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!

[@marias.wainwright3481]

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

[@roryatomics]

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.

[@momo7989]

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.

[@have_several_seats_please]

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.

[@roryatomics]

@@have_several_seats_please See I knew it was something along the lines of that but I couldn't exactly remember what was really said about it because I was scrolling through Tik Tok.

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.

[@roselover411]

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

[@impposter560]

Can't lie, I have a lot of respect for authors who have the guts for a 'sad ending'. I can see how it wouldn't work as a movies ending tho 😅

[@caitlynr7295]

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.

[@momo7989]

@trinaq I think it has to do also with the fact that she already had to change her original work to even get it to be published.

[@ancientdormammy6312]

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.

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).

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.

[@momo7989]

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 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

[@hannarchy6554]

"they keep mentioning it but won't talk about" it is a banger line, thank you

[@theprettypurplepony]

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

[@KaityT97]

​@@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'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. 💀

[@lalat5649]

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

[@personalglow]

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!

[@becaboo-dv8dp]

Not a fanfiction, not about Harry Styles, sorry

[@BeeKee404]

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.

[@MsTeo91]

Kennie trying to do a British accent will never not be funny because, cute and adorable 😊🤭

[@watson483]

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.

[@parisewellington3664]

Not you singing Sabrina Carpenter 😭 I knew you had taste 🤭

[@00AgentKrabie]

Especially Espresso; that song is a banger.

[@bbria28]

I just don't see the hype around her. I like some of her songs but again just don't see it.

[@parisewellington3664]

@@bbria28 that's fine. I personally really like her music. Her old stuff and her new stuff. Her most recent album is really good

[@parisewellington3664]

​@bbria28 just curious, do you see the hype now?😅

[@kathleenmcfarlane2555]

How do you not know about The Graham Norton Show???? Best Talk show ever!!!!

[@Pixiewarrior18]

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

[@cassielcruzchavolla809]

I've followed Nicholas Galitzine's career since I watched "Handsome Devil". He's always in the most random stuff.

[@rollercoasterhater]

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 😘

[@XxMaddieCat]

I fucking love extra caffeinated Kennie. Girl is funny af 😂

[@priboltao]

Very good acting, very good chemistry, catchy music, honestly this might become one of those comfort movies, you know

[@lilianaledesma7254]

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.

[@RhythmsCompany.2]

Thank you for validating my dislike, hashas.

[@Letsjustnot9597]

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.

[@MysojuUpdates]

I don't even like this movie but I love your description and comments on it though! Makes it better.

[@qualifiedarmchaircritic]

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

[@marklouis1890]

I love Nicholas G in this role and also Red white and Royal Blue

[@Knottylilpoet]

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

[@rayewb6507]

Kennie doing so many British accent attempts took me out…..

[@PYC334]

The way she sounded EXACTLY like Nick threw me out 😂

[@thatcreggcell1534]

was listening to the video and agreeing, then you mentioned EXO and I was like WHAT

[@rajneeshmeena6502]

You are right. It was indeed a Harry Styles fanfic

[@EncyclopediaBrittanica]

I saw this ish on Amazon and said, "Oh no..." And promptly called my bestie to laugh about the concept. I'm so glad you watched it, so I knew how to proceed.

[@phedisolatakgomo6964]

You gotta watch the ultimatum South Africa … it was wild 😭😭

[@XxKiSsDiSaShxX]

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!

[@peppermintxs0]

your face looks so clear omg you’re so beautiful

[@simmieyah]

I'm not done watching the video yet, but I had to stop and say ME TOO on the 27! It felt so random at the time and it's not a commonly talked about age marker so I was unprepared for the wave of panic that hit me, but ye. 27. I've since passed several age markers unfazed. I'm just happy to be alive man lol

[@ItsANoFromMe303]

"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

[@crystaletihw9536]

The how Stella got her groove back of 2024

[@pssurvivor]

You're not the only one. My friends and I also agreed that it'd be exciting if our moms were dating haze

[@michalathompson3979]

I want to thank you cause I have been feeling so much despair and you made me laughso i really appreciate it

[@parisewellington3664]

I loved this movie and the streets was telling me I was wrong 🫠 so this video makes me feel vindicated 😂✨️

[@shayfoster6284]

Your energy is infectious in this video :)

[@taeri093]

Perfect timing, needed something to listen do while I do chores 😭

[@namaste_charlei]

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).
