Me Myself I

Pamela has everything that she ever wanted - everything, that is, except a devoted hubby and a few kids. But what if she hadn't turned Robert down, all those years ago? Where would she be now?

Pamela's life twists again and she's back with her friend, the one who said yes. She wanted to know what it would have been like, to choose the other path, and although we never find out much about how she spent the intervening time, she's clearly thrilled to be back, and her youngest has missed her. "Mummy's back!" he announces to the bewildered family.

Rachel Griffiths is developing into one of our most interesting actresses and she amply fleshes out both roles. She's wonderful to watch and is in almost every scene. I expect to see her again at this year's AFI awards, with at least a nomination for her performance. She gives us the highs and lows of both lives with equal verve, and you're left with a feeling of exhilaration for how far she's come. Both lives are portrayed in surprisingly brave honesty, and more than once I found myself squirming with recognition.

I enjoyed the film quite a lot. Although I don't usually go for romantic comedy, this one has a lot to offer women especially. How many of us in our thirties ask the same question? Like Pamela, we already know the answer.
