‘The Idea of You’ review: Anne Hathaway’s sexy romance is better than you’d expect

Anne Hathaway’s career in Hollywood began 23 years ago with a family movie about every teen girl’s ultimate fantasy — her geeky character discovered she was actually royalty.Now 41, the actress has delivered a second dose of impossible escapism with “The Idea of You,” an, ahem, steamier, R-rated flick clearly made for the older millennials who obsessed over “The Princess Diaries” back in the aughts.Her latest fizzy project instead realizes the dream of every bored woman in their thirties and forties: She plays an exhausted single mom who has a fling with a famous, 24-year-old British boybander. And why not? What fun.Anyway, I suspect that aspirational viewers of “The Idea of You,” a decadent diversion that’s based on the popular novel by Robinne Lee, would much rather jet set around Europe with Harry Styles than live in a moldy 300-year-old palace and cut ribbons.
