Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Griffiths is one of the most intensely interesting actresses at work today.

San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
At heart this is a thoughtful, well-made movie about something serious.
70
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Karmel delivers feminist fun even a guy can get.
67
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
William Arnold
Likely to provide many points of identification for many women.
63
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Far too self-absorbed a picture.
58
Portland Oregonian
Diana Abu-Jaber
Takes a look at the bumpy path to self-discovery.

Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Easy to take but ultimately rather aimless.

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.

Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Rachel Griffiths...is the best reason, nay, the only reason to pay attention to Me Myself I.
50
The New York Times
Stephen Holden
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.
50
Los Angeles Times
Gene Seymour
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.
50
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
If you were watching it at home you wouldn't feel compelled to pause the film before going into the kitchen to fix a snack.
50
Dallas Observer
Gregory Weinkauf
Ambitious in scope and humble in execution.
50
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
A comic vehicle for that valuable Australian export, Rachel Griffiths.
40
Village Voice
Dennis Lim
A feel-good, fatalist placebo.

Film.com
John Hartl
The script is a minefield of ideas that need more work.
38
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
A fascinating contrast in lifestyles.
20
LA Weekly
Hazel-Dawn Dumpert
It's bad enough that Australian writer-director Pip Karmel feels she must attempt the alternate-reality gimmick.

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