Unfortunately, it has no people in it; only a bunch of gag dispensers.

RTChicago Sun-TimesJan 1, 2000

What's new about This is My Life is that it's an argument between the two points of view -- with the mother and her daughters each demanding their own rights. There is humor in this approach, and also some truth.

RTHartford CourantApr 10, 2018

Nora Ephron's directing debut with a mother-daughter bonding comedy goes through its ups and downs -- almost like life.

Poorly executed, Nora Ephron's feature debut as director is like a TV sit-com, defying realism and logic
