i can't see me loving nobody but you
I watched "Imagine Me & You" last night because ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dollsome told me to, and OH MY GOOOOOD. The story is just so enchanting and cleverly written, and though it does drift off into the land of slight cheesiness near the end, it is just so, SO, superb (and "Happy Together" - ONE OF MY FAVORITEST SONGS IN THE UNIVERSE - is the montage song at the end!).
And the acting, Jesus Christ. The cast is fantastic and while some parts make you feel like you are about to explode with GLEE, some parts hurt so much it's like they yanked your heart out of your chest and put it through a paper shredder. All the characters are so much fun and so realistic; from the main couple, Rachel and Luce (Luce is played by the incredible Lena Headey, and let me say, it is SO STRANGE to see her play a character who isn't constantly being kickass and shooting people in the face, at first, but she pulls it off INCREDIBLY), to H, Rachel's precocious and adorable little sister, to Hec, Rachel's husband (played by the amazing and drool-worthy Matthew Goode!) - which is especially lovely, since usually the antagonist in romantic comedies is a total caricature, and not sympathetic AT ALL. Everyone has wonderful chemistry, the relationships are well-formed and believable, and it's such a legitimately good movie. Also, who should show up at the end but ANGEL COULBY? Acting wonderfully Gwen-like and generally being adorable!
In addition, it is SO BEAUTIFUL. Like, full on "Notes On A Scandal" beautiful. So beautiful, that I felt the urge to picspam, and what was supposed to be a maybe 40 cap affair turned into 100+ caps. Er, oops?

AND DUDE, that is Angel at the end, whoa!! I don't think my brain ever clicked on that, because I haven't watched it since I got into Merlin! Oh, YAY ALL OVER.

I think the only other romcom I hold in my heart with this much fondness is ... er ... The Mirror Has Two Faces, starring Barbra Streisand and Jeff Bridges. I feel like I should be more ashamed of that than I am, but come on! Geeky over-the-hill professors entering a marriage of convenience for the sake of companionship and intellectual harmony! It's like it was MADE FOR ME AND ME ALONE. Which is a pretty great arrangement, considering I sometimes think I am the only person in the world who likes it.

I think I would live without extra userpics at this point. Why? IT IS RARE THAT I EVER GET MORE THAN 50 UPLOADED WITHOUT GOING ON A DELETING FRENZY.
