Actor Anne Hathaway has given us some amazing rom-coms with The Princess Diaries franchise, Love and Other Drugs, Bride Wars, and more iconic movies, becoming a staple for her fans and of the genre. The actor, who will be next seen in projects like Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and the highly anticipated The Devil Wears Prada sequel, is loved for her acting prowess, screen presence, and her ability to take risks with unique stories. One of her recent films, which pairs her with a younger star in the romance genre, is now trending globally.
The Idea of You, starring Hathaway opposite Nicholas Galitzine, is a global hit on HBO Max, as per FlixPatrol. The movie is in 8th place on the streamer’s worldwide Top 10 list, standing tall among titles like Weapons, It, Ferrari, andmore. The movie stars Hathaway as a 40-something single mom, Solène, who meets a much younger, cuter boy band member, 24-year-old Hayes Campbell (Galitzine). Initially apprehensive of Hayes’ interest, Solène finally gives in to his charms, but things take a turn when the media expose their affair.
The movie’s thematic twists and turns make it a compelling watch. Hathaway and Galitzine display amazing chemistry, proving a delicious couple on-screen to the fans' delight. While the rom-com genre often centers on a simple boy-meets-girl story, The Idea of You ups the ante with awkward situations and an apparent age gap, providing a much-needed departure from the genre's regular tropes. The movie has an 80% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while the audience gave it a 67%. Based on the novel of the same name by Robinne Lee, who partially based the boyband character on pop star Harry Styles. The Idea of You is directed by Michael Showalter from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jennifer Westfeldt.
Where Will We See Anne Hathaway Next?
In Nolan’s The Odyssey, she plays Penelope alongside Matt Damon, who plays the titular character. The movie, which will trace Odysseus’ long journey home after the ten-year-long Trojan War, marks Hathaway’s third collaboration with Nolan after The Dark Knight trilogy and Interstellar. The actor will also be seen in the Devil Wears Prada sequel, which recently released a teaser to fans’ delight. The sequel will reunite Hathaway with Emily Blunt, Meryl Streep, and Stanley Tucci from the original movie.
While we wait for the actor’s next release, check out The Idea of You on HBO Max. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
