Product Description
In the Farrelly Brothers' ME, MYSELF & IRENE, Jim Carrey plays Charlie Baileygates, a Rhode Island State Trooper who develops a split personality disorder after his wife leaves him for an African-American midget genius. Due to years of denial and repression while raising triplet sons left behind by his wife and her lover, Charlie finally gets fed up with people taking advantage of his meek nature and snaps, taking on a lewd, aggressive second personality named Hank. Soon afterwards, Charlie is assigned by the police department to protect a woman named Irene (Rene Zellweger), who's being followed by some shady characters who want her dead. As the pair attempt to outwit their pursuers, the kind-hearted Charlie begins to fall for Irene, while battling his sleazy alter ego, Hank. Back in full comedy mode after his more dramatic roles in THE TRUMAN SHOW and MAN ON THE MOON, Carrey once again displays his outlandish brand of physical humor. As with any Farrelly Brothers film, there are plenty of grossly funny yet good-natured moments. (In fact, Charlie's loving relationship with his three brilliant half-African-American sons is one of the film's best and funniest subplots.) Above all, it is the way that Carrey juggles the extreme personalities of Charlie and Hank--basically waging war against himself--that shows why he is one of Hollywood's best comedic actors.

In Me, Myself & Irene, Jim Carrey plays Charlie Baileygates, a cop for the best police force in the world (Rhode Island). In denial about his wife's affair, he's a nice guy who goes around trying to do the right thing but is taken advantage of every step of the way. Instead of confronting people, he takes the abuse, balls it up, and hides it in the pit of his stomach. His psyche can only take so much, though, and soon his alter-ego Hank pops out to do every libidinous thing Charlie would never do. It's a great premise for a Jim Carrey film. Unfortunately, it's not a great Jim Carrey film. Famous for the lowbrow, shock comedies like Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin, and There's Something About Mary, here the Farrelly brothers get lost in a series of lazy gags and an even lazier plot about some evil golf development and the woman, Irene (Renee Zellweger), who needs to be protected because she knows something about it. Some of the jokes hit (there's a bathroom scene that's 10 times funnier than the hair-gel gag in There's Something About Mary), but many more miss. There are some great concepts (his three sons are hip-hop geniuses) that don't go anywhere (they swear a lot). It's like the movie itself has a split personality--funny ideas trapped in a less-than-funny film. --Andy Spletzer

Anything with Jim Carrey in it is great and even better in the Blu-Ray Format.
 Absolutely horrid. Deserves 0 stars. April 18, 2009
Amber (Georgia)
This is a perfect example of movies I loathe. It's crude, rude, stupid, and that's just off the top of my head! There were many parts in this movie where things could have been changed to be a little cleaner, such as his three sons. I thought the concept of the three boys growing up to be geniuses was great, but then the directors had to make them cuss every few seconds. I don't shy away from cussing (I do it myself quite a bit sometimes), but it IS possible to carry on a conversation without using every single cuss word in the English language. I realize the premise of the film was for Hank to be the exact opposite of Charlie; they still could have found a way to make the movie less idiotic. Will not ever watch this movie again.
Quick Review April 17, 2009
Sabrina Henry (New York)
No one wants to read a long drawn out review. Im going to get right to the point, this movie was one of the funniest movies that I ever saw. You will not regret watching it. If dont laugh ever five minutes when watching it, then something has to be wrong with you.
 CARREY IS FANTASTIC IN THIS VERY GOOD IF TOO LONG COMEDY! March 1, 2009
! MR. KNOW IT ALL ;-b (TRI STATE AREA)
I think Jim Carrey has made a place for himslf at the top of the ranks of physical comedians. His incredible ability to stretch his face and contort his body is as good as Charlie Chaplin, Dick Van Dyke, Jerry Lewis and all the physical comedy greats in the history of film and television. Teaming up with crude comedy masters The Farrelly Brothers for this very funny if a bit too long comedy film is a good match. I enjoyed this film very much, but it could have been edited a few minutes to make it a better movie.
Holy F@#$ing Funny... August 2, 2008
