75Where "Brockback" leaves its lovers where gay love stories have left them for centuries - isolated, ostracized and miserable - this small comedy finds a far more liberated alternative for everyone involved. In its own modest way, it's the far more radical film.
-
75The fluffmeister here is writer-director Ol Parker, and say this for young Ol: This may be his feature debut, but the guy is one hell of a smooth engineer.
-
75Beyond the lipstick-lesbian twist, this is a formula flick, but the acting is excellent. It also has genuine laughs.
-
67The snappy wit of the script make Ol Parker's British romantic comedy the equivalent of comfort food a pleasant cinematic snack.
-
67The film nearly works in spite of its adherence to formula, thanks to clever one-liners and appealing, sharply drawn supporting performances.
-
63Imagine Me & You isn't unpleasant, but it is unremarkable. If nothing else, it proves that gay romances can be just as uninspired as their heterosexual counterparts.
-
60A pleasant if pedestrian British romantic comedy.
-
60A slick but slight Brit pic, chockfull with tart one-liners and pretty posh people, with one major twist: The romantic leads are both women.
-
50The sex in the movie is so mild that I assumed the R rating was generated primarily by the gay theme, until I learned the R is in fact because of too many f-words.
-
50A tepid sort of romantic comedy, with lengthy stretches during which nothing much happens punctuated by bouts of paralyzing boredom or, on rare occasions, random but fleeting hilarity.
-
50Offers a few laughs - and little sexual heat.
-
50An innocuous, fluffy little nothing of an almost-pleasant movie.
-
50A year ago next week, Debra Messing's "The Wedding Date" arrived DOA. And now this. In terms of movies that matter, it looks as if the wedding-funeral motif will continue.
-
50A safe same-sex movie the family can embrace. At heart, it's a Britcom: a British situation comedy with superficial characters, mildly naughty humor and a familiarity that may make even homophobes comfy.
-
50Has its charms, but for a movie about loving radically, it sure plays it safe.
-
50Congratulations are in order for Rachel's sexual awakening, but we might as well applaud the dull girl for falling in love with the nearest bunch of lilies rather than the florist.
-
50Unapologetically cliched and determinedly upbeat (even when it shouldn't be).
-
50Not only is there not enough panting to bunch any panties, this polite romp could use more of that other L-word: laughs.
-
50If you're going to fall for this movie, you're going to have to buy not only the idea that adultery is excusable if you're "following your heart," but also that following your heart amounts to falling in love at first sight, a formulation that seems adolescent at best.
-
50Imagine settles disappointingly for rom-com cliches. It doesn't even bother to explore its own premise.
-
40Parker has a sensitive approach to the crise d'amour, but his lacklustre leading ladies contribute to an uneven tone.
-
40But while the film's tasty London settings add a whiff of elegance, Parker's confection collapses because we never believe Rachel and Luce as destined soul mates. The blame rests entirely with Perabo's meager performance.
-
40Enervating trifle.
-
40Strains so hard to be upbeat you can almost hear gears shifting.
-
38I guess there's something progressive going on when a lesbian love story gets to be just as dreadful and tacky as most straight ones.
