You could call The Idea of You (Amazon Prime, 5.2) a May-December romance, but it’s more like a June-September thang.
In actuality Anne Hathaway, a Scorpio born on my birthday (11.12), is now 41 years old. In the film Hathaway’s boy-toy boyfriend, Nicholas Galitzine‘s “Hayes Campbell”, is supposed to be 24 but is actually 29.
Okay, a 12-year age gap but when I was in my early 20s I had a thing for 30something women, as I had this belief they were better in bed. That wasn’t nececssarily true, I discovered, but I still liked older.
We know how these stories always end, but don’t let me spoil it.
Directed by Michael Showalter (The Big Sick) and based on the same-titled novel by Robinne Lee.
