TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Johan Dondokambey The story gets very much predictable as soon as you read the title and sees Jim Carey at the cast list. It will all be about a split personality on a man. The movie did well enough in taking its time to build on the background story of how Charlie unknowingly created Hank. But that's just about it. Besides Jim Carey's awesome performance, there's little more that this movie has to offer. Renee Zellweger did just enough for her parts. The story gets flawed as many of the scenes didn't have adequate transition and instead edited poorly that scene cuts feel strange. Chris Cooper and Richard Jenkins also didn't create believable characters since their screen time is often too brief.
Mr-Fusion "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!
videorama-759-859391 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.
Chris L Jim Carrey does Jim Carrey, excessive as usual, and one may like it or not, but he carried forward this movie single-handedly.The main problem of Me, Myself and Irene, is the pace at which the story unfolds, very slow: a good 15-20 minute cut would have really improved the dynamism. There is no consistency whatsoever and you quickly get bored watching this muddled, interminable and totally uninteresting script, from where a particularly strange atmosphere comes out.The gags aren't that funny overall, of course a few ones are rather good and may crack you a smile, but they are too sporadic and lost in this almost 2 hour feature.
