Directed: Michael Showalter
Rating: 3/5
Runtime: 115 min

The latest romantic comedy from Michael Showalter (The Big Sick), is a generic meet-cute that is mushy and endearing. This film is based on the acclaimed, contemporary love story of the same name by Robinne Lee, and centers on 40-year-old single mom, someone who has little faith left in love, Solène (Anne Hathaway), who inadvertently falls in love with an emotionally cautious 24-year-old Hayes Campbell (Nicholas Galitzine), the lead singer of August Moon, the hottest boy band on the planet.

Solène, who was looking forward to a solo camping trip, is forced to take her ex-husband Daniel’s (Reid Scott) place to chaperone her teenage daughter Izzy (Ella Rubin) to the Coachella Music Festival. A chance encounter with Hayes, leads to more meetings and eventually love sets in with all its accompanied age-gap and fame-related complications. The whirlwind affair changes the Silver Lake mother’s life and, her relationship with her daughter also gets affected. So Solene is forced to line-up her own priorities while confronting vicious online vitriol of Hayes’ rabid fanbase.
