PSA: If you have not heard about The Idea of You yet, crawl out from that massive rock you simply must be living under and hop to it, fam. This is the single sexiest movie of our summer—and possibly our time—and deserves your full attention.

And don't stop at your attention: Get your crew in on the fun too! Escape the heat and host yourself a little viewing party, matching PJs and all, to watch some gorgeous people fall in love with each other against, you know, the odds, or whatever. You won't be disappointed, trust (and at worst, it's just another reason to giggle with the gang and sip Champagne, right?). To prep, we turned to Amazon to gather up 10 easy purchases that will make for the best. Night. Ever. Read on for more inspiration!
