- Manuel São Bento: FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/the-idea-of-you-movie-review-a-formulaic-rom-com-that-struggles-to-stand-out/
“The Idea of You can’t seem to find enough standout elements to compensate for the lack of narrative innovation, thematic depth, or compelling execution.
Michael Showalter gets lost in the shallowness of the genre’s countless formulas, the excessive fluffiness of the dialogues, and the dull clichés that fill a very familiar premise, failing to justify a frustratingly incoherent ending. While Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine’s performances are blameless, the movie leaves much to be desired in terms of emotional impact.
Disappointing…”

- wogelib503: FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://leakedcinema.com/en/movie/843527/TheIdeaofYou
the fantasy here isn’t about getting to fuck Harry Styles, it’s more about having money to own a house/car in Los Angeles and being able to fly to New York on a whim so you can go fuck Harry Styles
i think it’s actually awesome that nicholas galitzine is only allowed to have men or milfs as love interests
mid watching this, the guy sitting next me asked if this was a harry styles fanfic and when i told him it was, he sighed and walked out 😭😭😭
Do you know how many 40 year old women are going to be at Coachella next year because of this
watched this with my mom and when it was over she said “this is how i felt about austin butler after elvis”

https://hotplix.com/the-idea-of-you/ - TheSceneSnobs: I am not usually drawn to romantic films where a woman changes her life and finds love when she least expects it. These films don’t typically resonate with me, but I watched this one for review purposes and found myself really enjoying it. While the plot is simple, it is not without charm, and the acting meets the expectations for this genre, complete with its share of cheesy moments. However, it tells a pleasant story with some worthwhile themes.
The plot may be straightforward, but it is executed well, providing a satisfying narrative arc. The story centers on a woman trying something new and unexpectedly finding love, a familiar trope that is handled with care and sincerity.
Anne Hathaway is the standout performer in this film. She has a remarkable ability to elevate even the most formulaic scripts, bringing nuance and depth to her character. Her performance is both heartfelt and engaging, making her character’s journey compelling to watch.
While the film includes many of the genre’s typical elements, such as predictable plot points and moments of cheesy dialogue, it manages to use these conventions to its advantage. The familiar beats of the romantic drama are present but are handled with a light touch that makes them enjoyable rather than tiresome.
This film is a pleasant surprise. It might not break new ground in the romantic drama genre, but it offers a heartwarming story with strong performances. It’s an enjoyable movie to watch with your significant other, providing a comforting mix of romance, humor, and genuine emotion. If you’re looking for a feel-good film that touches on themes of love and self-discovery, this one is definitely worth a watch.
