Me, Myself and Irene
July 10, 2000
The Farelly brothers direct Jim Carrey's return to knock-down, drag-out, gross-out humor. The tagline: " From gentle to mental." The plot outline: " A man with multiple personalities falls in love with a woman, only to find out that his other personalities have also. They end up fighting each other for her hand."
If you've seen the trailer, you've seen most of the really funny scenes in the movie. I mean, Jim Carrey is almost always entertaining and energetic when he's on screen, but he's at the mercy of the material here, and its just not very innovative, clever or funny. Look for another Oscar snub for Carrey, and ask yourself how long he can keep making $20 million a film if they're not all that funny. Of course, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas could change all that this holiday season; at least we know the basic material is solid and entertaining.
Rated R for sexual content, crude humor, strong language and some violence. No young teens or sensitive, mature, dignified adults.
