Call it Sliding Doors for soccer moms, but Me Myself I is the only one of these currently fashionable which-life-is-real? pictures that has at its center a genuine question in the lives of modern women: family or career? The always wonderful and largely under-appreciated Rachel Griffiths (Hilary and Jackie) stars as Pamela, a laptop-toting workaholic women's magazine editor with a frustratingly empty love life. She encounters a white picket fence, married mother-of-three version of herself on the street, inadvertently changes places with her and is confronted with the life she might have had if she'd stayed with The One That Got Away. Writer-director Pip Karmel slips harsh realism (e.g. adultery) and sharp-edged humor into a diverting film that could have easily been a regrettable, pandering, re-examination-of-life, chick flick sit-com. Recommended. (R. Blackwelder)
