Me, Myself & Irene
Rent & Buy
Rhode Island State Trooper Charlie Baileygates has a multiple personality disorder. One personality is crazy and aggressive, while the other is more friendly and laid back. Both of these personalities fall in love with the same woman named Irene after Charlie loses his medication.
What critics thought
Critics largely found the Farrelly brothers' split-personality comedy too crude and shapeless to sustain itself, with the Jekyll-and-Hyde premise generating scattered laughs but struggling to cohere into a satisfying film. Carrey's physical commitment was the one point of near-universal agreement, though even that couldn't rescue what most reviewers saw as a labored, repetitive exercise in gross-out humor.
“a labored and sour comedy”
Roger Ebert·Chicago Sun-Times
“it's too bad, then, that Me, Myself & Irene is clueless when it comes to constructing a plot with which to thread the powerful jokes”
Bob Longino·Atlanta Journal-Constitution
“some of it just seems tedious and repetitive, as if the Farrelly brothers couldn't decide where to take their Jekyll and Hyde idea”
Jay Boyar·The Orlando Sentinel
