Warning: Spoilers
Imagine Me & You is a rather harmless romantic comedy with a great great cast. The setup has been covered to death but Piper Perabo and Lena Headey lock eyes during Piper's march down the wedding aisle and everything else in the movie plays out. I especially liked Matthew Goode's performance. The third wheel in a romantic comedy is always the most difficult but he pulls it off pretty well. Since all of this is in the trailer I'm not sharing a spoiler but when he breaks up with Piper he wants her to be happy, just happy with him you can sense his heart breaking. To paraphrase from the book "Love Monkey" sometimes the dealer looks at you and says, "You lost. Try your luck at a different table".

One thing, Imagine Me & You really isn't funny enough to be a comedy or serious enough to be a drama. It is a light fluffy slice of life about one woman's search for love. The problem with being true to yourself is the damage your search causes to the people you love.

I very much enjoyed this movie and hope you see it.

BTW The babe factor is extremely high with Piper and Lena but there is less objectionable material (other than content) than you would find on a PAX TV show. How can you have two drop dead chicks in a romance and not have a single bit of nudity? Hey maybe this was a tragedy?
