Consensus:
Aside from its lesbian theme, Imagine Me & You can only offer more of the same generic rom-com cliches.
Runtime: 1 hr 34 mins
Synopsis: A mainstream romantic-comedy with a twist, Ol Parker's IMAGINE ME & YOU stands out from the generic pack thanks to its gay-themed subject matter. The movie is as light and fluffy as the average movie in the genre, but as viewers scoop a mouthful of popcorn they may find their expectations subtly... [More]
Genre: Comedies
Starring: Piper Perabo, Matthew Goode, Lena Headey, Anthony Head, Eva Birthistle
Reviews
The American Perabo (doing a good English accent) and Headey are likable leads -- and Goode brings a touching vulnerability to his role as the luckless Heck.

Brit-com business as usual, right down to the outbursts of posh swearing and the fraught, last-minute dash through the London traffic.

In short, it's an absolute louse of a film -- 94 minutes of unimaginable, unspeakable awfulness.

Enjoyable romantic comedy that succeeds thanks to likeable characters and some good gags, despite falling foul of all the usual rom-com traps.

Parker has a sensitive approach to the crise d’amour, but his lacklustre leading ladies contribute to an uneven tone.

The comedy isn't very funny, the characters aren't particularly kind, and the plot isn't remotely credible.

Not to completely bash this trifle of a movie, as I'm sure writer/director Ol Parker is an entertaining gentleman at parties, but it really is emblematic of everything that is wrong with current independent filmmaking.

Imagine Me & You shamelessly embraces every romantic-comedy cliché in the book.

Imagine Me & You is more about fidelity and respect - or rather the lack thereof. It doesn't matter if the characters are gay, straight or bi. Cheating is cheating.

It's a fluffy little concoction that'll capably fill 90 minutes, but it's not destined to become anybody's newest favorite.

Snappy writing and spot-on performances from a terrific cast help the movie avoid all the pitfalls of cliché.
06/13/06
Parker’s command of moldy clichés is fluent (one character even says, with a straight face, 'Follow your heart').

If you're in the mood for a moonstruck trifle with a drizzly London setting, this might not be such a bad choice. All that's required is that you be as open-minded as the movie is open-hearted.

Imagine Me & You has its charms, but for a movie about loving radically, it sure plays it safe.
03/04/06
...neither great nor awful: On TV, it might seem better, but it's simply underpowered for the big screen.
02/27/06
Maybe it's a sign of progress that a mediocre gay romantic comedy can enter the mainstream marketplace and not create any stir.
