‘The Idea of You’ (May 2, Amazon Prime Video)

Based on the book by Robinne Lee, ‘The Idea of You’ centers on a mother of a teenager daughter, Selene (Anne Hathaway), who stumbles into a real-life fantasy when she meets and then begins to date the lead singer of a popular boy band (Nicholas Galiztine). The two’s chemistry is off the charts but can a real relationship thrive under the glare of the spotlight? The fanfic-y premise has plenty of depth here thanks to a script by Jennifer Westfeldt and Michael Showalter (who also directs). It’s an updated, gender-swapped version of ‘Notting Hill’ — and another signal that rom-coms have some life in them yet. —ES
