Simply Perfect

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I watched the film again years later. I broke up laughing. Actors were very good, Farelly brothers had very good movies at that time.

"Me, Myself and Irene" doesn't deviate from the Farrellys' trademark scatological humor, but that works to a surprising degree here. It'd be unfair to say that Jim Carrey is the cog that makes this all work (seeing as there are so many other necessary pieces to this puzzle), but he's playing his physical comedy to the hilt, and it's some entertaining stuff. The guy even gets into a convincing brawl with himself. It's beautiful. But it's not just Carrey; Zellweger fits pretty well, his three sons steal every one of their scenes and it even has space enough for a persistent dildo. As a road movie, it's not nearly as focused as "Dumb and Dumber" (really tends to wander), but there's some genuinely funny material here.7/10 Oh, and the music that plays when Jim Carrey snaps is priceless!

I have very mixed reactions to Jim Carrey's work. Sometimes I think he's quite good, other times both his performances and his movie leave something to be desired. On the other hand, I adore Renee Zellweger. She can make even a bad movie worth watching - for me, anyway. So, Zellweger was in this. It was worth watching.It was a decent movie and sometimes quite funny. Carrey's character Charlie is an officer with the Rhode Island State Police - "the best law enforcement agency in the country" as we're told many times. But after a marriage breakup, Charlie's life begins to fall apart. He's left with his three black sons (his wife had an affair and then dumped both Charlie and the kids) and just tries to get through life. Then he meets Irene (Zellweger) - a fugitive from justice who Charlie has to return to New York State. You see where this is going - and then comes the twist, as Charlie suddenly develops a split personality, as the arrogant Hank makes his appearance. Irene and Charlie (and Hank of course) end up on the run from corrupt cops.It's a fun movie. It's no comedic masterpiece, and it's a little too long for this type of movie (almost 2 hours), but it's quite watchable. It's also very crude at times. Charlie's three sons have an obviously favourite word (let's say it starts with "mother" and includes two more syllables and it occurs over and over and over.) Basically, it's neither Carrey's best movie, nor is it his worst. (6/10)

If you watch "Me, Myself and Irene" without any expectations, then the movie delivers well enough, because this is certainly no milestone in American movie history. That being said, then this is a fairly average Jim Carrey movie, that have several similarities to "The Mask" in ways.The movie itself is entertaining for what it is worth. The storyline is good, consistent and has a good flow to it. And it is the type of movie that requires no brain activity from the audience - so just sit back, switch to autopilot and be mildly amused for about an hour and a half.Jim Carrey and Renée Zellweger do have good on screen chemistry and they make the movie work.The characters in the movie were unique and well portrayed on the screen, most of them being eccentric and quite out there. Which worked out nicely, because their oddities and eccentricities were a main driving force to the movie.The jokes in the movie are straight and to the point, and the comedy is often bizarre and semi dark humor. It is a movie that will have you smiling and put you in a good mood, but hardly the type of comedy to have you in tears from laughing so hard."Me, Myself and Irene" is a movie that you will thoroughly enjoy if you also enjoyed "Dumb and Dumber".
