Too much of everything

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

I know I have to fill up 10 sentences, but please let me be clear. The title says it all and what a little gem it was! From here on it's all just jibberjabber to fill up those 10 sentences.A true sparkle, as a sudden flash in the air, came through the screen and struck me. This is a tail about true love.The story never came across as mundane humdrum neither hasn't it mocked the obvious stereotypes as Hollywood always seems so prone to display. Perhaps in the most conventional way -as it is- but somehow Hollywood sees it as controversial, this story shows us the unfolding of something greater than life, namely love. The cast certainly loved this project and I can see that shining through the screen. The spoken lines, the body language, the laughter or even the difficult discussions, it just all came together.If you can use a sparkle, if you want to be inspired, go and sit and watch this little gem of a movie.

So we look at Rachel and Hecks wedding, to me, it wasn't the look of an ordinary wedding to me. In fact, it looked pretty dull and dreary that if it was my wedding, I would've hated it! There was no sparkle to it, even if Rachel felt in love with Luce and not Hecks. Also every actor that were the 'guests' in the wedding scene, they didn't show compassion that the bride and groom were officially married! It was like they knew Rachel and Luce were meant to be together!To make this short and sweet, I found Hecks character really wimpy especially towards the end. I'm like 'cmon act like an adult here, yes its a bummer that you've been cheated on but there will be someone that would love you for who you are!'. Seriously that guy needed to grow up lol! Now for the positives, the film was overall good and I like the fact how the American actors in the film made a HUGE effort on putting on a proper English accent as it can be really hard to do and the little girl that played H enlightened this film with her quotes & questions that we would all be wondering the same!

The characters in this film are good-looking, polite, rational and reasonably considerate. But they are also pretty bland. The plot is a bride gets a crush on her female florist, but is in denial it is a sexual attraction. She gets in too deep before she twigs.The plot proceeds a glacial pace because of the bride's ambivalence.The movie does not shy away from depicting the hurt her loving husband faces.The ending is corny to the max, with a happy ending for all, even the jilted husband. The ending just comes out of the blue without cause. Even a grandchild appears from some unknown womb to give the mother her fondest wish. It makes no sense.There is one scene that made me howl with laughter because it highlighted how utterly clueless the writer was about gay men. The married couple disturb two men having sex in a park at night. The two gay men then formally introduce themselves.The casting director favours a certain type of British man. I was often confused by which Cary Grant clone I was looking at.The movie treats a F-F couple as something highly exotic, shocking and unexpected. It is just not that big a deal anymore. I think the writer made up the screenplay out of his imagination of what he though it might be like to be a lesbian, not from the experiences of his lesbian friends. For example, Luce is extremely pretty and pleasant to be around, but has almost no friends.The music is great. It has big lush sound, lots of variety, melodious, fun.

Everyone has their guilty pleasures. Unfortunately for me, mine are the tasteless, cliché romantic comedies that Hollywood keeps churning out. Well that, and of course, Mean Girls. Imagine Me And You has just made it into my list of 'Guilty Pleasure Movies'. In this movie, a newlywed bride (Piper Perabo) becomes infatuated with another woman (Lena Headey), who questions her sexual orientation, promoting a stir among the bride's family and friends. Then again the movie caption of "There goes the bride" and its poster is clearly misleading because one would assume that the bride runs off with someone else at the wedding itself. Nonetheless, no matter how cliché and boring the storyline is, it was a watchable movie.There was very little deliberate, calculated development to the storyline at all. I felt that the movie focused too much on the bride's problematic relationship with her husband, rather than her risky affair with Luce. So, by the end of the movie when she runs off looking for the woman she loves (spoiler: they end up happy together. Who would've guessed?), I hadn't known that her infatuation had already turned into a full blown romance. The writing was pretty lacking in that aspect, but it was an interesting romantic comedy anyway. Well, the whole idea of a married woman falling in love with someone else at her wedding is a little exhausted, but I guess the writer thought 'I know how to twist things around! Let's make them lesbians!'Alas, the soundtrack is predictable as well. Honestly, I would give the movie a 5.5/10, simply because of the effort at trying to make this movie less uninteresting and more marketable. Also because this is a very 'shark week' movie, movies whereby women cry along to once a month with a pint of ice cream. As much as it pains me to say this, I think I'll be joining that group of women.
