A FUNNY AND FILTHY FARCE...
If you are a fan of the Farrelly brothers other movies, "King Pin", "There's Something About Mary", and "Dumb and Dumber", then you will really enjoy this movie. The Farrelly brothers and Jim Carrey are a match made in heaven. Their style suits Carrey's, as the movie is full of the physical comedy and sight gags which are Carrey's forte.

This is a pretty funny, though somewhat sophomoric, movie. It is also pretty filthy, at times, and definitely not for the movie goer of delicate sensibilities. There is something to offend just about everyone, so be prepared.

The basic premise of the movie is simple. A Rhode Island state trooper, Charley Baileygates, played by Jim Carrey, marries the prettiest and smartest girl in town. After she gives birth to triplets for whom Charley could not possibly be the father, for reasons obvious to the viewer, she later leaves him for another man, her soul mate and likely father of the triplets. She leaves Charley with the triplets, whom he raises as his own. The cuckolded Charley goes on to become the town joke and a seriously repressed man.

Eighteen years later, he snaps and begins to express his anger through an alternate personality and quintessential bad boy who calls himself Hank. Hank has attitude and plenty of it, and he lets everyone know that he is mad as hell and is not going to take it anymore. Charley's superiors send him to be evaluated, and he is given medication to control his psychiatric disorder.

Enter Irene, played by Rener Zellweger. Charley is asked to escort her to upstate New York where she is ostensibly wanted on a hit and run. Unbeknownst to either of them, she is being hunted down by dirty cops who are looking to silence her, as it is believed that she may have information that could take down her crooked ex boyfriend who is being investigated by the EPA.

During their trip, Hank, Charley, and Irene have a host of advantures, which are often hilarious, as Charley and Hank battle over who will become the dominant personality. The low key Zellweger is a good foil for the rubber faced Carrey's physical comedy. As Charley and Irene are pursued by the dirty cops, the now grown triplets, funny and profane, also add another element, as they go to their father's rescue.

The DVD has something for everyone, as it has a plethora of bonus features. It is a DVD that all Carrey fans should have in their collection.

Best Comedy Ever
This movie is absolutely the most hilarious comedy ever. Jim Carrey plays an amazing role as does Renee Zellwegger. I give this movie 5 stars for the constant laughter it causes and for the awesome script and cast.

Quite okay
"Me, Myself & Irene" is a typical Farrelly-Brothers movie. Jim Carrey plays a friendly police trooper called Charlie, who is left by his wife. For 18 years he lives a normal life, but then he freaks out and his evil alter-ego Hank appears. Too bad that this just happens when Charlie has to escort the cute Irene (Renée Zellweger) to another state.
This movie is a mixture of the Farrelly classic "Dumb & Dumber" and Stevenson's "Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde". Sometimes the weird gags make you laugh tears, while others are simply too stupid. Jim Carrey is the perfect actor for the role of Charlie/Hank and he really does a great job. He deserved a better script than this one, which is just a dull variation of "Dumb & Dumber". "Me, Myself & Irene" is definitely no masterpiece but if you like brainless entertainment with bad taste humor, you should take a look at this one. The best thing about this movie is the great soundtrack.
