Editorial DVD Review
[Top]
In Me, Myself & Irene, Jim Carrey plays Charlie Baileygates, a cop for the finest police force in the world . In denial about his wifes affair, hes 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 & hides it in the pit of his stomach. His psyche can only take so much, though & soon his alter-ego Hank pops out to do every libidinous thing Charlie would never do. Its a great premise for a Jim Carrey film. Unfortunately, its not a great Jim Carrey film. Famous for the lowbrow, shock comedies like Dumb & Dumber, Kingpin & Theres Something About Mary, here the Farrelly brothers get lost in a series of lazy gags & an even lazier plot about some evil golf development & the woman, Irene , who needs to be protected because she knows something about it. Some of the jokes hit , but many more miss. There are some great concepts that dont go anywhere . Its like the movie itself has a split personality, funny ideas trapped in a less-than-funny film.
