Summary: Carrey's back to his classic, over the top form.
Review: With this movie, Carrey moves back to his comedic roots. THE TRUMAN SHOW was okay. Carrey's semi-dramatic acting was actually decent. However, I like him much better as an over the top comedian. We get that again in this movie.Carrey's portrayal of a schizofrenic person was brilliantly hilarious. The polar opposites of the two personas were great and Carrey pulled both of them off like no one else could. Charlie is the sensitive, kinda oblivious guy while Hank is the in-your-face, take-no-crap, tough guy. There were scenes in this movie that had me rolling with laughter. If I were to explain them, they wouldn't be as funny, so I won't even try. It's classic Carrey, though. Reminded me a lot of ACE VENTURA. Renee Zellweger was also really good in this movie. She was, at times, vulnerable with Charlie, but then she'd turn around and not take any crap from Hank. It was interesting to see her character's reactions to the two sides of Carrey's character. I enjoyed her performance a lot. This wasn't quite as good as ACE VENTURA or DUMB AND DUMBER, but still really enjoyable. If you liked those movies, then you should also like this one. I hope Carrey does a lot more in this style.

Summary: Carrey, Carrey And Renee
Review: The Farrelly brothers strike again, with a movie that is alternately outrageous, gross, stupefying, visually eclectic, unpredictable and, most importantly, hilarious. With "Me, Myself & Irene," the same zany duo that brought us "There's Something About Mary," have outdone themselves, and this time around they have Jim Carrey, again, to boot. If ever there was a marriage made in cinematic comedic heaven, it's Carrey and the Farrelly brothers. "Dumb and Dumber" (which also starred Carrey) was just a warm up for this one, though. Here Carrey plays an eighteen year veteran of the Rhode Island highway Patrol, whose wife left him early in his career, not long after delivering triplets (all boys), the father of whom Charlie (Carrey) obviously is not. Mild mannered, good guy Charlie never questions the lineage, however, and when the story picks up, the three are highly intelligent (their parents were both MENSA presidents), strapping (to say the least) boys, who share a loving relationship with their father. Charlie is just too good for his own sake, though, and after years of suppressed anger and avoiding any kind of confrontation, the dam finally bursts. His psychological needs have created a split personality, and "Hank" emerges with a vengeance. He quickly winds up in trouble and on medication, but it's only the beginning for him. He's assigned to take a prisoner, Irene (Renee Zellweger), to upstate New York, where she is wanted on a bogus hit-and-run beef. The real problem is, a former boyfriend thinks she's been privy to some shady dealings in which he's been involved, that have to do with his golf course (where she was greenskeeper), and the DEQ. Soon Charlie and Irene are being pursued by a wrong cop (Chris Cooper) and a crooked DEQ agent (Richard Jenkins), and "Hank" takes over when Charlie just can't stand the heat. And so begins the laugh filled adventures of Charlie, Hank and Irene. Jim Carrey really breaks loose in this one, in what amounts to a duel role. Charlie is such a nice guy, totally benign, who gets no respect on the job or from the people in town, but who is nevertheless a stand-up fellow and good father. When Hank emerges, though, all bets are off; affecting a Clint Eastwood, "Dirty Harry" style vocal rasp and an intimidating demeanor, the least civic infraction or personal affront no longer goes unattended. If there was ever any doubt about it, Carrey here proves that he is nothing less than a master of physical transformation; his initial change into Hank is awesome to behold, and as the story progresses he slips effortlessly between one character and the other, and his final confrontation (with himself) is a riot. And he does it by dexterously taking it to the edge without going completely over the top into the ridiculous. Zellweger gives a notable performance, as well; initially somewhat nondescript, she warms up as things move along, and ultimately her Irene emerges as a rather endearing character. It's a tough part, given the fact that she is competing, somewhat, in what is predominately a showpiece for Carrey, but she is just winsome enough to keep herself in the running throughout. The supporting cast includes Robert Forster (the Lieutenant, Captain, Colonel) and Michael Bowman (Whitey). As with all of their movies, this offering from Peter and Bobby Farrelly is not going to be for everyone; it is politically incorrect and anything but subtle from beginning to end. But it is funny, at times hysterical, and it's one of Carrey's best performances, one in which he aptly demonstrates just how versatile he really is. There are some over-the-top, gross-out sight gags, definitely not for the squeamish, and some of the language is off-color. If you're familiar with the Farrelly's previous work, you'll know what to expect; if not, just steel yourself and get ready for a wild ride. No matter what your personal sensitivity level is, you're going to laugh at "Me, Myself & Irene," even if it's in spite of yourself. At the very least, you're going to find out what all the fuss is over Jim Carrey. One way or another, this is one movie you're not likely to forget, and the chances are pretty good that you're going to want to see it again.

Summary: Not One of Carrey's Best
Review: Jim Carrey gives a good performence (as usual) in this crazy story of a cop with a dual personality, but it is not enough to save this silly film from a early trip to the bargain bin. I think if I were a black person, I might be more than somewhat offended by this film. Carrey's three sons are black and while they are supposed to be geniuses, for some reason they can't stop repeating a certain phrase (Mother____) over and over. It's as if this film is saying that in spite of their intellegence, these guys can't help but curse because they are black. There are some funny moments but not enough of them to outweigh the really dumb (and overtly sexual and violent) over-the-top gags that simply don't work. Fans of Carrey shold skip this and wait for a better film before wasting their money.

Summary: A plot full of holes really doesn't hurt the humor
Review: MAY CONTAIN POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR SOME OF THE FUNNIER JOKES. HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING? DON'T LET THAT DISAPPOINT YOU, READ ON. After two desperate (and I mean desperate) attempts to grab an Oscar nomination, Jim Carrey returns to doing what he does best: physical comedy. His movements and laugh-out-loud dialogue keep you in your seat laughing the entire way. His portrayal of Charlie (the amiable Rhode Island State Trooper) and his mean-spirited and demonic split personallity Hank are priceless and his performances are not to be soon forgotten. There are many sight gags and tons of crude humor that follow the adventure of Carrey's two personallities and an ex-convict named Irene (Renee Zellweger) to upstate New York to protect her from the bad guys. Thought it's never really said what the criminals did, their point is made clear: they want Irene dead. But before all that happens, we see Hank come out for the first time and create havok among the friendly Rhode Islanders many of whom he knows. This includes embarrasing a lady with a yeast infection, suckling on the breast of a nursing mother, crashing a car through a barber shop window, and taking a dump on the neighboor's lawn. Charlie, however, has no idea what happened. His superiors tell him that it wasn't Charlie doing all of that stuff, but it was Hank. So they give Charlie pills to help control his alter ego. Fast foward to after Carrey and Zellweger's road trip starts. Big surprise, Charlie is given the wrong medicine and Hank once again comes out and reigns supreme once more. Nothing big, just the usual picking a fight with a five-year-old, making fun of an albino waiter, and tearing apart a car that belongs to a disabled man. Charlie is now faced with trying to control Hank and protecting Irene in the process. And after Irene runs away from the bad guys, she runs off with Charlie/Hank and now the police think that he has kidnapped Irene. Some are saying that Charlie's three African-American sons (obviously not his, explained why in the begining) steal the show. Now, I'm not too sure about that, but they were hillarious when they were on screen and spewed vulgarities like there's no end. They even have the last line in the film that is one of the funniest in the entire show. The Farrelly brothers have done it again and I hope that their next film (all ready being written) is just as funny. One more thing, don't forget to stay at the end of the very end of the credits to see another funny scene. That's at the very, very end. Rated R (and with good reason) for strong language, crude humor, some violence, and sexual content. It's pretty crude and the sex is rather funny, but omnipresent. The violence isn't anything to get into a fuss about and every other word is the "f" word. Recommended viewing age: 14 or 15

Summary: Fall out of your seat Halarious!
Review: Well I must admit that I was disappointed with "Outside Providence" because its lack of laughter and when I found out that "Kingpin" was a Farrelly Brothers film I could'nt believe it because frankly that movie was awful and laughless. "Dumb and Dumber" and "Something about Mary" were fantastic and more in line with "Me, Myself, and Irene". If you loved those, please see this! I won't begin to describe all of the side splitting scenes and lingering imagery in this film. I will tell you that once Jim Carrey's other side shows up it is an absolute laugh fest from there out. The soundtrack is great, if anyone can tell me who does the song playing whenever Carrey starts to lose it, please write it in a review, thanks. One scene that stands out and an image you may not forget to soon is when Shannon Whirry breast feeds Jim Carrey. Nuff said? Thought so. Now, go see it with someone you love. A little advice...LEAVE THE KIDS AT HOME.

Summary: Movie should have been about Carrey's "triplets."
Review: Carrey plays "Charlie," a wimp, and "Hank," a quixotic jerk. Carrey's "Hank" voice is totally lame; it resembles the voice a 10-year-old boy uses when he's trying to sound like a grown-up. Neither character is very interesting or funny. The plot takes a back seat to Carrey's goofing around, but this isn't a kid's movie like "Ace Ventura," so a story would have been appreciated. Zellweger has no charm. The off-screen sparks didn't find their way into her on-screen interaction with Carrey. And we already saw him fight with himself in "Liar, Liar."

Summary: Jim Carrey + Farrelly Bros. = Funny Hilarious Entertainment
Review: Jim Carrey is his OLD great self in Me, Myself and Irene. He was great in Truman Show and Man on the Moon, but I've missed the ACE VENTURA, Dumb and Dumber CARREY...he certainly returns in the FARRELLY BROS. (Something aBout Mary) newest comedy gross-out flik. Jim Carrey still performs some dramatic scenes, but his scenes from going from CHARLIE to HANK are OSCAR winning. THE STORY: Charlie is a pushover -- A Rhode Island State Trooper and father of 3 boys. His wife leaves him and he shuts down. 18 years later...he gets pushed and pushed and pushed until HANK (another personality) takes over and the FUN begins. Carrey takes no prisoners as HANK. Jerry Maguire babe, Renee Zellweger, is Irene P. Waters, who is in trouble and CHARLIE BAILeygates is the one helping her. Lots of laughs and gross-out humor that involves COWS, CHICKENS, an ALBINO, and taking a dump. I give it 5 stars for Jim Carrey's brilliance combined with the gross, but awesome humor of the Farrelly Brothers......

Summary: Hilarious, if you like crude humor
Review: Parts of this movie are gut bustingly funny. It is more shock comedy similar to that of Something about Marry and Road Trip. Jim Carrey plays a scitso to the teeth, you would almost think he really is one. Some parts of this movie though were really just gross and not neccessary, but you'll have to see it to get what i'm talking about. If you want to get a good laugh, this ones for you.

Summary: Wacky and Funny
Review: This movie was humorous just like the other Farrely Brothers movies. Jim Carrey is hilarious as usual, and Renee Zellwegger was great. This film was just as funny as "There's Something about Mary" and "Dumb and Dumber." Critics said that this film was filled with sick humor which is true for the most part, but nonetheless it was entertaining.

Summary: Insanely Funny, All Hail Jim Carrey!! A Masterpiece!
Review: Me, Myself, and Irene is a comedic masterpiece blending borderline taboo humor with the genius of Jim Carrey. Carrey plays Charlie, a mild mannered Rhode Island state police officer who is raising his three black (yes, I said black) sons while dealing with the brunt of constant haggling by his fellow townsfolk. But finally the pushover Charlie can't take it any more. Or at least his alter personality, Hank, can't. Hank doesn't take crap from anybody. Crass, rude and entirely blunt when expressing his opinions, Hank is the complete opposite of Charlie. Which gets Charlie, the mild mannered Rhode Island state police officer, into a heap of trouble. When a girl from upstate New York (Renee Zelweger) is brought in on a bogus charge, Charlie is ordered to take her back. Insanity ensues that will put this movie at the top of everyone's favorite Jim Carrey movie list. Whether it be attempting to put a cow out of its misery, teaching a child to respect an officer of the law, parking a car, dealing with the after affects of having sex all night (and the morning male need to urinate), or just plain old kicking his own ass, Jim Carrey once again proves he is the reigning King of physical comedy. This movie was so much more funny than There's Something About Mary, the guys who play Jim Carrey's sons are scene stealers and almost as funny as Carrey himself. If you need a laugh check this movie out, but if you have asthma make sure you bring your inhaler. Hell, I don't have asthma and I needed one. All hail Jim Carrey! After watching this you'll never look at chickens or breastfeeding the same way again!
