Me, Myself & Irene (2000)

What makes it different from others?

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Maybe the best comedy I've ever seen. One of the best Carrey's movie.

This IS a funny movie. If a movie can make me laugh out loud, cringe at the character's embarrassment and still maintain my interest from start to end, then IMO, it has achieved its purpose as a comedy. Every time I have seen this film, it never fails to make me laugh. It's not supposed to be the most clever comedy nor does it try to be. The humour is crude and at times nasty, but the outrageous style in which it is executed makes it funny and I'm a fan. Although I'm not the biggest Jim Carey fan, I can still appreciate that he is talented and rather unique in his style and I can't imagine anyone else doing a better job in the lead role.

You know... as hot as the Farrelly brothers started with Dumb and Dumber and There's Something About Mary, I don't think this movie was nearly on par with those. I know I may be in the minority here, but Me, Myself and Irene didn't strike a chord with me quite like the two movies prior to that. Jim Carey was on top of his game at that time but maybe on the down slide. Bruce Almighty was the only real hit he did after Me, Myself and Irene. Could it be that MM&I started the downward slide? Or was it him taking a role of God that started it?Back to MM&I. The jokes just fell flat and I've never been a fan of Renee Zellweger. There were some funny scenes but nothing memorable. Hey, it could have just been me. I think that the late 90's-early 2000's was a transformation of tastes for me. At any rate, I wasn't impressed with MM&I.

Carrey has reunited with the Farrely brothers in a film, with a more misfire of laughs than successful ones, though still it's adequately funny, the setting of story, that being in Rhode Island, is interesting. Carrey plays a Rhode Island state trooper who has been the butt of a lot of people, that walk all over him. A yes man. Finally cracking up in a supermarket, while waiting at a counter, he creates a new, "take no s..t" character Hank, the absolute opposite of his character, Charlie Bailey. In split personality, this is what can happen, a person is so revolted by his own self, he replaces it with someone totally different. Renee Zewellger, as an EPA employee, who we kind of get the feeling, she would rather be somewhere else, plays an ex girlfriend of a guy involved in corrupt dealings with the company, where she's caught and transported by Carrey on police motorcycle to a safer place, pursued by the bad guys, that involve other corrupt agents etc. The movie does play well as an adventure though, and Carrey's three black blasphemous sons (there's a story there) are a hoot, probably the funniest thing in the movie. Too, near the end in a fight to the death between Carrey and Zewellger's ex, we have an ugly bit of violence, unwarranted, only if in another attempt to humour, when Carrey's thumb is blown off. The theme song was another good thing about this average humorous movie that still plays in my head and takes me to 2001. Farrely fans should still see this, with laughs, far and few between. Carrey does make a goose of himself and overacts in this though, where the every changing back of personalities in scenes, is something you just don't buy.
