Anchored by Anne Hathaway ’s Solene, a single mother and art gallery owner, and Nicholas Galitzine ’s Hayes Campbell, a young pop star from the fictional band August Moon, the film sets its sights on charting the course of an unconventional romance, but the script muddles it all up to produce a somewhat funny, somewhat entertaining, albeit overly long romantic comedy.
