Product Description:
When a high-powered executive is diagnosed with terminal cancer, he determines to make a home video telling his baby son all the things a man must kno
Amazon.com:
Screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin (author of the fanciful Ghost) made his directorial debut with this more serious confrontation with the realities of death. Michael Keaton plays an advertising executive who learns he is dying even as his wife (Nicole Kidman) is pregnant. The film beautifully focuses on his anger over everything: the unfinished business of his life and the probability he'll never meet his child. The late Dr. Haing S. Ngor (The Killing Fields) is terrific as a doctor who helps Keaton's character to recognize the corrosiveness of his rage and to let go. The film is a heartbreaker but truly cathartic for anyone who has felt the blunt pain of losing someone close. Keaton is outstanding. --Tom Keogh

This movie was already a favorite, but I got a pleasant surprise when I got a used copy. One side of the disc was full screen - the other side was widescreen. It was so noted on the back of the case, and tiny little letters in the ring around the hub of the disc.
I realize all copies might not be the same as mine, so I posted some images to show what to look for.

Sentiment--to borrow the form of a popular definition--you know it when you feel it.
There is both the cornball and the genuine here. You will have lumps in your throat throughout this movie. What causes these lumps--whether it is the corn or the sentiment--will determine how much you care for this movie. And I cared (except when I didn't) and I was moved (except when I wasn't). There is an excellent chance this movie will deeply affect you. (The creative team behind this movie was involved ... Read More

This movie is one which really makes us sit back and evaluate our lives and our relationships with those we love. Michael Keaton does a superb performance in this movie. This is a movie should ...

I've been looking for this DVD in the stores and couldn't find it. I like this story very much. It's sad and my teenagers made fun of me for bawling like a baby but it was a good release. I like the way this story incorporates use of untraditional treatments for diseases. I agree wholeheartedly that our attitude is everything and we can find happiness even in the face of death.

A very moving film. I'm guessing that maybe it didn't get the attention it deserved because it was labeled too sentimental and mawkish-- but there's nothing wrong with "tear-jerker" elements that support a bigger point in the story. They do in My Life... and what point could possibly be bigger than "what makes life worth living?" (the focus of the film).
I agree with 97 percent of comments here on performance. The only thing that I would emphasize is that there are just superb performances by ... Read More
