cedars650258516 The movie had the drab feel of early 90's movies, though the cast was well put together and acted well. There were points in the movie where I was sincerely touched, which is always nice, but other times the movie took odd turns. The ending in particular was nothing to write home about. And I must say ruined the movie for me. For the beginning middle, and near end of the movie I was really touched and it had me in one of those moods where I rethink every detail of my pitiful life. The ending ruined it for me. I watched the credits scroll and thought to myself "That has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever seen", but the movie had me going for a majority of it, so I didn't rate the movie too low. It was.... alright. I would recommend it to a not-so big movie person, but wouldn't watch it again.

namashi_1 Bruce Joel Rubin's 1993 flick 'My Life' is one of those films, that remain underrated for unknown reasons and how! I wasn't aware of 'My Life', despite being a hardcore fan of Michael Keaton & Nicole Kidman. I checked their filmographies and I clicked on the main page, and I was moved by it's storyline. 'My Life' is undoubtedly, one of the best films I've ever watched in recent times.The Writer-Director knows what he wants to make, he knows his intentions. He succeeds in all departments, this film makes you realize 'That Every Moment Of Your Life Is To Be Counted & Remembered'. A beautiful film on a man's last days.Keaton is astonishing, watch him in the scene when his family arrives to see him in L.A. for the first time. You'll get moved. Kidman is fantastic. The helplessness of losing her husband is always visible in her eyes, which make your eyes hurt real bad. It's one of her career's best works in my opinion.on the whole 'My Life' is a must watch. Two Thumbs Up!

meesamcduck This movie just blew me away. It was such an incredible life-comparison film. It guided you to the core of a deep relationship between a man and a woman who are going through a difficult family crisis. I for one can compare my life to this film, i've been through a a very difficult time where i was losing both my grandparents and it's very, very hard to deal with.I think, in some cases, it's difficult to make an emotional tragedy film (along with other genres too, of course), and i'm very proud of the actors, writers, producers, and every single person involved in "My Life" because they couldn't have made it any greater than it already is.This film instantly delivers you into its atmosphere and shows you reality. Life isn't fair, and we all have to live it that way. Many individuals take advantage of life, but you don't know what you have until you don't have it anymore.Bob Jones: "Dying's a really hard way to learn about life".My personal opinion of what i think this quote means is that dying shows you how great and brutal life can be and it should be an honor that you have had the chance of experiencing it, even though death is frightening.

duffman_o This movie is written so well! Every time I watch it, it makes me become more introspective. I will take stock of my own life, and re-appreciate the people around me. The movie also exposes the personal pain that we carry through our own life, thus calling me to forgive.I believe the father - son relationship in the film is wonderful. Hell, the whole family dynamic used to portray personal baggage is perfectly relatable.The movie is a real tear jerker for me. I do not weep during films ... this one I do. STILL.The only pan I have is a slight one. I am not a Nicole Kiddman fan. Her emotional range is typical hers .... Weak. A stronger actress, would have put this film in the box of Kleenex hall of fame!
