Jim Carrey is quite possibly the funniest person working in Hollywood todaythe key word being working. Carrey works hard for the money, turning each performance into an athletic exhibition. Unfortunately, the raunchy Farrelly Brothers dont always deliver, and although Something About Mary was a satisfactorily nasty good time, Me, Myself and Irene will leave you with comedy blue balls.
The set-up: Charlie (Carrey), a sweet but repressed Rhode Island state trooper develops a schizophrenic alter-ego named Hank, who has a penchant for picking fights, cursing up a storm, and putting long rubber dildos in uncomfortable places. Charlie is asked to escort a lovely lady (Renée Zellweger) to the scene of an out-of-state crime. The road trip that dominates the rest of the film is predictable and not particularly funny, but Carrey goes the distance (especially during a hilarious climactic fight with himself, a self-abuse scene that rivals Ed Nortons in Fight Club). Oh, and theres also a scene where a chickens head is forced up the ass of a cop. Yeah, we thought the same thing.
