The cordial company of the characters and the snappy wit of the script make Ol Parker's British romantic comedy the equivalent of comfort food a pleasant cinematic snack.

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
The characterizations are wooden, the interaction maudlin and the plot totally predictable.
02/02/06
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
Most of the running time is devoted to sitcom devices involving family members, friends, double meanings, close escapes and sincere heart-to-hearts.
02/02/06
Top Criticcinematic mush
02/02/06
Filled with plastic people, it strikes one false note after another in its painfully predictable plot.
02/01/06
There's a cinematic tradition that movies taking their titles from pop songs turn out to be bombs. 'Imagine Me & You' upholds it.
01/31/06
As a directorial and romantic debut, it shows promise for Parker's future projects.
01/28/06
Parker's charmingly bittersweet romantic comedy tackles quite a serious subject with sensitivity and respect.
01/27/06
An innocuous, fluffy little nothing of an almost-pleasant movie.
01/27/06
Top CriticBritish accents and names like 'Heck' just aren't enough to compensate for the generic quality and general lackluster feeling inspired by the film's plot and characters.
01/27/06
Applies the posh Britcom formula perfected in hits like Four Weddings and a Funeral to a lesbian romance with slick if fairly mild results.
01/27/06
Top CriticA gooey, tiresome bore, unconvincing in its lesbian relationship and deeply silly when it tries for big comic moments.
01/27/06
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
Matthew Goode and the capable supporting cast can't save this film from its bland mediocrity
01/27/06
Simple and unmemorable, something to watch on a lazy evening when there is nothing else to watch on the telly and quickly forget once it's over.
01/27/06
We need a villain instead of a victim if the happy romance between Rachel and Luce is going to work.
01/27/06
There's nothing wrong with love at first sight, but for Perabo -- who had shown no signs of being gay -- to suddenly get weak in the knees for a woman she doesn't know on the day of her nuptials is pushing reality just a bit, no?
01/27/06
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
Drama overwhelms Imagine's strident attempts at comedy.
