Bob Jones (Michael Keaton) is a promotions manager who is faced with a situation that will force him to look at his life and rethink the relationships he has made. His wife Gail (Nicole Kidman) is pregnant, and that's great... until Bob is told that he has cancer and will die in four months. At this point, (and that's where the movie starts) Bob decides that he is going to videotape himself, allowing him to leave hours of father training for his child after he is gone.
My Life is full of humour, love, and cliches. But what really makes this movie work is that these people seem ordinary. They have the same concerns most people would have in this situation, allowing viewers to more easily relate to the characters. Best of all, the film drives the viewer to want to change for the better. Don't be surprised if you laugh as hard as you cry. My Life is funny, warm, and thoughtful... just the way life should be.
