I have never read nor do I know anything about the Idea of You but you're telling me there's a male pop star character called August Moon???? I'm sorry but I just immediately think of Austin Moon from Austin & Ally. And that makes me mad that Ross Lynch isn't playing this character.
i have been WAITING for this fucking movie. if you know me you know i am a whore for all characters by nicholas galitzine and HAYES IS NO DIFFERENT. the point taken off is for the fact that his name is hayes and another secret reason i will reveal below. wonderful movie- honestly solid dialogue and plot for an angst rom. ummm,,,
spoilers below cut
okay the secret reason is his facial hair at the end. it's a no from me. anyway. LOVE the dialogue LOVE the mother-daughter relationship LOVE hating daniel LOVE all the acting (seriously Anne and Nick KILLED THE SHIT OUT OF THIS IT WAS BRILLIANT) kudos to nick for having the first thing he physically did to her be literally shove his face into her tits i turned away from the screen for one second and bam. also i immediately saved all the august moon (that's also a weird name wtf) songs on spotify. I kinda wish hayes' bandmates were like,, cool and sweet. at least one of them seemed to be. but the one guy was a douche wtf. anyway. ummmmm,,,, for being a Wattpad fanfic the general plot was pretty believable. Soléne's inner turmoil and choosing her daughter over Hayes but still loving him. the way media turns everything into a witch hunt. bonus point for the graham norton cameo. and the fact that for everything they seemed to use actual shit instead of editing a text message or interview or something lol. i kinda love it.
Most unbelivable thing to me in the entire movie was Soléne saying she wanted to live in new york but could "afford to live in LA" girl you own an art gallery how,,, how,,,, nvm. anyway.
Humor was great, acting was great, kissing was great, this was a killer movie and i will watch again.
