist some people have flirted with me by saying they really liked my work and wanted to buy it... and that's genuinely worked on me😅😵‍💫

I love your videos so much sophia

Please do a cindella story

Love you and your comments 🥰 I really think you would like 'My Policeman' because you liked 'Red White & Royal Blue' and I would love to see your reaction 😍

Would love to see you react to Young Sherlock Holmes No one has ever reacted to it before

Just wanna say that this is not based off of a real fanfiction-turned-book! It was always a published book, loosely inspired by Harry Styles or just marketed that way

All hail the movie watching Queen

Who wouldn't love those bracelets

You should be watching the migration movie

Watch the good son pls

26:24 never understood this narrative, like Leonardo DiCaprio gets called out basically every other day, I'm pretty sure Demi moore and Sam Taylor-Johnson didnt get as much flak as DiCaprio does.

He doesn't pronounce his name Timothy? TIL. Agreed, Anne looks tremendous in the clips you showed. And if he becomes a bigger star in the 5 years (a) they'll have "fuck you" money, and (b) her daughter won't be a high schooler and be quite as subject to attack? I dunno. I don't think "wait for me" is a valid strategy in anything though.

Wait he does look like Hook lol

i felt uncomfortable ngl

Is this another one loosely based on Harry Styles? That man must be getting so tired lol

First Cindy and then you dropping reactions to this? Stopp

No wonder it didn’t have the talent of turning red Billie eilish and fineas don’t make the music
