Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Imagine Me & You is worth clearing space for. Imagine Me & You does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. During her wedding ceremony, Rachel notices Luce in the audience and feels instantly drawn to her. The two women become close friends, and when Rachel learns that Luce is a lesbian, she realizes that despite her happy marriage to Heck, she is falling for Luce. As she questions her sexual orientation, Rachel must decide between her stable relationship with Heck and her exhilarating new romance with Luce. Piper Perabo and Lena Headey lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2006. What keeps Imagine Me & You from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Imagine Me & You. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Piper Perabo's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
