Consensus: Aside from its lesbian theme, Imagine Me & You can only offer more of the same generic rom-com cliches.

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... [More]

Reviews for Imagine Me & You
...neither great nor awful: On TV, it might seem better, but it's simply underpowered for the big screen.
02/27/06
Matthew Goode should kiss the writers; he has the best lines (guaranteed to make any straight woman swoon and offer themselves up as his rebound girl).
01/27/06
Snappy writing and spot-on performances from a terrific cast help the movie avoid all the pitfalls of cliché.
06/13/06
...this is the sort of movie that's almost impossible to all-out dislike (provided one approaches it with the appropriate mindset).
09/18/05
A generally pleasant distraction.
03/01/07
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.
06/24/06
A little more thought into the characters' motives and the consequences of their actions might have made the film more resonant, instead of fluffy and mildly puzzling the way it is.
01/27/06
A bewitching romantic drama set in London about love at first sight and the consequences of this sudden surge of love that defies all reason.
01/25/06
As a directorial and romantic debut, it shows promise for Parker's future projects.
01/28/06
It's not hard to like these people and to empathize with their romantic plight.
02/14/06
What makes Imagine Me & You noteworthy at this particular moment in film history is that it openly faces issues that Brokeback Mountain avoids.
02/10/06
Parker's frothy relationship drama/comedy of manners throws a few curves into the rec room of romantic triangles.
01/26/06
Top Critic...elevated to the status of pleasant diversion thanks to its comic supporting cast.
02/03/06
Parker's charmingly bittersweet romantic comedy tackles quite a serious subject with sensitivity and respect.
01/27/06
Naming a film after a song generally displays a lack of imagination.
01/26/06
The movie has good energy, it's easy on the eyes and the strong supporting cast includes Celia Imrie, Anthony Head and Darren Boyd.
02/03/06
Perabo and Headey sizzle with unrequited desires, and the film, directed by Ol Parker, is often hilarious.
02/08/06
A romantic, tolerant and tame twist on the notion of love at first sight, Imagine Me and You displays respectable people confronting difficult feelings in a mature -- if simplistic -- way.
02/02/06
Enjoyable romantic comedy that succeeds thanks to likeable characters and some good gags, despite falling foul of all the usual rom-com traps.
