Me, Myself & Irene - 1 1/2 star

“Me, Myself And Irene” is a very vulgar comedy with maybe only one or two mild chuckles in it. It’s highly offensive, very strange and lacks any sense in its script.

Jim Carrey (“The Mask”, “Liar Liar”) stars as pushover police officer Charlie Baileygate. He’s a man that allows people to cut in front of him in queues and he never even questioned it when his three kids turned out to have a different skin colour to him and his wife. One day Charlie snaps and his evil persona, Hank Evans, is unleashed. Now, Charlie and Hank find themselves on the run when they decide to help a young girl named Irene (Renée Zellweger “Jerry Maguire”).

Carrey is a very talented actor and you’ll know that if you’ve seen “The Mask” or “The Truman Show” but this another film like “Dumb and Dumber” where it’s all just about pulling stupid faces but that film seem to have a few more chuckles in it than this one. I feel sorry for Carrey as I think he could have done a film that have sensibly looks at multiple personality disorder. Zellweger is surprisingly good as Irene. Charlie’s kids in it are portrayed in a very racist manner as they like Richard Pryor just because they’re black and they have to use the mf word just because they are black, which is pointless and just plain offensive.

“Me, Myself And Irene” is a horrible comedy with a mere few chuckles in it (the scene where Hank is kicked in the face is kind of funny). Its real issue is that it’s just offensive and gross without really being funny. It’s definitely a low point in Carrey’s career. This another film where the script is so minimal they can make it so Carrey can pull stupid faces and the filmmakers can easily write in bathroom humour and the same boring slapstick again and again.
