Critics Consensus

Aside from its lesbian theme, Imagine Me & You can only offer more of the same generic rom-com cliches.

Imagine Me & You shamelessly embraces every romantic-comedy cliché in the book. Go to Full Review Xan Brooks Guardian 06/24/2006
2/5
Brit-com business as usual, right down to the outbursts of posh swearing and the fraught, last-minute dash through the London traffic. Go to Full Review Edward Lawrenson Time Out 06/24/2006
The American Perabo (doing a good English accent) and Headey are likable leads -- and Goode brings a touching vulnerability to his role as the luckless Heck. Go to Full Review Princess Weekes The Mary Sue 03/10/2021
It was nice seeing it not being either a traditional coming out story or inherently a gayangst story-just a love connection with bad timing that ends up working out, without turning anyone into a bad person. Go to Full Review Tara Thorne The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) 07/11/2016
Imagine Me & You is... a quietly compelling, heartwarming watch, exactly the kind of thing people have in mind when they say, "It's a renter." Go to Full Review Heather Boerner Common Sense Media 12/18/2010
4/5

Tom F @RT55173143 Jun 22 A reasonably entertaining inversion of romcom tropes. See more Alaina F @Alainaefisher Dec 29 I love this film! It is so quaint and unique. See more Wendy B @WoodlandElf Nov 8 I love love loved this movie! I watched it many times. Highly recommended! See more Kalissa H @kali_416 06/10/2025 I liked that the plot didn’t pair Rachel with a horrible man. Instead it was a situation where it wasn’t true love with Heck even though Heck was a kind, great guy. See more Micaela M @RT84380809 01/24/2025 Any lesbian will love this movie, any straight man or woman probably not so much. See more Kimberly G @RT59098070 12/01/2024 My absolutely favourite movie. Watch this many many times. See more Read all reviews
