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

For junior high boys.......2007-06-15

As I watched this disaster of a movie I kept wondering for whom it was made and concluded that the director had aimed for the 12-year old boy who was not too bright. But 12-year olds, in theory, were not permitted to see it because of the R rating. So where does that leave the movie?

The supposed humor is bathroom, racist, stupid and repetitive. The plot is simply a long chase for reasons that are murky. The movie insults blacks, albinos, police, and Renee Zellweger. And all those who watch the movie, I might add.

Jim Carrey has made some fine movies, "The Truman Show," for example, and Zellweger has done likewise, "Chicago," for example. Didn't either of these two good actors know "Me, Myself and Irene" was an abomination when they first read the script? Or when they were making it?

Funny...but unbalanced.......2007-04-14

3.5 stars. This was a stronger movie than I expected. The first hour, I literally had tears in my eyes I was laughing so hard. The cow scene, to me, was just priceless. But honestly, I didn't quite understand what Irene was supposed to know and how it involved the characters chasing them and frankly I don't care. This is by no means Carrey's best work, since he was obviously trying to channel Dirty Harry for his Hank character, but he successfully gets me to care about Charlie. His three 'sons' in my opinion were waaay over the top and could have been toned down quite a bit. Zwellger obviously did this film because she was dating Carrey at the time. The results was that she came across more as a prop than a real character and that's remarkable for someone with her talent. The Farrelly brothers' oddball comedy is a hit in most areas which makes it easy to recommend this comedy if you're truely in a goofy mood.

For the first 45 or so minutes of the film, I haven't laughed harder in my life.......2007-04-01

The first 45 minutes of Me, Myself and Irene are so
wrong, so self depricating, and so dark (in terms of humor)
that it brought on tears.. tears of laughter..
I think the movie kind of tails off a bit during the
development of Renee Zelweger and Jim Carrey's relationship,
but like I said, the beginning of the movie
makes it all worth it.. if you're looking for rude, over
the top comedy that is vulgar and innapropriate, you've
knocked on the right door.

Go For It!.......2007-02-18

This is one of the funniest movies that has been made in recent years, Jim Carrey is the master of physical comedy and proves himself once again in this movie. The only problem is that it runs a little too long for this story and does start to fizzle out towards the end, but it is overall really funny and one of my favorite movies to watch.

A Real Mess He Got Himself In For..........2007-01-11

This was not your typical Jim Carrey flick; here, he pretended to be a Phode Island highway patrolman. It was actually a nasty movie: "my dad says you're a joke" by a foul-mouthed little girl. Charlie had to take the law in his own hands as everywhere he looked, people made fun of him. Hank, his alter ego, is the aggressive part of Charles who avoids confrontations at all costs. He's treated as a mental patient, i.e., "Close your eyes but keep your mind wide open."

There was too much vulgar language in the homogenous population, white mothers with black children. If this is t he type of employee the highway patrol has in Rhode Island, and the Knox city police who show no respect or integrity are the same type of character, then this country is just an immoral entity full of evil and demonic police "officers." The kid in the restaurant had rude manners. There just was nothing funny about multi-personality. It was total insanity.

A little know gem.......2007-01-16

I caught this flick on cable a few years back and it always stayed with me. So, when I found it on Amazon for only five bucks I jumped at it.

The movie still holds up after all those years. Rachael Griffiths is great, and the story is timeless. It reminds me of another one of my favorites, "The Family Man" with Nicolas Cage.

If you're in the mood for a chick flick and have run through your collection, you won't be sorry if you add this one to the bunch.

Great Movie.......2005-11-14

One of the best movies I've seen in a long time... addresses the question "what if" we had made other choices in our lives - How would our lives be different? What would stay the same?. I especially liked it because, unlike movies like "Family Man", it doesn't romanticize one path or another but rather shows the (realistic) highs and lows of being married vs. being single and how you can be happy with either life style.

Great movie about parellel universes with the wonderful Rachel Griffiths!.......2005-09-20

If you discovered Rachel Griffiths on "Six Feet Under", or anywhere else for that matter, you know that she is a phenomenal actress with the ability to draw viewers in with her remarkable intensity. Few actresses can pull off a film like this one. Griffiths is in almost every single scene and yet we never get tired of seeing her. In fact, Griffiths is the kind of actress that intrigues you so much, that you cannot seem to stop watching her. Her beauty is strange. It's the kind that makes you wonder how she can be so plain one minute, yet so gorgeous the next. It's also the kind that exudes self-confidence while at the same time displaying incredible vulnerability.

The first time I saw this film it was aired on HBO after an episode of "Six Feet Under". At first, I thought the premise of the film might be a little too familiar. It almost seemed to echo IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE and the Gwenyth Paltrow sleeper SLIDING DOORS, but after it was over, I discovered that this movie had a warm feeling that was definitely unique. I won't go into details as there are plenty of recaps available, but I will say that the film is about what it would be like to see two different versions or yourself, making two completely different sets of choices for each one.

ME MYSELF I gives viewers the feeling that life can turn out fine no matter which road we take. That is a comforting thought in today's society. Too often we question our choices, assigning a definitive wrong or right to whatever it is that we're choosing. Maybe, if we learn the lesson this film teaches, we won't be so skeptical the next time we're at a crossroad. We might just take a chance...and that chance just might be as good as the one we passed up.

Rachel Griffiths in a rather decent "road not taken" movie.......2004-11-16

"Me Myself I" is yet another example of a film where the hero/ine gets a chance to see the road not taken. Although we can trace this particular genre back at least to Dickens "A Christmas Carol," the cinematic epitome remains, of course, "It's a Wonderful Life," where Frank Capra puts Jimmy Stewart's George Bailey through the hell of a world in which he was never born. Sometimes the hero/ine gets a chance to live their life over again from a pivotal point (e.g., "Peggy Sue Got Married," "Mr. Destiny"), and sometimes they find themselves living a different life (e.g., "The Family Man"). "Me Myself I" is an example of the latter.

In "Me Myself I" it is Pamela Drury (Rachel Griffiths) who gets to see what might have been. She has made it to the age of 30 without getting married, writing for a magazine, smoking too much, and repeating glossing over the problems in her life by repeatedly telling herself the big lie, "I deserve the best and I accept the best." But when her happily married best friend has a baby, Pamela rethinks her life. Maybe she could have that too, even though she does not particularly like babies. She even meets a guy (Sandy Winton), but he turns out to be married. Suddenly, Pamela is having second thoughts about what happened all those years ago when she turned down Robert (David Roberts).

The next thing she knows, Pamela is not paying attention to where she is going as she agonizes over her life, and she gets hit by a car. However, the driver of the car turns out to be herself, that is to say, the one who married Robert all those many years ago. This seems a rather natural occurrence given their state of minds, and so Pamela switches places with Pamela. This gives our heroine one big advantage over most of the movie characters who end up in her position. She knows what she is heading into, even if she knows nothing about taking care of kids or what it means to toilet train a toddler. For once, the character enters the situations full of neither hope nor terror, but simply wanting to know if the road not taken lead to a better life.

Despite this twist, most of the scenes in this 1999 film are standard ones given the genre. Pamela has to roll with the punches as she learns about her husband, her children, and the life she never had. One of the nice things about writer-director Pip Karmel's script is that it deals with the realities of a marriage instead of the cutesy way a woman in Pamela's predicament usually has to find out about being a wife and a mom. There are some surprises in store as she finds out that Pamela's life is not perfect. Her look at the life she could have had answers questions, but raises more.

As is almost always the case, the success of this film rests on the performance of the main character. Griffiths has to carry most of the film and while Karmel does not come up with any big moments, the little ones suffice. "Me Myself I" is not as deep as it might be, and you can interpret the lessons any way you want, but it seems to lead to the inevitable if not obvious conclusion that you should never be so busy with your life that you do not bother to live it. Like the double main character in "Sliding Doors," both Pamelas are living their lives at the same time, but we stick with the one we started with through the main part of the film. But I cannot help but wonder what the married Pamela thought about the life she could have lived. Again, there is more to explore here than the film actually explores, which just underscores why this genre continues to persist to this day and beyond.

not for every taste.......2003-10-10

If you like sophisticated comedy with insightful and psychologically well-informed content, this is a movie for you. The filmmaker could have oversimplified either married life or single life, but didn't. She could have glorified one or the other, but didn't. Neither life is ideal. Neither lifestyle gives Pamela everything she wants and wanted. There are no easy answers and no easy way. Single or married, Pamela will have to work at it and to accept a less-than-ideal life. In the end, she does. And Rachel Griffiths, of course, is priceless!

There's Something About Mary is one of the funniest movies in years, recalling the days of the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker movies with (often tasteless) gags piled on at a fierce rate. The difference is that cowriters and codirectors Bobby and Peter Farrelly have also crafted a credible story line and even tossed in some genuine emotional content, made all the funnier by the fact that you know that they know that some of their gags go way over the line. Cameron Diaz stars as Mary, every guy's ideal. Ben Stiller plays a high-school suitor still hung up on Mary years later. The obstacles standing between him and Mary include a number of psychotic suitors, a miserable little pooch, and, oh yeah, a murder charge.

In a minor miracle, the clever romantic fantasy Shallow Hal offers unexpected substance with the same comedic effrontery that made the Farrellys famous. Their antihero is Hal (Jack Black), whose fixation on beautiful women is reversed so he can see only the inner beauty of "undesirables"--like his new girlfriend Rosemary (Gwyneth Paltrow), gorgeous in Hal's eyes despite being grossly obese. The movie's handling of this conundrum is sweetly sincere, poking fun at social prejudices while validating those (overweight, homely, disabled) who are often heartbroken by Hal's brand of shallowness. The concept won't hold up to scrutiny, but Shallow Hal works as an often hilarious reminder that physical beauty is only skin deep.

In Me, Myself & Irene, Jim Carrey plays cop Charlie Baileygates, a nice guy who goes around trying to do the right thing but gets taken advantage of every step of the way. His psyche can only take so much, 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. 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 but many more miss, and some great concepts don't go anywhere. It's like the movie itself has a split personality--funny ideas trapped in a less- than-funny film.

Hi,

I like extras in DVD's. I enjoy watching the "making of" documentaries included with normal DVD's.

This boxed set has nothing.

For example, if you want to watch behind the scenes video of "There's Something About Mary" then do not buy this product. Instead purchase the separate product named "There's Something More About Mary (Widescreen 2-Disc Collector's Edition) (1998)".
That way you'll get the behind the scenes stuff.

These are the funniest films I have ever seen........2005-12-30

The farrelly brothers are known for there crude humor and gross out comedies usually done in bad taste although its not that gross compared to other Hollywood comedy films, they also manage to make some very witty and humouros stuff and laugh out loud moments with there characters. But first you might want to know that if you liked Dumb and dumber and that particular brand of humor than your going to love these films. There's something about Mary is probably their biggest hit and one of there best, it stars Ben Stiller who happens to still be in love with his highschool crush from 13 years ago but an embarrising incident involving a zipper has ruined his chances of going to the dance with her. A hillarious film with psychotic characters and pathetic friends who try to help or sabotage his chance of meeting Ben Stiller's first love Mary (Cameron Diaz) he also needs to watch out for Puffy the dog. Me myself and Irene tells the story of a cop played by Jim Carrey who is a very nice guy that has a lot of problems he also has a split personality disorder and his alter ego causes alot of havoc he also has black kids from his cheating ex-wife that he has raised. I thought that this film was very underrated and its a great comedy. Now Shallow Hal was deffinently the weakest film in the boxset, Hal played by Jack Black is only intrested in slim and attractive women and keeps harrasing them until one day he gets hypnotised into seeing the inner beauty of a woman by some hynotist. He starts dating an obese woman played by Gwyneth Paltrow who he sees as an attractive and beautiful person that has a nice heart, thats all very nice but the film isn't as funny as the other faralley films. Overall this was a great addition to my comedy collection and the only thing missing like the other reviwers have said was King pin which is my favorite but I got that on a seperate dvd. If you go to Amazon.co.uk (I should have done this sooner) you will get a better boxset which has the same films plus two more Stuck on you and Say it isn't so and it happens to be alot cheaper aagh!.

Perverted Sicko Degenerates.......2004-12-11

The Farrelly Brothers are perverted sicko degenerates. I had a sick feeling after watching "Shallow Hal" and "There's Something About Mary". Do not buy these sick movies and do not let your children or anyone else you care about watch them.

Best effort possible.......2003-04-11

Although missing Kingpin and Dumb and Dumber (there best films after There's Something About Mary), this is the best possible package from fox. You see, Dumb and Dumber if from New Line, and Kingpin is from MGM. Fox only owns the three here. If you are a big fan of There's Something About Mary, wait! A 2-disc version is supposed to come out later this year. I give Mary five stars, and three for the other two. Although missing D&D and Kingpin, this is the best possible effort, as it has all three films from Fox by the Farrely's, and the best possible editions. I wouldn't buy it unless you love all three, becuase Mary comes out in a Special Edition, and this box is only a little cheaper than them all individually. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and feel free to leave me a helpful/not helpful feedback. God Bless America!

BUT, What About..............???.......2002-12-03

Dumb & Dumber??? KINGPIN????? How could you POSSIBLY call this a Farrelly Collection without these two gems- only the best two films they made! "Mary" had it's moments, but loses you towards the end. "Irene", aside from an occational laugh (the sons were HILARIOUS!!!) was average at best. And "Hal" was WAY too sweet for the likes of a Farrelly movie. I literally ROARED the first time I saw "Dumb & Dumber" & "Kingpen" and wore out several gears in my VCR from the constant rewinding to catch what I missed during the laughter. This box set makes as much sense as DVD box entitled "The Ultimate George Lucas Collection" with only American Graffitti & Howard the Duck. Too bad.

TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE..........2003-09-21

If you are a fan of the Farrelly brothers other movies, "King Pin", "There's Something About Mary", and "Dumb and Dumber", then you will really enjoy these two comedies.

"Me, Myself. and Irene" is a pretty funny, though somewhat sophomoric, movie. It is also pretty filthy, at times, and definitely not for the moviegoer of delicate sensibilities. There is something to offend just about everyone, so be prepared.

The basic premise of the movie is simple. A Rhode Island state trooper, Charley Baileygates, played by Jim Carrey, marries the prettiest and smartest girl in town. After she gives birth to triplets for whom Charley could not possibly be the father, for reasons obvious to the viewer, she later leaves him for another man, her soul mate and likely father of the triplets. She leaves Charley with the triplets, whom he raises as his own. The cuckolded Charley goes on to become the town joke and a seriously repressed man.

Eighteen years later, he snaps and begins to express his anger through an alternate personality and quintessential bad boy who calls himself Hank. Hank has attitude and plenty of it, and he lets everyone know that he is mad as hell and is not going to take it anymore. Charley's superiors send him to be evaluated, and he is given medication to control his psychiatric disorder.

Enter Irene, played by Renee Zellweger. Charley is asked to escort her to upstate New York where she is ostensibly wanted on a hit and run. Unbeknownst to either of them, she is being hunted down by dirty cops who are looking to silence her, as it is believed that she may have information that could take down her crooked ex boyfriend who is being investigated by the EPA.

During their trip, Hank, Charley, and Irene have a host of adventures, which are often hilarious, as Charley and Hank battle over who will become the dominant personality. The low key Zellweger is a good foil for the rubber faced Carrey's physical comedy. As Charley and Irene are pursued by the dirty cops, the now grown triplets, funny and profane, also add another element, as they go to their father's rescue.

The Farrelly brothers and Jim Carrey are a match made in heaven. Their style suits Carrey's, as the movie is full of the physical comedy and sight gags which are Carrey's forte.

"Shallow Hal" is one of the better films by the Farrelly brothers. Though they have not shaken off their lowbrow sense of humor, they have managed to better incorporate it into their film, so as not to lose all credibility. As a result, they have put together a pretty decent and unusual romantic comedy.

The plot revolves around our not so good looking leading man, Hal Larson (Jack Black) who, due a traumatic scene with his dying father when only nine years old, is fixated on dating only women who have super model looks. Pumped up by his equally not so good looking, best friend, Mauricio Wilson (Jason Alexander), Hal is hell-bent on dating only good looking women no matter how stupid, mean, or self absorbed they may be. It is no wonder that he has yet to find the woman of his dreams.

A run in with motivational speaker, Tony Robbins, changes Hal's life, when Tony places a subliminal message into Hal's subconscious, causing him to see only the person's inner beauty. When his path crosses that of the morbidly obese, but warm and kindly Rosemary Shanahan (Gwyneth Paltrow), it is love at first sight for him. He does not see a fat girl but a beautiful and luminous Gwyneth Paltrow.

Hal continues to see only the inner beauty of all those whom he meets,
until he is brought back to a jarring reality by his erstwhile best friend. What happens when faced with the reality of having a morbidly obese girlfriend is a trial and tribulation that only Hal can resolve. Will true love win out? Watch the movie and find out.

Gwyneth Paltrow is sensational as Rosemary. Her delivery is affecting, as she comes across as sensitive, sweet, and hesitant, as well as somewhat lacking in confidence. She is absolutely incandescent in the role. She effectively plays the part of Rosemary, as if she were a young woman unused to the attentions of a suitor. She is also quite funny at times, as Hal's comedic foil.

Jason Black, as Hal, is also funny, though somewhat wooden. He is obviously a comedian, rather than an actor. Still, he manages to play his part effectively, overall, though I found him to be somewhat uncharismatic. Jason Alexander plays his role a bit too over the top, almost manic, and ends up being more obnoxious, rather than funny. In the end, however, when his own personal secret comes out, it really is a hilarious moment in true Farrelly brothers fashion. The rest of the supporting cast is very good and effectively contribute to the comedic efforts of the film.
