IMAGINE ME & YOU is a 2005 co-production between the US and UK, which I guess explains why Piper Perabo stars with a fake accent. It's a good fake accent though. So forget I said anything.
Ol Parker's flick is set in London and we open with Perabo's wedding to Matthew Goode. They seem like a couple suitable for one of those pictures that comes with the frames you buy in the store, but Perabo becomes increasingly fascinated with the attractive florist who works the wedding because she's played by Lena Headey.
So we've got a straight girl who might not be so straight and I don't think this whole thing was even unique back in 2005. So there's a strike against it.
And unlike BROWN SUGAR, this flick does not take place in a world where there's anything interesting going on. The sad thing is the cast is super likable and the movie is pretty to look at, but there's just not that much going on.
There is a sweet, classic, Hollywood-ish ending involving our two lovers finding each other in a London traffic jam, and it's nice when the title song kicks in, but ultimately the flick is forgettable.
