The most interesting part for me was this story was written by a black woman. And the original story had a black woman as the main protagonist (I think BOTH characters were black actually but I’m not sure) but publishers, apparently, convinced her the book wouldn't sell with a black woman as the lead so she had to whitewash her own story! We could have had Regina Hall in this role!
You realise that you're getting old when Anne Hathaway is old enough to play the mother of a teenager. Also, she and Nicholas have both played royals, and have covered Queen's "Somebody to Love" in other projects.
But to be honest most 40 year old parents have kids below 10 years old though (like Anne irl). They make a point in the movie that she got her baby young so she's not really quite the (usual) age to be the mum of a teen
@@marias.wainwright3481yeah lmao, my mom and her sisters all had us very young so while they're entering their 40s, us kids are hitting 15-23 😅😂 it has always been weird to me when someone my age mentions their parents being in their 50s or maybe even 60s! I'm so used to having and being around young parents that I just assumed everyone else's parents were also hella young when they had them 😅😅
@@marias.wainwright3481it kinda is a very normal age to have a teen? the average woman has the first child at 26, so its definitely common to have a teen at 40
@@arrowhead697 I'm just confused that she read the book and thought, great idea for a movie... because the book is really problematic and creepy IMO. I hope it wasn't actually her idea to adapt it... or she just did it for the cheque and is working on some better projects with Amazon for the future. Or maybe she only read the script. Here's hoping 🤞🏼
The ex husband being jealous and saying "my wife" was so idiotic and narcissistic when he literally cheated on her and left her... i knew a guy who used to tell people he didnt think his gf was the one and openly flirted with people in front of her and when she dumped him for another guy he was depressed for months like looool men are ill
My parents broke up when I was like 1, I'm 27, my dad has been remaried TWICE and still refers to my mum as his ideal wife and mentions that he never wanted to break up. Edit: After they broke up, he was the first to remarry.
Nick is a much better actor though in my opinion! Saw Mary ang George which is tonally so different and he pulls it off brilliantly! ( but Julianne Moore is the best part of the show 😉)
I swear Nicholas Galitzine could produce chemistry with a brick wall. He's a wildly talented romantic lead, which makes Purple Hearts somehow even more baffling.
If teenage me found out my mom was dating a celebrity, I would’ve been so diabolical lol my hand would be out every time dude walked through the door. He’s gonna be paying ME a dowry.
The ending of the original novel is more realistic, in that Hayes and Solene split up permanently, though it's implied that she never really gets over him. Author Robinne Lee was reportedly displeased with the change.
Yeah I heard that too. And like, I know it's way more realistic. And I understand what the author was conveying. But I don't hate the change. We all need a little fluffy dream fulfillment fantasy XD
Eh, I don't love that as an ending tbh. Specifically the her never getting over him part. I don't always need a happy ending in love stories, but a story where an older woman with already a failed marriage (where she was cheated on and left for a younger woman) dates a guy who everyone says is out of her league, and then just ends up alone and pining again, just doesn't sound very fun to me. Sometimes wish fulfillment is better.
I have read the book and Solene was the one who left him because she stopped replying to him. I prefer the movie's ending tho. They were still so in love with each other hence the 5 years waiting. It happened. Who are we to say that it was impossible, eh? They were honest with their feeling, honest with each other and didn't give false hopes. Sometimes, true love happens. It's a force of nature and we cannot do anything about it.
No, because, like, this is totally random, but I love it when the kid actually looks like they could be the kid, or, more generally, when the family members look like family members, immerses me more❤
I believe the author that wrote the two main characters as black but they were changed to be white because the movie production company didn't think the original idea of two black people falling in love was "believable" and "marketable". It's like saying black people aren't allowed to have love stories like this unless it's commentary on race and class.
The book publishers actually..but yes the og characters were supposed to be Black at least the female mc. That's why I don't understand why so many ppl think this is Harry Styles fanfic.
That's a common misconception that got spread around. She was referring to the book she wrote before The Idea of You. I believe she said it was an interacial relationship, but they didn't want it because they said it was overdone or something to that effect. Hence why in her next book, she changed the race.

I want to watch a romance movie and i turn on "the idea of you" and i notice that Nicholas Galitzine is there. Cool. Another day i'm in the mood for some gay romance... Nicholas Galitzine is there yet again. I'm in a good mood maybe i should watch a musical so its a good thing that nicholas galitzine is in one. Maybe me and my friends are in a mood for a good comedy movie so we put on "bottoms" and lo and behold nicholas galitzine is there. Maybe tomorrow i will be in a mood for some historical drama about a countess and her son
ive seen lots of people do this recently, but equating aging "well" to being a "good person" is a slippery slope. ppl hate aging already, ppl equate being "ugly" to being bad already
also every cheater i've ever known (either personal experience or friends' relationships) did get jealous when the victim moved on and found happiness. cheaters are insanely immature people, the grass is always greener. when they're in a relationship they want something shiny and new (while still getting all the benefits of the old relationship: have their cake and eat it too), but then once they have the shiny new thing they want the old relationship, or at least want to maintain the fantasy that they could go back to the old relationship if they wanted to. it's disgusting.
Yeah the movie is much better about handling the age gap than the book. They aged him up enough to where it's not creepy (in book he is 20), did away with Solene's fixation on his youth, and did away with that creepy story of him at 13/14 sleeping with someone who was 19 and having that experience presented as him "knowing his taste in women" from a young age. And then Solene's jealousy of that woman. The movie is all the better for not having all those things. And aging up the daughter (she is 12ish in book) so that they dont do that whole leaving a child and her friends with a strange man (Hayes' bandmate).
1. he is an actor, that is his job 2. its not like he emulated Michael Jackson, its boybands stage preformance, its not some groundbreaking never before seen hard to copy type of dancing or art
@@camrynjohnson1791 its not pessimistic, its realistic, when you let mediocrity be considered as greatness, you lose quality, you can praise the guy and say he did a good job withut oerhyping it. but you guys are probably just fanboy kids and I am going way to seriously and too hard on you, youll learn, so maybe you are right and I should dial it down
TH-cam didn't display the full title for me, and I have not heard of this film, so for some reason I thought it was gonna say you had a vendetta against Nicholas Cage
I'm just now realizing I've never seen you do commentary on a K-drama. Or K-pop. Or the extreme fans of K-idols (although perhaps that's just smart). But, like, I'd love your take on something like Goblin or Queen of Tears.
Loving your "feud" with Nicholas Galitzine. That shit is hilarious. I was shocked as hell that this movie was halfway decent as well. Like Hathaway and Galitzine had great chemistry. They were HOT together.
i need you to watch Mary and George if you're looking for a fun melodramatic period drama like if ur mad rn at Nicholas now you're gonna be fuming he was everything and a bag of chips
@@shoujokadyan5502a 13 yr thinking they could date a 24 yr old is way more concerning. It’s ok to have crushes but kids need to have a foot in realty 😅 I had celebrity crushes but NEVER thought I wanted to date one of them. I knew damn well they were much older than me.
@@luckyxxxxk they were very much in the boy band scene and fandom circle though. theyre like the bridge between boy bands and pop punk bands like panic, fob, mcr, etc.
i very much was never into kpop fully and by the last past years i felt like it’s dying and everyone is like aware that is like a cult lol but then i hear kennie mentioning exo and i am like maybe it’s just fun and it doesn’t need to be crazy, idk rant abt kpop rn lol
@@user-bk9bs3oc8c k-pop is super fun. I started in 2009, since 2018 I stopped being fully immerse on k-pop ( my favorite groups were retiring ) but I still check what new songs are being released. I used to think kpop was very cultish but lately I've seen anything can be cultish. Even some crochet groups on social media are kinda weird and crochet it's supposed to be fun and relaxing. Personally, what I like about kpop nowadays is the groups and singers that were debuting in mid 2000s, early and mid 2010's are still releasing music and they have a wide range of topics they sing about. Pre teens debuting is still a thing , the older members of the groups are barely 20. I keep supporting kpop to support these singers that are close to my age and wanna keep singing.
I was so excited to see you talk about this cuz i was prepared for you to not like it the way i truly didn't like it lol i wasn't even mad at the age gap, it was more so because i feel like they didn't actually tackle it. All the "bad guys" keep talking about it but the "good guys" don't openly acknowledge it so i feel like it's odd that they keep mentioning it but won't talk about it. They could have pointed out the hypocrisy of men canonically getting less flack for stuff like this but they didn't so it felt weak
I agree! I thought more would be made of what Solene said at her birthday, about her feeling disconnected from her age in her 20s and missing out bc of being a young mom, how that might play a factor in why she connects less with men her age and finds a younger man appealing. Once they get together the age gap is treated as totally incidental
@@theprettypurplepony right! Like they had material to work with but they kept just saying "oh people just don't want women to be happy". That was Easily the case for Daniel but for everyone else, it was a fair conversation! Like why are we being halfway feminist about this topic? Lean in! As Kennie said, Hayes was already 24 so you could argue it's not *that* weird (personally I'm not a fan of it but whatever) but that wasn't even the issue. The stakes felt very low for the way the conflict was portrayed so it just felt like a nothing-ahh movie. I was fully prepared upon them mentioning the other older woman for him to fr have mommy issues cuz THAT would be a point of true concern but it was just "ohhh nooo I forgot ppl would have something to say if I dated a world famous pop star, they hate me cuz I'm a woman, woe is me" when that wasn't even really the issue (at least based on how the movie framed it)
I recently watched that and commented when she made a reference in one of her recent videos 😅 the Glam 💅🏽 for that episode would be in Showgirls territory
When you were talking in a British accent in your Kristen Stewart movie review, I was like she’s been watching ‘The Idea of you’ and I hoped you would review it (Brit here)
I will always find age gaps that large to be fucking weird unless both parities are at least 30. If that 40 year old didn't look like Anne fucking gorgeous Hathaway, it might be a different story for people lol.
I find people who support wars pretty weird and they are all over the place! Different people with the same age can be totally different. Ageism is toxic. Out of place too. Couple relationships don't have to be based on buying a house, having children and being happy. Couple relationships are a unique dynamic for each couple. I was in a relationship with someone 20 years younger when I was 43 and he was 23. We had met accidentally when I had just got divorced and was a Mum of two. He was actually the most mature life partner I ever had. It all started as lust and it developed into love. A lot of love. Too much love, perhaps. Social pressure was unbelievably unbearable and after three years I left and ended the relationship. Big mistake I made. Really big. So, before you say "age gaps that large are fucking weird" please show some consideration for the ones who disagree with you. Thank you.
@@marias2787 Yeah, keep telling yourself that while you date younger men who barely got out of their teens half your age, divorced mum of two. And no, I don't think I will show consideration for those like you :) I will always find it iffy and creepy, cry about it.
Okay I need people to stop thinking this is about Harry Styles. The author is a Black woman, almost 50 and has stated multiple times it's not about him. The main character was supposed to be Black. The publishers kept rejecting the story because they didn't think a Black lead w would sell in a romance/contemporary book. She CHANGED the character(s) to white. She's was either supposed to fall in love with a Black or white boy band member. Technically imo this idea means she probably was thinking more 90s or 2000s boyband and not one direction. Gotta remember a lot more boy bands existed in both the US and UK during this time. Also the author is an established Black writer for tv/film and has done acting, that's how she knows Gabrielle Union, who was also an executive producer on this.
I was surprised at the chemistry because I saw some of their press and people were saying oooh the chemistry and to me they looked awkward af, like she's professional he looks like he doesnt know where to put his hands 😂😂😂 but then I saw the movie and I was like ooo THAT chemistry 😅
lmao i'm 26 and my wife is 41, it's an unusual age gap for sure but like it's the most healthy communicative relationship either of us have ever been in. we just hit our one year anniversary which is pretty cool :)
I love how Kennie clocked this being Harry Styles fanfic originally 😂 Also Kenny please don't stop with the random kpop references! You use them so well!
I heard the chemistry test for this project was for the potential male leads to play a song they believed Solene would drop everything and dance to in the living room to. Hathaway said she went through auditions before where the test was making out and didn’t want that.
You should watch Mary & George to see Nick as the Duke. He’s kind of a grey character and he can get very evil. I love that show and it’s dark humour and I think you would probably like it, it’s super dramatic and the ending is CRAZY.
@@momo7989and thats a misconception the original characters were white, but she intended them to be an interacial couple with the female lead being black when she got the idea, which would still make the harry styles thing entirely plausible
i read the beginning of the book and he is 20 and shes in her mid thirties. Spoiler of the book she leaves him telling him that she never loved him only the idea of him and he kept texting her that he loved her until he realized that she wasn’t going to text back and it stopped. TBH the age gap grosses me out in both the book and the movie. And that goes both ways for men and women
It was a cute movie. I did like the chemistry between Anne and Nicholas and I think their scenes together were my favorite parts of the movie. I honestly love anything Anne Hathaway is in. I feel like she can make any movie good or bad a fun watch. I also think Nicholas really rocked the stubble during the ending. That stubble with the kinda messy hair I've always kinda been a fan of on guys.
kennie, i say this with every single molecule of my body. never ever ever……..evereverevereverever…… EVER stop the kpop references. i’m an elderly kpop fan (my faves are Shinee, teen top, ukiss that era 😅) and your oddly specific kpop references and quips keep my shriveled dehydrated kpop loving heart a proper boost 🥹 kthx xoxo 😘
i don't actually recommend to read the book bcoz it's a lot of ick since in the book he's 21. which is a no. But in the book there were a lot more depth on their relationship i guess. they talked about more stuff. in the movie it's like where is the attraction is it just she's hot like what else. also one important point is that Oli is Hayes bestfriend in the book, and it's insinuated that Oli is inlove with Hayes. Which since we've established that this is a harry styles fanfic we all know what this refers too.. so uhm Anyways someone on twitter said this movie is if like you're ARMY and your mom started dating Jungkook LMAAOOOOO
I was shocked at how much i loved the movie and him, never heard of him before that I had to go back and watch Purple Hearts, which was a bit corny but his cheekbones, amazing
Girl any movie with Coachella in it is cheesy at best. I watched this movie and it's in my opinion pretty stupid but in a fun kind of way. I dont agree that it had emotional depth. Her divorce story is as vulnerable as she gets and him saying he is afraid he will become obsolete and people use him for fame is the most we get from him. Those are fan fic plot points if Ive ever heard one. Their bond is just slightly above surface level. The movie Its Complicated with Meryl Streep has a very different, way more relatable, storyline that discusses similar subjects of the beauties that come with being an older woman. This movie looks at beauty in all angles like body image, the beauty of wisdom that comes with age, the beauty of calmness that comes with having older kids leaving home soon. The Emma Thompson movie Good Luck Leo Grande focuses more specifically on the beauty of an oldier woman's body and older women learning to be more confident in themselves. I know this channel doesnt focus on good films lol. I just wanted to put out there that this film was just so unrealistic and didnt have the depth it needed to be good. It was just kinda dumb. However for the standards of what dumb means on this channel though, this movie is an all around five stars 🌟 from me. It is award winning material compared to Room.
Kennie we love you!! If you don't mind would you please bring back doing some makeup for movie reviews again!! I definitely miss it, and it was something that was so uniquely yours, it was just amazing and pure gold! As a makeup lover, it's the main reason I fell in love with your channel!! I came for the BEATS lol but stayed because you were so hilarious and intelligent that I became hooked! As a subscriber of about 5 years now, I beg of thee please please please bring it back at least sometimes!
This dude is going somewhere. Imagine starting off predestined to star in trash for as long as you look young enough and then ending up kissing ANNE HATHAWAY within like five years
What I liked most about this movie was that it made an effort to avoid/criticize a lot of tropes of the genre. Like grand gestures .. when he offers to buy out her gallery, most romance movies would be like “omg really 🥺 wow you are so amazing” but Anne’s character is spot on. It’s patronizing and insulting that you think you can buy her affection meanwhile disregarding her entire lifestyle and career just because you have money. And I like that they took the real world implications seriously, and considered her daughter. Yes there was a lot of “oh no we can’t hehe” that was quickly brushed aside but that’s not unrealistic. What I don’t like is some of the tactics he used. Yes, it’s lame that he used that song as “a move” and he should have been honest and forthcoming. I think Anne’s character should also have been honest with her daughter, especially knowing how it might affect her. And I hate that he used her business to get her personal number. I’ve had that happen to me and it’s creepy as hell and should not be encouraged.
"And he's playing on the BBC or something" that was the Graham Norton show, have some respect 😭 I'm kidding, it was kind of a random cameo tbh, but still lol
So I am deffo more like kennie. My mum (after leaving my abusive father) ended up sleeping with/dating a golfer who was younger and quite attractive. I was like hell yeah ma. Like he was only 10 years younger than her, not the larger age gap of the movie but I was hella happy for her.
I have watched NONE of the previous films but love Kennie's commentary. This is the first movie that I watched first and I must say, she summerized the movie very well! It matches what I just saw mere minutes ago (any longer and I wouldn't be able to match it up... Thanks Brain).
Hi Kennie!! I just wanted to say that I’ve been watching your videos since I was 11 and I’m turning 20 this year and I have just loved your content and witty commentary so much through every phase of my life!! You ooze of intellectuality and authenticity and I greatly admire you for it!!
I hate to break it to you but now there is going to be a red white and royal blue sequel. Nicholas is here to in fact keep us ina chokehold. Also he’s fantastic in the series Mary and George

Yeah the movie is much better about handling the age gap than the book. They aged him up enough to where it's not creepy (in book he is 20), did away with Solene's fixation on his youth, and did away with that creepy story of him at 13/14 sleeping with someone who was 19 and having that experience presented as him "knowing his taste in women" from a young age. And then Solene's jealousy of that woman.
The movie is all the better for not having all those things. And aging up the daughter (she is 12ish in book) so that they dont do that whole leaving a child and her friends with a strange man (Hayes' bandmate).
The book sounds...😬
The way Nicholas perfectly emulated Harry Styles' singing and stage precense from the 1D days is actually kinda terrifying.
1. he is an actor, that is his job
2. its not like he emulated Michael Jackson, its boybands stage preformance, its not some groundbreaking never before seen hard to copy type of dancing or art
@@nbassasin8092ur just a ray of sunshine aren’t u!
@@camrynjohnson1791 dont know what to say to this type of comment. no? yes? maybe?
@@nbassasin8092 ur comment is so pessimistic 😭 like damn they can’t give a compliment
@@camrynjohnson1791 its not pessimistic, its realistic, when you let mediocrity be considered as greatness, you lose quality, you can praise the guy and say he did a good job withut oerhyping it. but you guys are probably just fanboy kids and I am going way to seriously and too hard on you, youll learn, so maybe you are right and I should dial it down
Kennie off the streets???? Gurl congrats, I know it was a journey to get there
What do you mean? Kennie is a virgin lmaoo
@@jaygandrawait how do you know that lmaoo???
@@jaygandragirl no she ain’t, that’s just a joke she makes frequently
TH-cam didn't display the full title for me, and I have not heard of this film, so for some reason I thought it was gonna say you had a vendetta against Nicholas Cage
yo!! 🤝 thought I was the only one
I'm just now realizing I've never seen you do commentary on a K-drama. Or K-pop. Or the extreme fans of K-idols (although perhaps that's just smart). But, like, I'd love your take on something like Goblin or Queen of Tears.
And there is that Korean dating show on Netflix!
I would pay GOOD money to see Kennie do videos on Singles Inferno and Coffee Prince 🤯❤️❤️❤️
YESS I think she’d also have a lot to talk about with dramas like Mask Girl too
Queen of tears was horrible to me but good for drama
Congratulations on your new relationship, Kennifer~
Loving your "feud" with Nicholas Galitzine. That shit is hilarious.
I was shocked as hell that this movie was halfway decent as well. Like Hathaway and Galitzine had great chemistry. They were HOT together.
“I’m too old for you-“
“No your not”
*BLARGHBLARGHBLARGH* 💋
😂😂😂
i need you to watch Mary and George if you're looking for a fun melodramatic period drama like if ur mad rn at Nicholas now you're gonna be fuming he was everything and a bag of chips
I second this notion in its entirety! I am living for Mary and George rn !!
She needs to
Was going to sleep but some things are more important. Like listening Kennie talk about a movie i will never watch
BIG same.
The daughter is better than me 'cause I don't think I would be ok with my mom dating one of my celebrity crushes
Well like she said the daughter’s favorite was the other guy so it’s kind of less weird
In the novel, the daughter was 13 and was still in the mindset that she could date her celebrity crush.....
@@shoujokadyan5502a 13 yr thinking they could date a 24 yr old is way more concerning. It’s ok to have crushes but kids need to have a foot in realty 😅
I had celebrity crushes but NEVER thought I wanted to date one of them. I knew damn well they were much older than me.
@stephaniestecyk2256 In the book Hayes is 20. Solene is 40 and the daughter is 13.
It was always Rory lol. They made it clear she never had a crush on him so it was okay
I can't believe when mentioning white boy bands at you brought up BTR and not 5SOS - a black girl boy band stan🫠
Omg, hey fellow black girl 5sos stan🥹💕
@lovebug1116 heyy girl!💕 they're my favourite band! I've seen them live twice 😭
@@parisewellington3664 LOVE that for you!! I've never been cause of location but heard they're insane live 🥺🙌🏾
Isn’t 5SOS just a band bc they play instruments. Boy bands are usually just male vocal groups.
@@luckyxxxxk they were very much in the boy band scene and fandom circle though. theyre like the bridge between boy bands and pop punk bands like panic, fob, mcr, etc.
NOOOOOO KENNIE your k-pop and k-drama and living in Korea references are what I LIVE for!!!!! PLEASE always keep them up. Since way back in the day!!!
Why did she stop her k-content?
One thing Anne Hathaway gone do is ACT!! I felt the happiness from her when she was tearing up
I did love Solene for clapping back at her ex for his jealousy.
im now goin down the rabbit hole of early EXO cus the MAMA MV was ICONIC and i just kinda forgot??? so thank u so much for this development in my day
i very much was never into kpop fully and by the last past years i felt like it’s dying and everyone is like aware that is like a cult lol but then i hear kennie mentioning exo and i am like maybe it’s just fun and it doesn’t need to be crazy, idk rant abt kpop rn lol
@@user-bk9bs3oc8c k-pop is super fun. I started in 2009, since 2018 I stopped being fully immerse on k-pop ( my favorite groups were retiring ) but I still check what new songs are being released.
I used to think kpop was very cultish but lately I've seen anything can be cultish. Even some crochet groups on social media are kinda weird and crochet it's supposed to be fun and relaxing.
Personally, what I like about kpop nowadays is the groups and singers that were debuting in mid 2000s, early and mid 2010's are still releasing music and they have a wide range of topics they sing about. Pre teens debuting is still a thing , the older members of the groups are barely 20. I keep supporting kpop to support these singers that are close to my age and wanna keep singing.
*Hot take:* Ad-Roll Kennie the finest Kennie of all the fine Kennies. Argue with the wall.
I was so excited to see you talk about this cuz i was prepared for you to not like it the way i truly didn't like it lol i wasn't even mad at the age gap, it was more so because i feel like they didn't actually tackle it. All the "bad guys" keep talking about it but the "good guys" don't openly acknowledge it so i feel like it's odd that they keep mentioning it but won't talk about it. They could have pointed out the hypocrisy of men canonically getting less flack for stuff like this but they didn't so it felt weak
"they keep mentioning it but won't talk about" it is a banger line, thank you
I agree! I thought more would be made of what Solene said at her birthday, about her feeling disconnected from her age in her 20s and missing out bc of being a young mom, how that might play a factor in why she connects less with men her age and finds a younger man appealing. Once they get together the age gap is treated as totally incidental
@@theprettypurplepony right! Like they had material to work with but they kept just saying "oh people just don't want women to be happy". That was Easily the case for Daniel but for everyone else, it was a fair conversation! Like why are we being halfway feminist about this topic? Lean in! As Kennie said, Hayes was already 24 so you could argue it's not *that* weird (personally I'm not a fan of it but whatever) but that wasn't even the issue. The stakes felt very low for the way the conflict was portrayed so it just felt like a nothing-ahh movie. I was fully prepared upon them mentioning the other older woman for him to fr have mommy issues cuz THAT would be a point of true concern but it was just "ohhh nooo I forgot ppl would have something to say if I dated a world famous pop star, they hate me cuz I'm a woman, woe is me" when that wasn't even really the issue (at least based on how the movie framed it)
Please, please, PLEASE review “Death Becomes Her” as it is like one of THE greatest camp dark horror comedies of all time!!!!! I’m literally beginning
I recently watched that and commented when she made a reference in one of her recent videos 😅 the Glam 💅🏽 for that episode would be in Showgirls territory
Great moments in mid-rolls:
"...and everybody at the table goes quiet, and she's like/
WAYFAIR HELPS YOU WITH EVERYTHING..."
Mine was funny too:
“And everybody at the table goes quiet, and she’s like/
EAT ME
Basically 누나 너무 예뻐
😂
This is so on point 😂😂
Noona Romance!!
*immediately starts singing shinee replay*
When you were talking in a British accent in your Kristen Stewart movie review, I was like she’s been watching ‘The Idea of you’ and I hoped you would review it (Brit here)
The part where she told him the story of when she found out her ex was cheating on her...I got goosebumps! Anne Hathaway delivered it perfectly❤❤❤
I love a highly caffeinated Kendall. Love the chaos, let’s go!
This movie had me blushing like I was Anne Hathaway getting swept off my feet haha
I will always find age gaps that large to be fucking weird unless both parities are at least 30. If that 40 year old didn't look like Anne fucking gorgeous Hathaway, it might be a different story for people lol.
Exactly
In the book he is 20 and she is 39 like um like he just entering his 20s still discovering himself
I find people who support wars pretty weird and they are all over the place!
Different people with the same age can be totally different. Ageism is toxic. Out of place too.
Couple relationships don't have to be based on buying a house, having children and being happy. Couple relationships are a unique dynamic for each couple.
I was in a relationship with someone 20 years younger when I was 43 and he was 23. We had met accidentally when I had just got divorced and was a Mum of two. He was actually the most mature life partner I ever had. It all started as lust and it developed into love. A lot of love. Too much love, perhaps. Social pressure was unbelievably unbearable and after three years I left and ended the relationship. Big mistake I made. Really big.
So, before you say "age gaps that large are fucking weird" please show some consideration for the ones who disagree with you. Thank you.
@@marias2787 Yeah, keep telling yourself that while you date younger men who barely got out of their teens half your age, divorced mum of two. And no, I don't think I will show consideration for those like you :) I will always find it iffy and creepy, cry about it.
@@marias2787 lol people in age gaps relationships are always like "Ackthually it's not creepy because [describes creepy as fuck situation]"
I have a long day at the hospital tomorrow but I know my priorities 😂
good luck!!
this movie gives 'how stella got her groove back' from the premise alone
Okay I need people to stop thinking this is about Harry Styles. The author is a Black woman, almost 50 and has stated multiple times it's not about him. The main character was supposed to be Black. The publishers kept rejecting the story because they didn't think a Black lead w would sell in a romance/contemporary book. She CHANGED the character(s) to white.
She's was either supposed to fall in love with a Black or white boy band member. Technically imo this idea means she probably was thinking more 90s or 2000s boyband and not one direction. Gotta remember a lot more boy bands existed in both the US and UK during this time. Also the author is an established Black writer for tv/film and has done acting, that's how she knows Gabrielle Union, who was also an executive producer on this.
The security at Coachella is lacking!
I was surprised at the chemistry because I saw some of their press and people were saying oooh the chemistry and to me they looked awkward af, like she's professional he looks like he doesnt know where to put his hands 😂😂😂 but then I saw the movie and I was like ooo THAT chemistry 😅
lmao i'm 26 and my wife is 41, it's an unusual age gap for sure but like it's the most healthy communicative relationship either of us have ever been in. we just hit our one year anniversary which is pretty cool :)
Congrats!
I've been waiting for you to do this movie, I've been intrigued but don't want to spend any time watching it all the way through. 💀
13:08 love the exo mention 😔✊
GIRL like i don't put myself out there online at all and finally hear someone else talk about how funny early exo is is so refreshing lol
I love how Kennie clocked this being Harry Styles fanfic originally 😂
Also Kenny please don't stop with the random kpop references! You use them so well!
Not a fanfiction, not about Harry Styles, sorry
I heard the chemistry test for this project was for the potential male leads to play a song they believed Solene would drop everything and dance to in the living room to. Hathaway said she went through auditions before where the test was making out and didn’t want that.
Kennie trying to do a British accent will never not be funny because, cute and adorable 😊🤭
I've followed Nicholas Galitzine's career since I watched "Handsome Devil". He's always in the most random stuff.
How do you not know about The Graham Norton Show???? Best Talk show ever!!!!
You should watch Mary & George to see Nick as the Duke. He’s kind of a grey character and he can get very evil. I love that show and it’s dark humour and I think you would probably like it, it’s super dramatic and the ending is CRAZY.
The “they bump genitalia” one liner is crazy! 😂😂
“do you wanna get thai food with me some time?”
“no 🤨”
“okay thank you so much”
that part had me rolling on the floor
Harry styles did date publicly an older woman in the 1D days so it’s possible there’s some inspo there
There's isn't since the og book characters weren't white
@@momo7989inspiration doesn't have anything to do with race
@@momo7989and thats a misconception
the original characters were white, but she intended them to be an interacial couple with the female lead being black when she got the idea, which would still make the harry styles thing entirely plausible
i read the beginning of the book and he is 20 and shes in her mid thirties. Spoiler of the book she leaves him telling him that she never loved him only the idea of him and he kept texting her that he loved her until he realized that she wasn’t going to text back and it stopped. TBH the age gap grosses me out in both the book and the movie. And that goes both ways for men and women
I fucking love extra caffeinated Kennie. Girl is funny af 😂
It was a cute movie. I did like the chemistry between Anne and Nicholas and I think their scenes together were my favorite parts of the movie. I honestly love anything Anne Hathaway is in. I feel like she can make any movie good or bad a fun watch. I also think Nicholas really rocked the stubble during the ending. That stubble with the kinda messy hair I've always kinda been a fan of on guys.
That hand on the back of her thigh and the way his hands were on her for that kiss, girl, I would have folded like origami
Facts😂
I love nick especially in gay roles
We cannot sleep on Anne Hathaway, she is an acTOR. I imagine she read the script and was like, OH, I can work with this ish.😂
I don't even like this movie but I love your description and comments on it though! Makes it better.
You gotta watch the ultimatum South Africa … it was wild 😭😭
kennie, i say this with every single molecule of my body. never ever ever……..evereverevereverever…… EVER stop the kpop references. i’m an elderly kpop fan (my faves are Shinee, teen top, ukiss that era 😅) and your oddly specific kpop references and quips keep my shriveled dehydrated kpop loving heart a proper boost 🥹 kthx xoxo 😘
i don't actually recommend to read the book bcoz it's a lot of ick since in the book he's 21. which is a no. But in the book there were a lot more depth on their relationship i guess. they talked about more stuff. in the movie it's like where is the attraction is it just she's hot like what else. also one important point is that Oli is Hayes bestfriend in the book, and it's insinuated that Oli is inlove with Hayes. Which since we've established that this is a harry styles fanfic we all know what this refers too.. so uhm
Anyways someone on twitter said this movie is if like you're ARMY and your mom started dating Jungkook LMAAOOOOO
Not you singing Sabrina Carpenter 😭 I knew you had taste 🤭
Especially Espresso; that song is a banger.
I just don't see the hype around her. I like some of her songs but again just don't see it.
@@bbria28 that's fine. I personally really like her music. Her old stuff and her new stuff. Her most recent album is really good
Kennie doing so many British accent attempts took me out…..
The way she sounded EXACTLY like Nick threw me out 😂
I was shocked at how much i loved the movie and him, never heard of him before that I had to go back and watch Purple Hearts, which was a bit corny but his cheekbones, amazing
Girl any movie with Coachella in it is cheesy at best. I watched this movie and it's in my opinion pretty stupid but in a fun kind of way. I dont agree that it had emotional depth. Her divorce story is as vulnerable as she gets and him saying he is afraid he will become obsolete and people use him for fame is the most we get from him. Those are fan fic plot points if Ive ever heard one. Their bond is just slightly above surface level. The movie Its Complicated with Meryl Streep has a very different, way more relatable, storyline that discusses similar subjects of the beauties that come with being an older woman. This movie looks at beauty in all angles like body image, the beauty of wisdom that comes with age, the beauty of calmness that comes with having older kids leaving home soon. The Emma Thompson movie Good Luck Leo Grande focuses more specifically on the beauty of an oldier woman's body and older women learning to be more confident in themselves. I know this channel doesnt focus on good films lol. I just wanted to put out there that this film was just so unrealistic and didnt have the depth it needed to be good. It was just kinda dumb. However for the standards of what dumb means on this channel though, this movie is an all around five stars 🌟 from me. It is award winning material compared to Room.
Thank you for validating my dislike, hashas.
Kennie we love you!! If you don't mind would you please bring back doing some makeup for movie reviews again!! I definitely miss it, and it was something that was so uniquely yours, it was just amazing and pure gold! As a makeup lover, it's the main reason I fell in love with your channel!! I came for the BEATS lol but stayed because you were so hilarious and intelligent that I became hooked! As a subscriber of about 5 years now, I beg of thee please please please bring it back at least sometimes!
your face looks so clear omg you’re so beautiful
Based on this review alone: it seems like the AH character has some solid boundaries and is a healthy adult and wow is that refreshing in a rom com
Perfect timing, needed something to listen do while I do chores 😭
The how Stella got her groove back of 2024
I love Nicholas G in this role and also Red white and Royal Blue
This dude is going somewhere. Imagine starting off predestined to star in trash for as long as you look young enough and then ending up kissing ANNE HATHAWAY within like five years
I loved this movie and the streets was telling me I was wrong 🫠 so this video makes me feel vindicated 😂✨️
What I liked most about this movie was that it made an effort to avoid/criticize a lot of tropes of the genre. Like grand gestures .. when he offers to buy out her gallery, most romance movies would be like “omg really 🥺 wow you are so amazing” but Anne’s character is spot on. It’s patronizing and insulting that you think you can buy her affection meanwhile disregarding her entire lifestyle and career just because you have money. And I like that they took the real world implications seriously, and considered her daughter. Yes there was a lot of “oh no we can’t hehe” that was quickly brushed aside but that’s not unrealistic.
What I don’t like is some of the tactics he used. Yes, it’s lame that he used that song as “a move” and he should have been honest and forthcoming. I think Anne’s character should also have been honest with her daughter, especially knowing how it might affect her. And I hate that he used her business to get her personal number. I’ve had that happen to me and it’s creepy as hell and should not be encouraged.
"And he's playing on the BBC or something" that was the Graham Norton show, have some respect 😭 I'm kidding, it was kind of a random cameo tbh, but still lol
So I am deffo more like kennie. My mum (after leaving my abusive father) ended up sleeping with/dating a golfer who was younger and quite attractive. I was like hell yeah ma.
Like he was only 10 years younger than her, not the larger age gap of the movie but I was hella happy for her.
I have watched NONE of the previous films but love Kennie's commentary. This is the first movie that I watched first and I must say, she summerized the movie very well! It matches what I just saw mere minutes ago (any longer and I wouldn't be able to match it up... Thanks Brain).
Hi Kennie!! I just wanted to say that I’ve been watching your videos since I was 11 and I’m turning 20 this year and I have just loved your content and witty commentary so much through every phase of my life!! You ooze of intellectuality and authenticity and I greatly admire you for it!!
Caffeinated Kennie FTW! 🙌 this review was so unhinged, the voices, the singing, this review was one of your best! Haha😂
was listening to the video and agreeing, then you mentioned EXO and I was like WHAT
I want to thank you cause I have been feeling so much despair and you made me laughso i really appreciate it
I hate to break it to you but now there is going to be a red white and royal blue sequel. Nicholas is here to in fact keep us ina chokehold. Also he’s fantastic in the series Mary and George
While you’re getting your ears pierced at Claire’s 😂😂😂😂
I love how mad she was that this movie wasn't trash 😂
Very good acting, very good chemistry, catchy music, honestly this might become one of those comfort movies, you know
KENNIFER!! you have to do a video on challengers one day PLEASE 😭😭
Your energy is infectious in this video :)
