  'Me, Myself and Irene'
One of my co-workers was "creeped out" by the images of Jim Carrey on the cover of the press kit for his new movie, "Me, Myself and Irene." Funny, but the movie had the same effect on me.
"Me, Myself and Irene" offers such knee-slappers as male sexual appliances, a man with a chicken's head rammed up his butt and enough use of the f-word (and the mother of all f-words) to fill several David Mamet plays.
As for Irene, she's more of a plot device -- someone for Charlie and Hank to play against, a target for the sexual humor.

  Me, Myself & Irene: Cinephiles Movie Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Me, Myself and Irene clearly relies on Carrey's physical comedy and on his portrayals of the extremely passive and victimized Charly and the rambunctious, vulgar and sexually driven Hank.
Me, Myself and Irene pushes its "politically incorrect" agenda by defining its targeted characters --a hotheaded dwarf, a timid albino, Charly's overweight fl sons, tortured animals, and a moronic-sounding narrator-- as laughable representations.
Consequently, Me, Myself and Irene exemplifies a debasement of comedy, where the excitability caused by such issues as racial prejudice, disease, animal cruelty, and masturbation is exploited for the sake of provoking the viewer.

 Me, Myself & Irene
Me, Myself, and Irene is the story of Charlie Baileygates, a hapless and emasculated Rhode Island state trooper.
A young woman, Irene (Renée Zellweger) has been stopped on a traffic violation back to New York where she is being investigated for bigger and better crimes, and Charlie is assigned to accompany her back to the Empire state.
Me, Myself, and Irene is primarily a vehicle for Jim Carrey.

Irene, a golf course manager on the run from her mob boyfriend, is speeding through Rhode Island, where she is pulled over by the police for stealing the car she's driving.
When Charlie hands Irene over to the police in New York, she manages to escape her ex, the cops in his pocket, sundry goons and a pair of G-men from, yes, the EPA.
ME, MYSELF AND IRENE(117 minutes, at area theaters) is rated R for language, sex, nudity, you name it.

 Me, Myself, and Irene Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
With "Me, Myself, and Irene", Jim Carrey is reunited with his "Dumb and Dumber" co-conspirators, and though this latest gross-out comedy is not as gut busting as the genre-defining "There's Something About Mary", there's still enough wildly-inappropriate and positively-absurd gags to warrant a look.
Irene (Renee Zellweger of "Jerry Maguire"), who blows into town and is promptly arrested on an outstanding warrant from upstate New York.
Unfortunately, little does Charlie realize that Irene is a potential witness in an investigation of Environmental Protection Act violations, in which the local sheriff (Chris Cooper of "American Beauty") is involved, and is using the outstanding warrant to 'silence' her.

 Me, Myself & Irene
"Me, Myself and Irene" was one of the most eagerly anticipated films of this summer.
Such is the case with "Me, Myself and Irene." Peter and Bobby Farrelly, who have made their reputations with "gross-out" humor films, have forgotten the importance of wit, concentrating instead on offensive humor which fails to tickle the funny bone.
Irene has no idea that her boyfriend stole the vehicle, and is even more flabbergasted to learn that she is wanted by upstate New York law enforcement officials for being an accessory to a crime.

 Me, Myself & Irene
In the Farrelly Brothers' ME, MYSELF and IRENE, Jim Carrey plays Charlie Baileygates, a Rhode Island State Trooper who develops a split personality disorder after his wife leaves him for an African-American midget genius.
Jim Carrey, known for his on-set willingness to perform any ridiculous gag, was thoroughly embarrassed during the film's breast-feeding shot and repeatedly apologized to the actress during the shooting of the scene.
ME, MYSELF and IRENE was actually written by Peter Farrelly before DUMB and DUMBER, the Farrelly Brothers' first feature film.

 DVD Review - Me, Myself & Irene   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Their journey begins short, sidetracked only by a poor dying cow, but takes a turn into adventure when Irene is taken into custody and witnesses the murder of two officers, by an assailant who is looking for her.
The two go on the lam as Irene struggles to keep ahead of the corrupt men who are out to get her, and Charlie struggles to remain Charlie.
Presented in anarmorphic widescreen (1.85:1), the video is as crisp as Charlie’s crew cut and as sharp as his three genius sons.

 ME, MYSELF & IRENE
Irene is embroiled in some sort of big business/police cover-up deal that’s way too detailed for this kind of film.
Irene was originally supposed to be about Siamese twins (played by Carrey and Woody Allen) that fall for the same girl, but that idea was scrapped when Allen didn’t sign on to the project.
Irene is narrated by Rex Allen, Jr., who, like William Preston Robertson in Raising Arizona and Sam Neill in The Big Lebowski, uses a slow Southern drawl to tell the story via flashback.

 Me, Myself & Irene
In fact, Me, Myself and Irene is actually filled with more gross-out humor than it is Carrey doing his split personality thing, and that's its biggest failing.
Me, Myself and Irene is a pretty tasteless–and much less funny–film highlighted by Jim Carrey pratfalling all over himself.
Me, Myself and Irene is filled with a lot of good ideas that just sit around awaiting punchlines, or one-joke setups that are stretched out in perpetuity.

 Me. Myself and Irene (2000) Movie Review - The Hollywood News
It took me a while to warm up to the sophomoric antics of Dumb and Dumber but I was an instant fan of Kingpin and an even bigger admirer of There's Something About Mary.
The Farrellys also throw in some of their trademark low brow humor for good measure--offtrack urination, unconventional breast feeding, and a chicken in a compromising position are only a few of the sight gags that The Farrelly Brothers have in store for you.
Most of all, Me, Myself and Irene seems to be lacking in heart.

 Me, Myself & Irene: Special Edition (2000)
Even a narrow-minded schlub like myself occasionally has to admit errors, and such was the case in regard to my early assessments of the talents of Jim Carrey.
Me, Myself and Irene appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
Me, Myself and Irene is touted as a special edition, and since it’s from Fox, you can be assured the disc packs some solid extras.

 Filmboy: Me, Myself, and Irene   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Superstar Jim Carrey plays two sides of a romantic triangle in the Farrelly Brothers’ latest comedy, "Me, Myself and Irene." He stars as Charlie Baileygates, a docile Rhode Island State Trooper, who develops a split personality after years of bottling up his emotions.
"Me, Myself and Irene" is writers/directors Peter and Bobby Farrelly’s follow-up to their wildly successful 1998 comedy, "There’s Something About Mary." This film walks the same fine line between sweet romance and infantile humor as that earlier flick.
"Me, Myself and Irene" is not the finest work we’ve seen from this cast and crew, but it’s not the worst either.

The Farrelly brothers have had such success in Hollywood with their first three films Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin and There's Something About Mary, that a movie like Me, Myself and Irene that is funny, but decidedly below the talent level of their other works, feels like a complete and utter disappointment.
And this is where Me, Myself and Irene falls apart.

 Me, Myself & Irene (2000): Jim Carrey, Renee Zellweger, Chris Cooper, Traylor Howard - PopMatters Film Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Me, Myself & Irene — managing to belittle women, gays, fls, single mothers, albinos, the handicapped, midgets, and the mentally ill, while making light of dismemberment and serial murder, and heaping abuse and indignity on innocent children — would seem to have taken the misanthropic comedy to its farthest possible extreme.
Irene, it turns out, is an unwitting pawn in a vast and incredibly vague criminal conspiracy, having witnessed something illegal while working as a golf course groundskeeper.
Charlie, meanwhile, nurtures a more courtly love for the imperiled Irene — his affection is markedly asexual (except once when she catches him jacking off to her mugshot).

 Dr. Daniel's Movie Emergency - Me, Myself and Irene - Jim Carrey, Renee Zellweger, Robert Forster
And his return to fullblown comedy, Me, Myself, & Irene, is a reteaming with the masters of the bodily function genre, the Farrelly Brothers.
Steve Martin, in his vastly underrated All of Me, has been the only person to be able to pull this off, playing the two characters trapped in one body, each wanting control.
Irene won't be the boffo hit of Summer 2000, nor will it be a word-of-mouth runner like There's Something About Mary, but Me, Myself, & Irene might just go down in history as the film that finally made people realize that Jim Carrey can do more than what everyone expects.

This is the kind of film that reminds me of Nietzche's dictum that "Every laugh is a cry for help." Dying cattle, kids being held under water, thumbs being shot off—this is just not the stuff that I want to laugh at.

And this time around they have Jim Carrey on hand to illustrate their premise in "Me, Myself and Irene," a movie that is by turns outrageous, gross, stupefying, visually eclectic, unpredictable, and most importantly, hilarious.
Renee Zellweger (Irene) gives a notable performance here, as well; initially somewhat nondescript, she warms up as things move along, and ultimately her Irene emerges as a rather endearing character.
Me, Myself & Irene is fun and funny, and if you've ever felt like you were one second away from snapping yourself, this one is definitely for you.
