Six years after Dumb and Dumber, Jim Carrey reunited with Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly for this anarchic comedy with a hint of romance. Charlie (Carrey) is a good-natured Rhode Island state troop... read more read more...er who likes helping people. But years of internalizing his frustrations about his work and his family have caused Charlie to develop an alter ego: Hank, an abusive, violent, sexually compulsive police officer. Charlie can keep Hank at bay with medication, but just barely. When Irene (Renee Zellweger) finds herself in legal trouble through a series of misunderstandings involving her ex-boyfriend, Charlie must escort her on a long drive to New York for questioning. After Charlie loses his medication, he and Hank wind up vying for her affections: Charlie wants Irene to marry him, while Hank has more brutal intentions. Me, Myself, and Irene also features Chris Cooper, Robert Forster, and Jessica Harper, as well as Anthony Anderson, Mongo Brownlee, and Jerod Mixon as Charlie's rotund, African-American sons. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Ace Ventura, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber. All the comedies with Jim pre to Me, Myself and Irene, were all masterpieces. This was unexpectedly crude and certainly not the best but it was also Jim's best physical performance in terms of his reputation as being "the man of a thousand ... read morefaces".

    Finally, after 3 attempts at watching this film I made it to the end. It wasn't worth it, in fact I feel angry at about the time I wasted. It's not in my top 10 worst films of all time but it's definitely in the teens. Very much not my kind of film.

    Me, Myself & Irene is one of the finest films directed by the Farrelly Brothers. For me, this is Jim Carrey's last funny film. After this film he started going off the deep end, and made a couple of really bad films. But this is a fine Swan song to a good comedic actor. The humou... read morer in this film sharp, witty and crude. But thats what makes it so funny. Renee Zellwegger gives her only good performance of her career, as she's quite the bad actress. However in this film, this is one of the best comedies that the Farrelly Brothers have made. The humour in Me, Myself & Irene is very low brow as you'd expect from the Farrelly's. This is one of their best films. Jim Carrey is very funny in this film, and it sucks that he hasn't made anything watchable since this film. The cast do a good job here. Theres plenty of scenes that are memorable, especially every scene involving Jim Carrey's sons. The film is very well done, with non stop laughs. The humour may not appeal to everyone, but for fans of most of the Farrely Brothers films, you won't be disappointed, I personally preferred this film over There's Something About Mary. Some of the cast are surprising, I did not expect to see Richard Jenkins here and Chris Cooper, both have played in excellent films, but it's great to see them doing something different. Me,Myself & Irene is one of my favorite comedies and it definitely brings on big laughs, a great comedy.

    Funny from the Fareelys, but not Theres Something About Mary

    Has a lot of funny moments but I'm not really into the schizo plot or the Lebowski-esque narration.

    I have no Idea why this Movie was so highly rated, it is a weird movie.

    This is one of my favorite movies from the Farrelly brothers movies that is a great original premise. It is one of my favorite performances from Jim Carrey, Hank is one of the most priceless characters. For a raunchy comedy it was extremely well tamed.

    In "Me, Myself & Irene," Jim Carrey stars as a skitso cop who tags along with Irene (Renee Zellweger). Charley (Jim Carrey), a cool cop that patrols the roads of Rhoe Island, is having some problems with his wife after she meets a black midget that gets offended by Charley. Charl... read moreey meets Irene at a station and plans to escort her to upstate New York as a prisoner. From there, everything breaks loose and both Charley and Irene go from one place to the other on a frantic mission to stay away from the police, because they're both wanted. Irene also finds out first-hand that Charley has a split personality that toggles between being Charley and being Hank (Jim Carrey), a crazy and obnoxious lunatic.
    I didn't think "Me, Myself & Irene" was Jim Carrey's best comedy ever, but I did think it was one of his best and his best one since "Liar Liar." This movie is packed full of laughs with antics such as when Jim Carrey throws himself out of a car, or I should say Hank throws Charley out of a car. Jim Carrey definitely did one of his best acting jobs in "Me, Myself & Irene," he makes it seem like he really does have a split personality. Don't think that just because this is a comedy movie that it lacks in plot because it has a good plot that unfolds gradually.

    If you like hilarious comedy movies or Jim Carrey movies, I definitely recommend getting "Me, Myself, & Irene." It's one of the funniest movies of the past year without a doubt! NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2001. The part where Carrey replaces a baby to nurse on a woman's tetons is one of THE funniest movie scenes of all time.

It's sporadically funny but often unfunny, the latter worse than not being funny enough.

As highly talented as Carrey is, he can't make these abrupt physical and mental transitions the least bit convincing.

Works because it does its job of making viewers laugh. Full Review

Carrey himself provides the biggest flash from a major star since Rudolf Nureyev in Valentino. Full Review

The Farrelly brothers have been dumb and they've been dumber, and Me, Myself & Irene definitely falls into the second category. Full Review

It's now time to reassure the Carrey crowd that their hero remains an inspired physical comedian. Full Review

Shifts unsteadily between slow-moving, gauzy focus romance and 'transgressive' gross-out comedy. Full Review

Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

It's too bad, then, that Me, Myself & Irene is clueless when it comes to constructing a plot with which to thread the powerful jokes. Full Review

Carrey, with his Silly Putty face and herky-jerky body, scores an ace.
