Imagine You and Me (stylized as Imagine You & Me) is a 2016 Philippine romantic comedy film directed by Mike Tuviera starring Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza under APT Entertainment, GMA Films, and M–Zet TV Production, Inc. The film was released on July 13, 2016 as AlDub's first anniversary offering, which happened on July 16, 2016, three days after the film was shown. It was screened primarily in the Philippines and also had screenings in other countries such as Canada, Italy, and the United States. The film follows the story of Andrew and Gara as their opposite beliefs cross paths in Italy.
The Cinema Evaluation Board of the Philippines evaluated the film as high quality and gave a B grade. On its first day of showing in cinemas, the film grossed over ₱21.5 million making 2016's highest opening gross for a Philippine film until it was surpassed by Barcelona: A Love Untold.
Gara (Maine Mendoza) is an OFW who works very hard in Italy and believes in destiny and true love. On the other hand, Andrew (Alden Richards) is a medical student who was brokenhearted and is very pragmatic and not enthusiastic about accepting fate. As they cross paths in Italy, their personal beliefs help them recognize each other and view love in an unusual way.
Circumstances in her family led to Gara's departure from the Philippines and work in various jobs in Italy. One of her job involves pet sitting the dog of Clarissa (Jasmine Curtis-Smith). One day in a park, Gara sees Andrew who seems sad and heartbroken. Suddenly, a thief grabs Andrew's bag and then goes after the snatcher. Gara also pursues the thief and gets the bag from the thief but Andrew is nowhere in sight. She peruses Andrew's smartphone to find contacts and inform them about the whereabouts of Andrew's belongings.
