5.0 out of 5 stars not for every taste Oct 9 2003

By bookloversfriend

Format:DVD

If you like sophisticated comedy with insightful and psychologically well-informed content, this is a movie for you. The filmmaker could have oversimplified either married life or single life, but didn't. She could have glorified one or the other, but didn't. Neither life is ideal. Neither lifestyle gives Pamela everything she wants and wanted. There are no easy answers and no easy way. Single or married, Pamela will have to work at it and to accept a less-than-ideal life. In the end, she does. And Rachel Griffiths, of course, is priceless!

1.0 out of 5 stars Embarrased this was made in Australia Oct 12 2002

By Linda

Format:VHS Tape

The idea was,although not original,a good one.A single woman enters an alternative reality in which she is married with 2 kids.However,I'm ashamed to say that like many Aussie movies the movie-makers are too obsessed with sex to concentrate on a great storyline.We could have seen more interaction with the sheila's kids..even though she doesn't remember giving birth to them,is she starting to feel bonded to them?We know she wipes her little boys asse but thats it.Does she decide to read him bedtime stories?,talk to him about school??We don't know,and the reason we don't know is because the movie people are too interested in filling up the film with her sex life.This takes away precious time for telling an interesting story.This movie was really [bad

4.0 out of 5 stars What If ... With Mature Themes? July 29 2002

By Edward Lee

Format:DVD

ME MYSELF I is a wonderfully uplifting and inspiring movie by a bunch of Australian filmmakers -- sort of an adult-themed FREAKY FRIDAY.

Rachel Griffiths stars as Pamela Dickson, a thirtysomething journalist yearning with a passion to connect emotionally with another person. She lives in the past, clinging psychologically to the scenario of "What if I had accepted that marriage proposal from the man of my dreams?" long ago.

Little does she know that SHE DID, but that Pamela Dickson is wondering, "What if I had said no?"

Through a twist of fate, the two Pams meet and magically change places, each learning valuable lessons about why they made the choices that they did ... and why they're infinitely better human beings for having done so.

The film is delivered with an adult wit (some relatively strong sexual themes pervade a significant portion of the film), and the acting by Ms. Griffiths -- as well as all of the principals -- is right on. While the filmmakers could've taken a wrong turn to make this romantic comedy into a tragedy of mid-life angst, they stepped clear of it and, instead, delivered a compact story that deals with one woman's reaction to life's unexpected foibles.

In short, ME MYSELF I is a wonderful story with only a single flaw: alas, it could never happen.
