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
I really like the people in Imagine Me and You, but I can't stand the movie they're stuck in.
02/09/06
Whether you can invest in the central conceit is iffy, but Parker gets a lot of mileage out of deftly managing the delicate balance of sweet and tart, sentimental and clever.
02/09/06
The story settles for bad sitcom humor, a pedestrian romantic-comedy plot and a ridiculously sunny conclusion that belies the complexity of the situation and provides every party involved with an easy way out.
02/09/06
Perabo and Headey sizzle with unrequited desires, and the film, directed by Ol Parker, is often hilarious.
02/08/06
I guess there's something progressive going on when a lesbian love story gets to be just as dreadful and tacky as most straight ones.
02/04/06
Romance is fine and dandy, but when it's treated as the cake, instead of the icing on it, you hardly end up with an authentic, interesting story
02/03/06
Had it not been for the homosexual content this script would have been considered too crappy to film
02/03/06
As nice as it is to imagine popular movies depicting lesbian relationships without guilt or trauma, Imagine Me&You ultimately trips over its own daft enthusiasm.
02/03/06
Top CriticThe characters never really emerge as individuals; they're pretty puppets, moving through their prescribed paces.
02/03/06
When weak British comedies imitate bad American ones, all we get is mediocrity with more verbal velocity.
02/03/06
Parker has a weakness for the outrageous narrative coincidence.
02/03/06
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
Everything has its rightful place, everyone has their happy purpose, and you can't help but grin at the sheer winning symmetry of the thing.
02/03/06
Parker never gets in hugging distance of the clever wittiness of Love Actually, and the screenplay makes its featherweight American predecessor Kissing Jessica Stein seem like Edward Albee.
02/03/06
Top Critic...elevated to the status of pleasant diversion thanks to its comic supporting cast.
02/03/06
There's enough chemistry and sexual tension between the leads for Imagine Me & You not to be hopelessly boring.
02/03/06
charming performances from the ensemble cast
02/02/06
The real departure is not the gender of the loved one -- it is the violation of the "almost" rule of comedy. The disconnect between tone and action prevents it from achieving the essential spirit of lightness and possibility.
02/02/06
Settles disappointingly for rom-com cliches. It doesn't even bother to explore its own premise.
