Description of Me, Myself & Irene [Blu-ray]:
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

Me, Myself & Irene [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Kind of funny
2008-07-01 - 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?
2008-02-06 - 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.

5 star funny movie, 1 star treatment on the Blu-ray release :-(
2008-02-06 - What the heck is going on with the studios that pull out favorites from their libraries and then proceed to put less content on the Blu-ray discs than they did for the DVD releases of the same films? Seriously, if you are going to put out a library title, make darned sure that you offer up a reason to actually spend the money to upgrade and move to Blu instead of just keeping the DVD release and living with it.

I love this movie. It is wicked, deranged, twisted, warped, and all of the other similar words you could pull from a Roget's thesaurus that mean the same basic thing. It is also insanely funny. Jim Carrey plays Charlie Baileygates, a member of the finest police force known to man. A man who is just too darned nice, and who has let the world treat him as a doormat for far too long. Eventually all of the abuse that Charlie has taken overwhelms him and an split personality arises within Charlie that releases 'Hank' upon the world. Hank is Charlie's mean and wicked alter ego, and thanks to an on screen battle between the two personalities and appearances by Hank at the absolute worst time for Charlie we get to see a riotously funny movie.

Renée Zellweger also stars and adds to the fun in this movie as an individual that Charlie must safely transport on a road trip. While transporting her, Charlie and Hank fight the internal struggle within Charlie to bring his personalities together so he doesn't wind up causing himself or others harm, as well as perhaps losing his dream job working as a Rhode Island state trooper.

The DVD version of the movie is a classic for me. It offers several nice extras, some of which were inexplicably left out of this Blu-ray release. I really wish the studio hadn't gone that route as I'd love to recommend this title for purchase, but rewarding such tactics just seems completely wrong to me. The bare minimum would be to keep everything that was on the DVD, and really customers should expect to get *more* for their money when being asked to 'double dip' on buying these library titles. Getting less is not to be rewarded, so I'd have to say rent this title or get the much less expensive DVD release instead of the Blu-ray here. While the picture quality is better on the Blu-ray, it's not enough of a bump to really make paying for this disc worth it. At least not for me. :-(

Derangedly Good
2008-02-04 - We all need some off-the-wall once in awhile. This movie is that for sure. Jim Carrey is at his best as a duel personality state policeman. The fact his three black sons are characters themselves adds to the fun. Mix in a mostly down to Earth woman trying to escape an insensitive man and you have a overall enjoyable comedy. At first I thought this movie was okay and didn't think past renting it. Since then I have had a chance to see parts of it on TV again and reflect on it a little more. This is one that will stand the test of time and I think be one of those comedy gems like Danny Kaye did in his chalice from the palace routine in "The Court Jester". So if you are a fan of Jim Carrey I suggest you add this one to your collection. Good quality DVD with great replayability.

Not Funny, Just Stupid
2007-12-25 - The only funny part of this movie is the few minutes after Jim Carrey has a mental break down in the store and changes into hank. Every thing else is just plain stupid.
