Me, Myself & Irene (2000)

I've come to realize Jim is not funny. Well in this movie for sure. The plot, come on. Jim is the same in The Mask. Two personalitys. What's funny are his 3 boys.

This movie a real surprise. Its commitment to getting the viewer to laugh was relentless and, for me, successful. IMHO Jim Carey can be a bit much in some films, but here, he shines. He's over the top to be sure, but in such an artful way...such an intensely talented way...that his greatness as an American comedic actor oozes. He gives quite a show in so many different ways in this one movie. Renée Zellweger is wonderful as well. Her acting is a perfect balance to the zaniness of the film's story line. Her facial expressions throughout the film are subtly perfect and the viewer ought to pay attention to them. The rest of the cast, from Carey's character(s)'s three black sons, to the albino, to the midget and to the criminals and law enforcement agents compliment Jim Carey and Ms. Zellweger without pause. Watch it and enjoy this hilarious, offbeat comedy.

Overall: Honestly this is up there with some of Jim Carrey's better performances and a must but for me on Blu Ray. Some will not enjoy this movie due to it's humor and the fact that its main point of humor is Split Personality disorder which may offend some people. Nevertheless, I think this is a great movie and would highly recommend it.Good: Hilarious and entertaining from the offset and throughout. Each character is likable and unlikable when they need to be to help the plot progress and change the viewers feelings towards them. The acting is superb for all the characters as is the overall cinematography .Bad: The overall villain is not that interesting and quite weak to be honest. He didn't really have much, if any, purpose other than to score a pretty forgettable climax. The actual plot is never properly cleared up or actually explained but his is probably glossed over because who really watches a comedy movie for the though provoking and moving story. The music isn't the best and feels quite lazy at some points.Best Part: The fight scene between Jim Carrey and.... himself! 8/10

Jim Carrey does Jim Carrey, excessive as usual, and one may like it or not, but he carried forward this movie single-handedly.The main problem of Me, Myself and Irene, is the pace at which the story unfolds, very slow: a good 15-20 minute cut would have really improved the dynamism. There is no consistency whatsoever and you quickly get bored watching this muddled, interminable and totally uninteresting script, from where a particularly strange atmosphere comes out.The gags aren't that funny overall, of course a few ones are rather good and may crack you a smile, but they are too sporadic and lost in this almost 2 hour feature.
