Me, Myself & Irene

Slate David Edelstein

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

Rolling Stone Peter Travers

Irresistibly deranged.

New York Daily News Jack Mathews

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

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.

Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum

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

Austin Chronicle Marc Savlov

Has those proverbial big laffs in spades.

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.

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.

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.

Dallas Observer Bill Gallo

Carrey and the Farrellys are equal-opportunity offenders.

Village Voice J. Hoberman

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

A labored and sour comedy.

Salon.com Stephanie Zacharek

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

Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector

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

Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan

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

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.

Washington Post Rita Kempley

If you choose to see this puerile tripe, check your dignity at the door.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold

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