Imagine You and Me

If you have not guessed yet, I also have a thing for Piper Parabo. Yes, the list of ladies I like is long, but so is...the list of movies I've seen. Yes, that's it.

Imagine You and Me, the lyrics of the love song So Happy Together by The Turtles, which also happens to be my parents' wedding song, stars Piper as a British lady named Rachel who is getting married to Heck (Matthew Goode). However, during her walk down the aisle she makes eye contact with the florist who's walking out and has an instant attraction to her. There's something to be said for love at first site, though in this case it's lesbian love, not that there's anything wrong with that.

During the wedding reception, Rachel decides to meet up with the florist, who is played by Lena Headey. She finds that they have a mutual attraction and after the honeymoon decide to meet up again. While their love for each other grows, so does the suspicion from her husband. As time passes, Rachel realizes that she must make a decision - her husband or her girlfriend.

This isn't the first time Piper has played a woman with lesbian tendencies. The other movie was Lost and Delirious.

Piper did a good job with her British accent, as does Lena Headey, who actually happens to be from the Isle across the big pond. Headey is probably best known for playing Sarah Conner in the Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles.

Directed by Ol Parker, Imagine You and Me is 93 minutes long, is rated PG-13 for language and a bunch of lesbian sexuality.

There is nothing thrilling about the 2001 movie, though maybe some parts are intriguing. The ending is as I expected, but they got there using a different path than expected. Overall. not a bad movie. I give it 3 stars.
