My Life Without Me
- Rating:
- Director:
- Starring: Amanda Plummer
- Details: US / 106 mins / (15PG).
Humdrum melodrama in which a young mother (Polley) discovers she is terminally ill, and so embarks on a series of experiences in an attempt to live her short life to the fullest. The full-on tugging of heart-strings is shameless, and the question begs to be asked: would a young mother really not tell anyone she was dying?
