Pamela Drury, a journalist in her thirties, is in a rut. She suddenly remembers her love for Robert Dickson, a man who went to marry another woman and appears to be happily married now. Pamela wonders how her life would have turned out had she married Robert. Ben, a kind soul, who wants to pursue his interest in Pamela, arrives in her life at the time when her vivid imagination takes her to change places with the real Mrs. Dickson.

Needless to say, the sophisticated Pamela Drury, sticks out like a sore thumb among this well adjusted family living an uncomplicated life in their spacious home. Pamela relives her passion for Robert, a man that turned out to be not everything she remembered. She gets much more than what she bargained for, until the day she sees the family celebrating in their favorite restaurant and she realizes she doesn't fit in that picture, at all.

Pip Karmel created a charming film, which even on a second viewing, leaves the viewer smiling. It helps to have a good cinematographer to enhance the movie, something that Graham Lind does with great style. The movie score by Charlie Chan works well in the context of the film, but ultimately, Ms. Karmel shows she has quite a knack for directing this winning comedy.

The main reason for watching "Me, Myself, I" is Rachel Griffiths. This wonderful actress runs away with the picture. She is unique in that she can play comedy and drama with equal amounts of intelligence and wit. David Roberts makes a pleasant Robert Dickson and Sandy Winton is good as Ben.

Highly recommended because of the combined talents of Pip Karmel and Rachel Griffiths.
