Imagine Me & You
Alien was up against a "Firewall" so he sent some junior critics to check out this sneak preview.
On their wedding day at the church, a happy young couple are about to embark on life together when the bride-to-be catches the eye of an unexpected guest. The following is the report filed by my trainee:
"ImagineMe & You" takes place in current day London England. Rachel (Piper Parabo) and Heck (Mathew Goode) have just recently gotten married and seem very much in love. Rachel and the florist Luce( Lena Headey) become very good friends during the wedding process and the friendship builds after the wedding. During a visit to Rachel’s home Luce admits to Heck that she is gay. Cooper (Darren Boyd) is Heck’s best friend and is determined to get Luce in the bed whether she is gay or not. Luce and Rachel seem to grow closer as friends but the pursuit of friendship or more seems more on Rachel’s end, who is by the way happily married. Heck is not in any way phased by the friendship. Overall the acting was about average and the story was easy to follow but some of the scenes seemed forced and not how they might naturally happen. We all know life isn’t fair but this movie doesn’t leave you with a good feeling in the end. I wasn’t happy for any of the main characters at the end of this movie. This movie speaks to your moral compass and is it OK to destroy something blessed by God to satisfy a feeling even if this feeling is not blessed by God? Not to sound holier than thou but depending on where your moral compass is will determine how you will feel when you leave this movie. If we look at something wrong long enough it starts to looks normal.
My trainee gives it 2 stars out of 4.
