Review – Me, Myself and Irene

Here’s yet another uneven comedy starring the histrionic antics of Jim Carey. This time around he’s a long-suffering cop who keeps his frustrations with life bottled up until they manifest themselves as an obnoxious alter-ego. The actual plot isn’t all that interesting, and the story turns serious – and boring – often enough to make the overall production more than a little uneven. Even a fair percentage of the jokes fall flat. But when the comedy works it really works, especially when Carey’s alternate personality first emerges. Mildly amusing
