DVD Reviews of Me, Myself & Irene (Special Edition)
DVD Review: Carrey, Carrey And Renee Strike Comedy Gold
Summary: 4 Stars
The Farrelly brothers strike again, with a movie that is alternately outrageous, gross, stupefying, visually eclectic, unpredictable and, most importantly, hilarious. With "Me, Myself & Irene," the same zany duo that brought us "There's Something About Mary," have outdone themselves, and this time around they have Jim Carrey, again, to boot. If ever there was a marriage made in cinematic comedic heaven, it's Carrey and the Farrelly brothers. "Dumb and Dumber" (which also starred Carrey) was just a warm up for this one, though. Here Carrey plays an eighteen year veteran of the Rhode Island highway Patrol, whose wife left him early in his career, not long after delivering triplets (all boys), the father of whom Charlie (Carrey) obviously is not. Mild mannered, good guy Charlie never questions the lineage, however, and when the story picks up, the three are highly intelligent (their parents were both MENSA presidents), strapping (to say the least) boys, who share a loving relationship with their father. Charlie is just too good for his own sake, though, and after years of suppressed anger and avoiding any kind of confrontation, the dam finally bursts. His psychological needs have created a split personality, and "Hank" emerges with a vengeance. He quickly winds up in trouble and on medication, but it's only the beginning for him. He's assigned to take a prisoner, Irene (Renee Zellweger), to upstate New York, where she is wanted on a bogus hit-and-run beef. The real problem is, a former boyfriend thinks she's been privy to some shady dealings in which he's been involved, that have to do with his golf course (where she was greenskeeper), and the DEQ. Soon Charlie and Irene are being pursued by a wrong cop (Chris Cooper) and a crooked DEQ agent (Richard Jenkins), and "Hank" takes over when Charlie just can't stand the heat. And so begins the laugh filled adventures of Charlie, Hank and Irene. Jim Carrey really breaks loose in this one, in what amounts to a duel role. Charlie is such a nice guy, totally benign, who gets no respect on the job or from the people in town, but who is nevertheless a stand-up fellow and good father. When Hank emerges, though, all bets are off; affecting a Clint Eastwood, "Dirty Harry" style vocal rasp and an intimidating demeanor, the least civic infraction or personal affront no longer goes unattended. If there was ever any doubt about it, Carrey here proves that he is nothing less than a master of physical transformation; his initial change into Hank is awesome to behold, and as the story progresses he slips effortlessly between one character and the other, and his final confrontation (with himself) is a riot. And he does it by dexterously taking it to the edge without going completely over the top into the ridiculous. Zellweger gives a notable performance, as well; initially somewhat nondescript, she warms up as things move along, and ultimately her Irene emerges as a rather endearing character. It's a tough part, given the fact that she is competing, somewhat, in what is predominately a showpiece for Carrey, but she is just winsome enough to keep herself in the running throughout. The supporting cast includes Robert Forster (the Lieutenant, Captain, Colonel) and Michael Bowman (Whitey). As with all of their movies, this offering from Peter and Bobby Farrelly is not going to be for everyone; it is politically incorrect and anything but subtle from beginning to end. But it is funny, at times hysterical, and it's one of Carrey's best performances, one in which he aptly demonstrates just how versatile he really is. There are some over-the-top, gross-out sight gags, definitely not for the squeamish, and some of the language is off-color. If you're familiar with the Farrelly's previous work, you'll know what to expect; if not, just steel yourself and get ready for a wild ride. No matter what your personal sensitivity level is, you're going to laugh at "Me, Myself & Irene," even if it's in spite of yourself. At the very least, you're going to find out what all the fuss is over Jim Carrey. One way or another, this is one movie you're not likely to forget, and the chances are pretty good that you're going to want to see it again.
Description of Me, Myself & Irene (Special Edition)
WHEN RHODE ISLAND POLICEMAN CHARLIE BAILEYGATES DEVELOPS ASPLIT PERSONALITY DISORDER, HE GOES FROM GENTLE TO MENTAL. BUTSOON, CHARLIE FALLS CRAZY IN LOVE WITH THE BEAUTIFUL IRENE ANDMUST BATTLE FOR HER AFFECTIONS WITH HANK, HIS FOUL-MOUTHED, OVERSEXED ALTER EGO.In Me, Myself & Irene, Jim Carrey plays Charlie Baileygates, a cop for the best police force in the world (Rhode Island). In denial about his wife's affair, he's a nice guy who goes around trying to do the right thing but is taken advantage of every step of the way. Instead of confronting people, he takes the abuse, balls it up, and hides it in the pit of his stomach. His psyche can only take so much, though, and soon his alter-ego Hank pops out to do every libidinous thing Charlie would never do. It's a great premise for a Jim Carrey film. Unfortunately, it's not a great Jim Carrey film. Famous for the lowbrow, shock comedies like Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin, and There's Something About Mary, here the Farrelly brothers get lost in a series of lazy gags and an even lazier plot about some evil golf development and the woman, Irene (Renée Zellweger), who needs to be protected because she knows something about it. Some of the jokes hit (there's a bathroom scene that's 10 times funnier than the hair-gel gag in There's Something About Mary), but many more miss. There are some great concepts (his three sons are hip-hop geniuses) that don't go anywhere (they swear a lot). It's like the movie itself has a split personality--funny ideas trapped in a less-than-funny film. --Andy Spletzer
