A lesbian RomCom that doesn't suck more than your average RomCom...rock on!

Having realized just how little downtime I'd been giving myself and the fact that I'd been neglecting my girlfriend horribly, I decided to do something I hadn't done in a long time, watch a movie.

We got Imagine Me & You through Netflix, and I was skeptical. The Netflix description said:

In this delightful romantic comedy that gives new meaning to the term cold feet , bride-to-be Rachel (Piper Perabo) is love-struck ... but not with her groom. Instead, as she's marching down the aisle with her longtime sweetheart, Heck (Matthew Goode), Rachel is immediately bewitched by a beautiful guest (Lena Headey). Now, the newlywed must choose between the safety of a familiar relationship and her heart's true desire.

Not a lot in the description and I wasn't sure if it was going to be bad or really bad, but the girlfriend had put it on the queue so I figured we'd watch it.

It turned out to be pretty good, considering it was a romantic comedy (a genre I do not have the highest esteem for). It managed to avoid most, if not all, of the major pitfalls of any movie focused around a lesbian relationship. (warning spoilers below, if you actually think you'll ever watch the movie and don't want me to spoil the ending, stop reading now!)
