Me, Myself & Irene

2000 Comedy

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 trooper 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. more..

Reviews

  • Irresistibly deranged.

    Peter Travers - Rolling Stone

  • It has a few laughs, but it also has a lot of dead air, and barely any plot at all. In sporting terms, it's no home run.

  • The humor in Me, Myself and Irene is often outrageous but rarely cruel.

    Dana Stevens - The New York Times

  • Every instance of gleeful bad taste is timed and positioned for maximum, liberating laugh value.

    Lisa Schwarzbaum - Entertainment Weekly

  • The good ol' Jim Carrey we knew and loved is back, rude, crude and unglued.
