Every spring, I embark on the same mission: find the perfect Mother’s Day gift. I drive myself bonkers wading through the millions of Mother’s Day ads to find a trinket that — spoiler alert — my mom doesn’t actually want or need. That’s why this year, I’ve decided that the best Mother’s Day gift isn’t for sale, and simply carving out some time in our busy schedules to be together is the most meaningful way I can show her the gratitude she deserves.
The only thing that can improve upon some QT spent with my favorite lady? Finding the perfect viewing material that we’ll both love getting lost in. Enter: The Idea Of You on Prime Video. This flirty new romcom stars Anne Hathaway as 40-year-old single mom Solène, who embarks on an unexpected love affair with Hayes, the irresistible 24-year-old boy band frontman that she meets while chaperoning her teenage daughter at a music festival.
Based on the acclaimed book by Robinne Lee, The Idea of You delivers empowering female characters, mother-daughter moments, all the twists and turns, and a soundtrack that’ll make you want to get up and dance around your living room like a teenager. We know every mom is different, so we came up with five unique ideas centered around a Mother’s Day movie night to help you plan an experience that feels perfect for her.
