Summary
RATING: R for sexual content, crude humor, strong language and some violence
Starring Jim Carrey, Renee Zellweger, Chris Cooper, Anthony Anderson, and Robert Forster
A state trooper (Carrey) has a split-personality, one of which is mild-mannered and one violently aggressive. Comedy ensues when both personalities fall in love with the same woman (Zellwegger).

Slate David Edelstein
A disgusting piece of work; I still can't believe how much I loved it.
Read Full Review >Rolling Stone Peter Travers
Irresistibly deranged.
New York Daily News Jack Mathews
Carrey's performance is a tour de force of physical mime.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Jay Carr
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 Lou Lumenick
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 New York Times Dana Stevens
The humor in Me, Myself and Irene is often outrageous but rarely cruel.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
Every instance of gleeful bad taste is timed and positioned for maximum, liberating laugh value.
Read Full Review >Portland Oregonian Shawn Levy
While they've managed to make a funny movie, they haven't made a great comedy.
Charlotte Observer Lawrence Toppman
Few actors can match Carrey's ability to change his features and body language.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington
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 Wesley Morris
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 Michael Atkinson
A tepid and surprisingly dull farce stamped from the "About Mary" mold.
Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
Carrey gives an awesome comic performance.. Look out for huge amounts of deliberately disgusting, gross-out humor, though.
Read Full Review >TNT RoughCut Susannah Breslin
For me, the Farrelly Brothers never rise beyond the late-night tittering of kids at summer camp.
San Francisco Chronicle Bob Graham
The good ol' Jim Carrey we knew and loved is back, rude, crude and unglued.
Read Full Review >Dallas Observer Bill Gallo
Carrey and the Farrellys are equal-opportunity offenders.
Read Full Review >Village Voice J. Hoberman
This is the first movie I've ever seen -- porn included -- in which a guy gets coldcocked with a dildo.
Read Full Review >Film.com Robert Horton
These film-making provocateurs are divided between sweet and sour, between the romance of classic screwball comedy and Mad magazine on acid.
Read Full Review >Time Richard Corliss
You are hereby absolved of all guilt when you laugh your ass off in the first half of the film.
Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez
Hilarious, but it isn't much of a movie.
LA Weekly Manohla Dargis
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.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea
Utterly charmless - there's not even a glimmer.
USA Today Susan Wloszczyna
It's not dumb-good. It's dumb-stupid.
Variety Todd McCarthy
Funny as much of the action is, however, the approach feels rather less fresh, and the gross-outs seem more gratuitous.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
A disappointment that mines the same vein of gross-out romantic comedy as"There's Something About Mary," without that film's oddball charm.
Read Full Review >Baltimore Sun Ann Hornaday
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.
Salon.com Stephanie Zacharek
Leaving the theater, I couldn't quell those waves of disappointment: It just should have been funnier.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector
A kind of idealist fantasy that seems almost hamstrung by its plot.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan
As the Farrellys have proved, tastelessness can be made palatable, but they've misfired with Me, Myself & Irene.
Read Full Review >Newsweek David Ansen
This is a farfetched premise, and the movie pays a price for it.
Film.com Tom Keogh
It's sporadically funny but often unfunny, the latter worse than not being funny enough.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Rita Kempley
If you choose to see this puerile tripe, check your dignity at the door.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold
It's by far the worst comedy either he (Carrey) or the Farrelly Brothers have ever made.

Gavin C gave it a7:
It may be quite crude, but the laughs keep it on its feet.
My Name gave it a10:
My favorite film. It had a great plot and Jim Carrey was hilarious, although the film would have been better if he sisnt have this big white plaster on his chin for half the movie. Overall, I loved it.
R Dalvi gave it a5:
Humorous moments were good but not much. Carrey gives an excellent performance as both the personalities. The three sons of Carrey are hilarious. Overall, an okay movie. But I wish they had put more humor. Zellweger is cool.
Esteban F. gave it an8:
Amazing jokes, but an horrible plot. No more comments.
max n. gave it a7:
