A disgusting piece of work; I still can't believe how much I loved it.

Irresistibly deranged.

Carrey's performance is a tour de force of physical mime.

Boston Globe
It has a few laughs, but it also has a lot of dead air, and barely any plot at all. In sporting terms, it's no home run.

New York Post
Doesn't quite reach the heights - though it does plumb the depths - of its hugely popular predecessor. But it will have an enormous, appreciative audience doubled over with belly-busting laughs.

The humor in Me, Myself and Irene is often outrageous but rarely cruel.

Entertainment Weekly
Every instance of gleeful bad taste is timed and positioned for maximum, liberating laugh value.

Has those proverbial big laffs in spades.

While they've managed to make a funny movie, they haven't made a great comedy.

Charlotte Observer
Few actors can match Carrey's ability to change his features and body language.

Chicago Tribune
The movie is dedicated, in a nice touch, to early Farrelly fan Gene Siskel. And Gene was right: The Farrellys are often very funny filmmakers. .

San Francisco Examiner
You can see Bobby and Peter Farrelly bent over blowing violently into the sails of this toy boat, trying to get it to move.

Mr. Showbiz
A tepid and surprisingly dull farce stamped from the "About Mary" mold.

Christian Science Monitor
Carrey gives an awesome comic performance.. Look out for huge amounts of deliberately disgusting, gross-out humor, though.

For me, the Farrelly Brothers never rise beyond the late-night tittering of kids at summer camp.

San Francisco Chronicle
The good ol' Jim Carrey we knew and loved is back, rude, crude and unglued.

Dallas Observer
Carrey and the Farrellys are equal-opportunity offenders.

Village Voice
This is the first movie I've ever seen -- porn included -- in which a guy gets coldcocked with a dildo.

These film-making provocateurs are divided between sweet and sour, between the romance of classic screwball comedy and Mad magazine on acid.

You are hereby absolved of all guilt when you laugh your ass off in the first half of the film.

Hilarious, but it isn't much of a movie.

LA Weekly
For all their foul jokes and embarrassments, the brothers have a talent for creating characters whose goodness, and lack of ironic self-consciousness, shield them against life's insults.

Utterly charmless - there's not even a glimmer.

Funny as much of the action is, however, the approach feels rather less fresh, and the gross-outs seem more gratuitous.

TV Guide
A disappointment that mines the same vein of gross-out romantic comedy as"There's Something About Mary," without that film's oddball charm.

Baltimore Sun
At some point the foul language, lascivious sight gags, references to sex toys, violence against animals and cruelty toward children simply ceases to be funny.

Chicago Sun-Times
A labored and sour comedy.

Leaving the theater, I couldn't quell those waves of disappointment: It just should have been funnier.

Chicago Reader
A kind of idealist fantasy that seems almost hamstrung by its plot.

Los Angeles Times
As the Farrellys have proved, tastelessness can be made palatable, but they've misfired with Me, Myself & Irene.

Newsweek
This is a farfetched premise, and the movie pays a price for it.

It's sporadically funny but often unfunny, the latter worse than not being funny enough.

It's by far the worst comedy either he (Carrey) or the Farrelly Brothers have ever made.
