Amazon.com: 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
Vulgar Low Brow Film - Don't Waste Your Time! Not a bad film if you're into perverted jokes and toilet sight gags. Irene is Renee Zellweger, Jerry Maguire (Special Edition) a girl who gets involved with the mob and falls in love with one half of a schizoid team, a Dr. Jekell and Hyde character played by Jim Carrey, who frankly has made better movies.
Brought to you by a producer/director team that created the more superior, There's Something About Mary, gives a thin plot and jokes that just are not funny. The albino jokes (hey there, QTip!) are especially vulgar.
Jim has done tons better! Ace Ventura Deluxe Double Feature (Pet Detective / When Nature Calls)
You can skip this one.
Holy F@#$ing Funny... Watch Bad Santa and then...WATCH THIS MOVIE and tell me that's it's not the funniest F#$%ing movie ever!!!
This movie is the foundation of deniability...
It might also be Jim Carrey's best performance ever!!!
Buy this DVD and laugh your butt off!!!
A Carrey classic! I'm very surprised at all the subpar reviews of this movie. Comedies these days aren't generally very fulfilling in terms of plot(just look at most of Sandler's earlier films). If you go into a movie like this thinking your going to be watching the next schinlder's list then you are going to be wildy disappointed. I mean look at the Austen Powers series, those movies were huge and there is absolutelly NO real plot in any of the three. Crap happens in them sure and it seems to flow in some general direction, but its just a vehicle for the bits stuck in between.
That said, this movie has some truelly hilarious moments in it and I think is one of Carrey's best. I'm all for movie's like 50 first dates or stuck on you which were very funny films but were still sweet and meaningful thematically, but this film is just hilarious and twisted, thats all there is to it. In no other movie can you find a scene of someone getting beat down by a sex-toy, no big budget movie anyhow.
If you love Jim Carrey then you probably love this movie, just don't go into thinking you going to get anything more out of it than the need to stitch your spleen.
Kind of funny This is the only Jim Carrey movie I've ever liked. I think it is partly due to how much I liked his costar in this film. They were both quite funny and Jim Carrey didn't seem to use so much goofy over-the-top physical humor in this one (which is what makes me not like his films generally).
DVD Exrtas? Thanks to the previous reviewer I will not buy any Blu-Ray DVD's that do Not Include extras that Standard DVD's include. All the talk about being able to hold so much space on Blu-Ray and they do not include extras............what a joke.
