Overall, it’s a fun time. Is it the best movie I’ve ever seen? No. But it will give you butterflies. My major issue with it is that I wanted to know more about everyone around them. The band and their relationships are barely explored, which was, to me, a miss. I would also like to know more about her ex and his wife. Like, any of the other relationships are cardboard decorations in this movie. It is interesting how self-contained it feels, considering it’s a movie in which the main problem is the public.

Soooo lame. Several poor script choices make this movie predictable, forgettable, and even bad. There is no chemistry between them. The plot is so idiotic. And to think it was based on a book is funny, like, you needed a book to create this? I mean, any literature undergrad could have made this and better, maybe.

"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.

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

When the love sparks, it does not see age, and ‘The Idea of You’ film portrays the same.
