Film.com Ernest Hardy
Though the film is generally weak, treading very familiar ground, those dashes of insight and humor - along with Griffiths' performance - pull you into the film.

Rachel Griffiths...is the best reason, nay, the only reason to pay attention to Me Myself I.

A sugarcoated romantic comedy that is just clever enough to make you wish it were three times as smart and only a third as sweet.

Griffiths' Pam holds your attention without any gratuitous mannerisms or broad asides. It's a sleek, rangy performance that all but redeems the hackneyed familiarity of the premise.

It's bad enough that Australian writer-director Pip Karmel feels she must attempt the alternate-reality gimmick.

Despite this chance to experience something thrilling and new, her life is just as dull the second time around.
