Imagine Me and You (1:33) 2005

Set in modern day England,  Rachel and Hector's wedding day is here. All goes well except for one hitch. Rachel is instantly attracted to Luce, the florist. After the wedding, the couple invites Luce for dinner to introduce her to Cooper, a real ladies' man. Luce isn't interested in Cooper or any other man. She is attracted to Rachel. As time goes on, Rachel is continually drawn to Luce. Heck becomes aware that Rachel has changed and is convinced that it is his fault. Rachel is conflicted, she doesn't want to hurt Heck, her long time friend and recent husband. Imagine Me and You received poor reviews but I thought that the film treated the subject in a very sensitive manner. Heck is a good man and realizes that Rachel can not be happy staying married but he is distraught over losing Rachel. Rachel is torn between  Heck and Luce. Luce believes that single people should never come between a married couple. Whatever the outcome, someone will be hurt. Heck is portrayed by Matthew B. Goode as a sensitive man who heart is being broken. At first, Heck is not understanding what is going wrong in the marriage and reveals to his friend, Coop, that he is afraid to find out. This movie maybe the quality of a made for television movie but it deserves to be recognized for the dignified manner in which it handled the subject matter.
